Status:
Approve the continuation Agreement between The North Broward Hospital District d/b/a Broward Health and The School Board of Broward County, Florida. The contract period is August 21, 2014 through July 31, 2019.
Career and Technical Education high school and adult postsecondary students, district-wide, who are enrolled in Health Science Education Programs, participate in clinical learning experiences through contractual agreements with hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare related facilities. The Agreement with North Broward Hospital District d/b/a Broward Health provides clinical experiences necessary to meet Florida Department of Education mandated student performance standards. This agreement also addresses the requirements of regulatory agencies for students to qualify for certification/licensure examinations upon program completion.
In accordance with a School Board request, staff in the Career, Technical, Adult and Community Education Department developed a survey to measure the effectiveness of the clinical experience. This survey was completed by students, Health Science teachers, and selected staff of the facility. The results of the survey will be used to make recommendations for modifying clinical agreements that will strengthen the student?s job-site clinical experience and strengthen the overall Health Science Program. A summary of the survey responses from each group indicates an overall rating of 85% or higher as outstanding/above average for each survey question.
This agreement will be executed after School Board Approval.
This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
There is no financial impact to the District.
