Join us to take a real but humorous look at the madness we create with ineffective approaches to competency assessment, and learn how to design a system that is more meaningful, manageable, and even a little fun.
Competency assessments help verify that your staff have the skills they need to perform their jobs effectively, ensuring patient safety and satisfaction. However, because of the way they are typically conducted, competency assessments are often a dreaded burden to staff. An inefficient process, built only to satisfy regulators can be an ineffective time waster that contributes to a dysfunctional work environment. With the right approach, you can design an effective and meaningful competency assessment process that ensures efficient, effective care, creates a highly functional work environment, and satisfies regulatory bodies.
In this webinar, Donna Wright, author of “The Ultimate Guide to Competency Assessment in Healthcare”, will explore the three elements that are at the core of every successful competency assessment program:
- Collaboratively identified competencies that reflect the dynamic nature of work
- Employee centered verification
- A leader-created culture of success that focuses on the organization and supports positive employee behavior
We’ll take a real but humorous look at the madness we create through ineffective approaches to competency assessment, and learn how to design a system that is more meaningful, manageable, and even a little fun! Join us for this inspirational discussion about competency assessments. You’ll be glad you did!
Following Donna’s presentation, Halogen Software will provide a brief demonstration of Halogen eAppraisal™ Healthcare, highlighting the application of the concepts discussed.
