Competency at Clinic Sites

Hi Karissa,
Are you indicating that your initial training, and then all competency assessments are tracked for an employee/testing personnel using one form for each (for the year), and all of the POC tests are listed on the same form?
Just getting a handle on what you've got. Alot of us use competency forms per the test (manual or instrument, each test gets it's own form).
Your second question is completely understood (on the difficulty) for many of us here. Is the 'they submit to POC' coming from educators who are the trainers/checkoff folks, or the supervisors of the 17 clinic sites are in that role?
Thanks.

Hi Peggy, 
To simply answer the question, yes. Our initial training form includes a section for each device/kit to be signed off on (typically things that are done at each site). For those tests that may be specific to only a location or two, we have a separate training sheet that looks similar to the big training form. As far as yearly competency, each site then receives an excel grid with the performing employees name and then a row for them to check off/date when they have performed QC, a patient test and completed an accompanying quiz for each test. 

Using that grid is quite the amount of work though because I still need to verify they didn't just make things up. So I am then running reports and reviewing the information they are putting. 

Usually it is a Clinic Team Lead or Clinic Manager that should be submitting to lab as they are the final check off/signature on the form. 

We create a competency assessment in Healthstream for each testing platform.  That way, they have the quiz that goes with their module to cover troubleshooting and then a competency assessment to go along with it where we document direct observation or QC/patient performance.
