Medication Administration Training Process

In-person testing:

Washtenaw County Learning Resource Center (LRC): 4135 Washtenaw Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48108.

Within 30 days of hire: All staff must be oriented to Recipient Rights using the paper curriculum titled “Day One Rights Orientation.” It’s strongly suggested that staff complete this orientation on their first day of hire process, as they cannot work alone with consumers until it’s completed. A signed and dated copy of the orientation should be printed and maintained in the staff’s record as proof of completion. A copy of the “Day One Orientation” can be located on the Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeastern Michigan website at: https://www.cmhpsm.org/training.
Within 90 days of hire: All staff must complete Rights training, conducted by a Rights Officer, within 90 days of hire. Staff may also complete this by attending training at one of our affiliate CMHs or at another approved CMH (please contact ORR with questions). All Rights classes for Direct Care Workers will continue to be on a “first come, first served” basis and limited to the first 50 people to arrive. There will be no prior registration. There will be a Rights Officer present to sign attendees into the Rights class 15 minutes prior to the start of the training.

All staff must retake Rights training annually (per State requirements) via online/electronic training or in person.
A copy of the online Recipient Rights quiz results should be printed and maintained in the staff’s record as proof of completion. Staff may retake Rights training if required by the employer or the Rights Office as a result of rights violations or other concerns.
The Annual Recipient Rights Refresher Training is located on the Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeastern Michigan website at: https://www.cmhpsm.org/training.

Employers are responsible for tracking their staff’s initial Rights training and ensuring staff retake training every year.
Employers are required to submit to Network Management, when requested, the name, date of hire, and date of completion of the “Day One Orientation” for all new hires.
Employers should maintain clear and easily accessible records of all Rights training received by staff and provide it upon request.
