RCTCLEARN.NET is an academic based e-learning system partnering with home care and hospice agencies as well as state associations to provide convenient, affordable, and effective online education to members, agency staff and volunteers.
RCTCLEARN.NET is a division of Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC) located in Rochester, Minnesota. RCTCLEARN.NET began as a collaboration with local health care agencies and has grown into a nationally recognized e-learning education program for home care and hospice workers.
In 2006, RCTCLEARN.NET began a joint venture with the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) to provide internet based training in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Ruth Constant , Chairman of the Board of NAHC at that time, remarked, "This agreement will allow NAHC to build the nation's first integrated technology based home care provider training system ... and will become the cornerstone of a dynamic, technology based, training and education system, not only for our members, but for the entire home and community based provider industry."
RCTCLEARN.NET's content was and is developed by industry experts and higher education professionals with support from Minnesota State, the nation's 5th largest university system. This ensures the credibility of the content as well as the support for the e-learning management system that administers the courses.
Since its inception, RCTCLEARN.NET has delivered over 20,000 continuing education hours to home care and hospice employees across the U.S. Throughout the development process we have learned many lessons and are committed to a philosophy of continuous improvement to meet the education challenges of home care agencies and front line care providers that are integral to the health care industry.
