Dear All,

I am starting the development of a survey tool for a ‘primary health
care worker training needs assessment’ – covering district hospital,
long term care & community settings + both nurses & carers. I know that
sounds rather broad but it may yet be segmented into different settings
and HCW groups as it evolves…

It seems that most IC assessment or audit tools I can find focus on
system characteristics such as reporting and governance, rather than
what I’m attempting as a ground level educator, looking at the current
knowledge base & competencies of the workforce and figuring out what
needs addressing the most urgently, for which groups and where they are
– all on a local level.

I have taken my inspiration from Bush Knapp, et al.’s description of
their approach using both directed and scenario based questions to
elicit underpinning knowledge. I’m not aware of any further work
following this pilot study, and have submitted an info request to the
contact email provided.

All ideas gratefully received,

Thanks Sue,

Coincidentally I spent the day with Annie and Saffron from TIPCU
yesterday and we used the OSSIE with our liaison program participants –
which reminded me just how useful it is!
