Health Science Foundations from Applied Technologies

Health Science Foundations

Introduction

Surgeon in scrubs Applied Technologies is proud to present a great way to teach Accountability Criteria for the National Healthcare Skill Standards established by the National Consortium for Health Science Education. View a PDF file of the National Healthcare Foundations Standards and Accountability Criteria.

Our Foundations course covers all 11 of the Foundation Standards and Accountability Criteria totaling 120-150 hours of material and activities. The 11 standards include:

Academic Foundations
Communications
Systems
Employability Skills
Legal Responsibilities
Ethics

Safety Practices
Teamwork
Health Maintenance Practices
Technical Skills
Information Technology Applications

Within each lesson, students complete an online study that teaches specific information about that lesson’s accountability criteria. Most studies conclude with an assessment measuring the student’s comprehension of the subject matter.

Next, teachers use lesson plans and suggested activities, such as role-playing, projects, and group activities, from the Instructor’s Guide to reinforce the accountability criteria within the health care environment. Rubrics are included to assist teachers in assessing group and individual performance.
