§484.80(d) Standard: In-service training
A home health aide must receive at least l2 hours of in-service training during each
12-month period. In-service training may occur while an aide is furnishing care to a
patient.
Interpretive Guidelines §484.80(d)
The annual 12 hours of in-service training is met for the 12 months following successful
completion of an HHA aide training and competency evaluation, unless the HHA
introduces a new procedure that would indicate the need for further HHA aide in-service
training.
When conducting in-service training during patient care, the patient must first be
informed of and consent to the training and be informed of how the training will be
conducted; patient rights, respect for the patient’s preferences, and potential for care
disruption must always guide such training.
