DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project is designed to fill an extremely important yet unmet need by developing an alternative training mechanism that has the potential for reaching all personnel responsible for risk management and quality improvement in programs that provide services to persons with mental retardation/developmental disabilities (MRDD) and the public agency staff that oversee such programs. Pursuing this objective, the applicant organization, Praxis, Inc., and Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School will work together to develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive training curriculum to provide knowledge and practical skills in the first of a series of on-line courses for training staff in the use of analytic tools for Risk Management in Developmental Disabilities (RMDD). The training curriculum will be an "anytime, anywhere" training program available to anyone with Internet access. The program, RMDD, is intended to meet the essential needs of public and private agencies to assure the health, safety and welfare of a very vulnerable population that is at increased risk of harm and that is being served in over 145,000 residential settings across the nation, a basic assurance all public agencies must meet to receive federal HCBS and ICF/MR funding. Course work will teach contemporary, evidence-based methods and procedures in RMDD specifically adapted to the unique nature of services directed at individuals with developmental disabilities. The product, RMDD will be a fully hosted, Web-based distance learning instructional program in which lessons will build upon one another, assisting learners to acquire a foundation of knowledge upon which more complex skill sets can be built. Learners who participate in RMDD will apply knowledge acquired through their readings to simulated or real life situations and adverse events that commonly occur in service settings serving the MRDD population. Self-assessments will be built into each module to help them accurately and systematically assess their skills and develop learning plans to improve when needed. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed project and the resulting product will directly benefit individuals who provide services and support to children and adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. The project has three major objectives: (1) to Design, develop, implement, and evaluate 6 new on-line training courses in risk management techniques and skills, (2) to develop a commercially viable software prototype, and (3) to evaluate the resulting program to determine the usability of the software and the effectiveness of the curriculum in teaching risk management skills.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的项目旨在通过开发一种替代培训机制来满足一个极其重要但尚未满足的需求，该机制有可能覆盖所有负责风险管理和质量改进的人员，这些人员为精神发育迟滞/发育障碍（MRDD）和监督此类计划的公共机构工作人员提供服务。为实现这一目标，申请组织Praxis，Inc.和马萨诸塞州医学院尤妮斯肯尼迪施莱佛中心将共同开发，实施和评估一个全面的培训课程，以提供知识和实践技能，在一系列在线课程的第一个，培训工作人员在使用分析工具，在发育障碍风险管理（RMDD）。培训课程将是一个“随时随地”的培训计划，任何人都可以访问互联网。该方案，即RMDD，旨在满足公共和私营机构的基本需求，以确保处于更大伤害风险中的非常脆弱的人群的健康、安全和福利，并在全国145，000多个居住环境中提供服务，这是所有公共机构必须满足的基本保证，以获得联邦HCBS和ICF/MR资金。课程工作将教授现代的，以证据为基础的方法和程序，特别适合针对发育障碍个人的服务的独特性质。该产品，RMDD将是一个完全托管的，基于网络的远程学习教学计划，其中课程将建立在彼此的基础上，帮助学习者获得知识的基础上，可以建立更复杂的技能。参加RMDD的学习者将把通过阅读获得的知识应用于模拟或真实的生活情况，以及服务于MRDD人群的服务环境中经常发生的不良事件。自我评估将被纳入每个模块，以帮助他们准确和系统地评估自己的技能，并制定学习计划，以在需要时提高。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的项目和由此产生的产品将直接有利于为智力和其他发育残疾的儿童和成人提供服务和支持的个人。该项目有三个主要目标：（1）设计、开发、实施和评估6个新的风险管理技术和技能在线培训课程，（2）开发商业上可行的软件原型，以及（3）评估最终程序，以确定软件的可用性和课程在教授风险管理技能方面的有效性。
