TMS Training
Our trainings are undergoing updates. Check back soon.
VA training resources in the comprehensive PPC approach were based on the ACP Modules. They offer asynchronous training videos on the ‘identify’ step and ‘care alignment’ steps and detailed discussion of strategies for decision making. However, we strongly recommend that VA health care providers use the TMS training modalities listed below as these were adapted for the VA health care system.
- Provided by a clinician trained and experienced in the PPC approach (see below). This reinforces PPC fundamentals, language skills required to develop specific, realistic, and actionable health outcome goals (especially for challenging cases).
- PPC trainers can directly observe OR review chart notes / PPC conversations for completeness and content. We additionally recommend the PPC Trainer observe or review 2-3 new facilitator conversations before deeming them independent in the process
- This Chart Review Tool can be helpful in documenting the completeness of a facilitator’s conversations for identifying priorities/step 1 for all 5 core elements.
