BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CareAcademy, the leading home care and home health workforce empowerment platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Wild Iris Medical Education that will further expand the company’s offering to include accredited nursing continuing education.

Home health agencies of all types will now have access to skilled home healthcare courses from within CareAcademy’s market-leading training and compliance platform.

“CareAcademy is committed to enabling our agency partners across the entire care continuum to deliver the best possible care and improve their clients’ outcomes. This partnership with Wild Iris Medical Education further expands our reach to also encompass home healthcare providers including nurses, RNs, LPNs, and more,” said CareAcademy CEO and Founder Helen Adeosun. “We are enabling these home healthcare providers to build on existing skill sets by providing them with access to courses they need to maintain their licensure and deliver excellent patient care. Wild Iris Medical Education has an impressive history of delivering online courses and evidence-based articles to healthcare professionals. We are pleased to empower our agency partners by creating new ways to access this vital education for caregivers.”

CareAcademy’s mission is to upskill and prepare direct care workers of all types to meet the growing demand for home-based care serving older adults across the post-acute care continuum. The partnership with Wild Iris Medical Education will expand its offering to include continuing education to help individuals maintain their licenses in nursing. With many caregivers working long hours in care settings during the pandemic, CareAcademy’s mobile-friendly and on-demand training further improves accessibility for healthcare workers during this crisis and beyond.
