Our 2019 Annual Required Training (ART) course is available in HealthStream through Friday, September 27. All Texas Children’s employees, contractors, and volunteers, are required to complete the course to satisfy Texas Children’s compliance requirements.* The completion goal is 100 percent across the organization.
What you need to know about ART:
- All workforce members are required to complete ART except for:
- New Texas Children’s employees (including Texas Children’s physicians) who were hired after January 1, 2019.
- All staff members must review the course content and complete the attestation to receive credit.
- Employees who are on leave of absence are required to complete ART within 30 days of their release back to work.
- It is a Joint Commission and OSHA requirement for staff to renew their knowledge on an annual basis regarding key components such as: Patient Safety, Bloodborne Pathogens, Hand Hygiene, Diversity and several other important topics. Texas Children’s, in keeping with HIPAA guidelines, also requires staff to review their knowledge regarding Privacy, Compliance, and Information Security to ensure that Texas Children’s continues to sustain a safe and ethical environment in which to work and receive care.
