The purpose of the Health Care for the Homeless Information Resource Center Video Lending Program is to offer supplemental training to health care providers with priority given to federally funded Health Care for the Homeless staff and their subcontractors. This program was implemented as a result of the need for training, an increase in the number of quality video tapes available, the concern for all staff to receive training, and the high cost of training staff. The Video Lending Program offers an alternative training designed to meet the training needs of health care professionals. Videos can play an important part in refresher courses, in-service training, updating knowledge, and for staff orientation. We recommend that videos be viewed with several staff, allowing for discussion and interaction to occur during and following the video.
Videos are available to individuals and agencies serving the health care needs of the homeless.
Priority is given to federally funded Health Care for the Homeless agency staff. Videos are not to be copied. The video user is liable for any infringement. PRA will refuse to honor a request if violation to this copyright law is suspected. Furthermore, PRA will report copyright infringements and suspend video lending program privileges.
