Technical
assistance is provided through large scale
projects developed in collaboration with
national, state, and local organizations. One
example of this type of technical assistance is
the Center’s large-scale training initiative
with Florida’s Title V agency, Children’s
Medical Services (CMS). Under this training
initiative the Center conducted a statewide
electronic needs assessment to determine the
immediate and long-term training needs of the
nurses and social workers throughout Florida’s
Children’s Medical Services Network. Webcasting
was determined to be an effective mechanism to
deliver training on current issues in the field,
as it substantially increases the number of
nurses and social workers who are able to
benefit from training. Two webcasts, one on
Adherence and the second on Use of Psychotropic
Medications, received high marks.
