My InnerView, the leading provider of senior care quality improvement tools, and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire are collaborating to provide the My SeniorCare Edvantage Program, an online health management certificate that balances the realities of running a senior care business with the needs and preferences of customers and residents served.

This collaboration brings together two leaders—one in quality improvement in the senior care sector and the other in higher-education and distance learning. Their goal is to deliver a program that brings high-quality, cost-effective education to senior care professionals so that individuals and organizations as a whole can better serve residents and their families.

The goal of My SeniorCare Edvantage is to help individuals develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills needed to better serve residents, manage current operations, and capitalize on future opportunities. Individuals pursuing licensure as a nursing home administrator, individuals seeking professional development to advance their education and individuals interested in a job transition to the long-term care field will find course-content tailored to their learning objectives.

The certificate consists of 11 NAB-approved courses that cover topics such as person-focused care, evidence-based quality, data management, finance, human resources, marketing, laws and regulations and leadership. Courses are taught online, can be taken individually, and have no on-campus requirement. Courses will be taught primarily by UW-Eau Claire faculty, with consultation through My InnerView leadership and staff.

The first My SeniorCare courses are being offered fall of 2009. Students can register for courses on the program’s website at www.myseniorcareedvantage.com. Additional registration information is available from Cynthia Hofacker, My SeniorCare Edvantage program coordinator, at (715) 836-2488.
