TRACK STAFF PROGRESS AND COMPETENCIES
Among the JCAHO key survey focus areas is staff competency, and staff education and training. Documents frequently requested by the surveyor must evidence solid plans relating to specific competencies as well as staff progress toward those outcomes. ContinuTrac Medical (CTM) enables you to create plans using course listings, and match those plans to employees and departments. This provides clear connections among staff, their work function, and the training necessary to remain current and effective.

CTM allows personnel to be assigned a job code, which can be linked with required certifications. Each employee can belong to a department. By organizing courses to relate to job codes and departments, CTM makes it possible to quickly add requirements to groups of individuals, and for past training that relates to the certification to be recognized.

Should a nurse, for example, change specialty and work in another department, what training is required becomes immediately apparent when he or she is added to the new department. If some training from the past position was also required for the new one, CTM shows the training to already be completed.

The classes that build toward competency within a given job code can be any training. Classes can be learning experiences that assist staff in maintaining licensure, certification and encouraging career growth. It can include CEUs, conferences and lectures, grand rounds, Lunch and Learn and non-credit programs, as well as tuition reimbursed courses that are taught outside the facility.

Ultimately, investing in the education of staff, physicians and local residents, and giving them the tools they need to make optimum healthcare and medical decisions, allows all to benefit - the hospital, our community and most importantly, the patients. CTM provides a means to keep that investment advancing to full realization.
