What's the advantage of trained contractor employees?

This course introduces vendor employees to the many unique aspects of working in healthcare facilities. Without competency trained vendor employees, hospitals stand a real chance of failing an accreditation survey if they cannot show documentation evidencing that all outsourced contractor employees have completed such competency training.

Course Experts

Jack Rutledge

Course Creator

Before founding National Healthcare ED, Jack was the owner and President of Rutledge Environmental, a healthcare vendor for 24 years that worked in 10+ States and served 100+ hospitals. During that same timeframe, he was the Chapter Administrator and Conference Chairman for the Kentucky Society of Healthcare Engineers for 15 years. It was during his tenure with KSHE that Jack addressed a glaring weakness in available training for healthcare contractor employees. He assembled a team of presenters for training programs for those employees that included a hospital Director of Facilities, an Infection Preventionist, a hospital Security Director, and a Risk Manager. These training programs were conducted several times each year, 2005-2015, until Jack moved out of Kentucky after selling Rutledge Environmental. The idea of that training was what led to him to create National Healthcare ED and the online Priority One Series of Courses for Healthcare Contractor Employees.

Gary Slack

Then, when The Joint Commission, the largest hospital accreditation company in the USA, decided to add Life Safety Code Surveyors to their Survey Teams, they contracted with Gary to train the first class of those surveyors. Since Gary’s retirement as a healthcare consultant he has served as the Technical Advisor for National Healthcare ED.

Social proof: testimonials

“I will share that I thought that your training was top-notch. It was engaging and concise. I never lost interest once. I appreciate when a training regiment is that well done and I come away from it feeling as if I actually learned something. One could say maybe your organization should put out training material that would train other organizations on how to create training material. Just a little comic relief, but not far off the mark.”

“I feel I benefited from this training in many ways and I am very glad I took it! ”

“Great Program.....sure was informational and should cause one to think before doing just about anything as a contractor in a Healthcare Facility. I for one thought it relevant to our new scheduled work. ”
