OTTAWA, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 02/17/12 — Leading talent management provider has teamed with Donna Wright, renowned author and industry expert in healthcare competency assessment, to launch an educational webcast series that explores the best practices around this important industry topic.
To be delivered throughout 2012, the three part webcast series looks at how to transform the necessary but cumbersome practice of competency assessment in healthcare from a haphazard to manageable and meaningful process.
Author of “The Ultimate Guide to Competency Assessment in Healthcare,” Donna Wright is well regarded across the healthcare industry as an expert in the field. Each webcast will also explore how technology such as the solution can streamline and simplify the laborious task of clinical competency assessment and support regulatory requirements.
“We think that Donna-s approach to competency assessment is practical and refreshing – and she delivers her memorable content with a great sense of humor!” said Donna Bingenheimer BSN RN, Education Specialist Shore Medical Center, Somers Point, NJ. “As a healthcare provider, evaluating and documenting performance on clinical competencies is a critical part of the employee performance management and accreditation process but it can consume significant time and resources. Halogen eAppraisal Healthcare is designed around employee centered verification and accountability and helps to create an environment of success for the competency assessment process; which is a key message in Donna Wright-s approach. The powerful yet simple to use tools make competency management quicker and easier, and helped us to prepare for accreditation reviews.”
In the first webinar of the three part series, titled “Transform Your Competency Assessment Process from Crazy to Manageable and Meaningful!” Wright will explore the three elements at the core of every successful competency assessment program including: collaboratively identified competencies that reflect the dynamic nature of work, employee centered verification and a leader-created culture of success that focuses on the organization and supports positive employee behavior.
