To AICALIST@AICALIST.ORG.AU cc Subject Development of a staff gap analysis tool for IP&C  [SEC=No Protective Marking]

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 Im 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.
Im 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,

Many Thanks,
