12.7 GUIDELINES FOR PACE STAFF COMPETENCY REVIEWS

GUIDELINES FOR PACE STAFF COMPETENCY REVIEWS

INTRODUCTION

The PACE Regulation §460.66 requires PACE programs to provide training to maintain andimprove the skills and knowledge of each staff member that results in his or her continuedability to demonstrate the skills necessary for the performance of the position. This sectionprovides sample competency evaluation forms for a number of direct care positions. Section§460.71 requires that PACE organizations extend those requirements to the contract staff whoprovide direct care to participants. In addition, the PACE programs must provide each employ-ee and all contracted staff with an orientation, which must include the organization’s mission,philosophy, policies on participant rights, emergency plans, ethics, the PACE benefit and poli-cies and procedures relevant to each individual’s job duties.

Included in this section are model competencies organized alphabetically by position and sam-ple policies. The sample competency profile action plan found on page 143 can be attached toeach model competency profile. This section does include sample competency reviews fornon-direct care staff when samples were available.

NPA wishes to thank Palmetto SeniorCare for sharing their materials and Nadia Zerkani, MikeSnow and Geri-Ayn Gaul for serving as the technical advisory group for these resources.

140 2.7 GUIDELINES FOR PACE STAFF COMPETENCY REVIEWS

SAMPLE COMPETENCY BASED PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

Rules:Staff competency will be measured against the department job requirements for all new(PACE program) employees and annually for existing employees. The purpose of the com-petency based performance program is to verify that all (PACE program) employees havebeen trained and are capable of achieving job requirements and performance standards asidentified at (PACE program). The program also assists the employee to maintain and toincrease competency through educational programs.

The following definitions apply:

Competency:Characterized by three basic elements:1. an appropriate knowledge base;2. skills in use of equipment and technical aspects of role; and3. behaviors, such as critical thinking and implementation of performance standards, that

are adjusted to the work environment, clinical setting and participants.

Competency testing:A validation process used to verify that each employee has the appropriate knowledge,

skills and behaviors to achieve and maintain job expectations. Each discipline identifies key areas to be assessed incorporating Scope of Care

issues, i.e., age, diagnoses, cultural and religious needs of the participant.

With assistance:An employee must perform a task/behavior with a preceptor/instructor present and

“with assistance” is marked on an employee’s skills checklist or competency profile. Actionplans are developed to assist the employee to perform the action without assistance.

Identifying competency topics/levelCompetency topics/levels are identified in job descriptions, policies and procedures, (PACEprogram) mission statements and the scope of care/service for the Program for All-InclusiveCare for the Elderly (PACE).

Job descriptions identify knowledge requirements, skills and behaviors that are specificto the role of the employee.

Policies and procedures identify current national, state and local standards or requirements.

Page 147: Core Set for PACE CRSP - National PACE Association

CRSP

Core Resource Set for PACE

1412.7 GUIDELINES FOR PACE STAFF COMPETENCY REVIEWS

The mission statements and the clinical scope of care/service identify competency requirements including those related to the age population served (those ages 55 years and higher), the cultural, religious and psychological needs of the participant, and the goals/objectives of the participant and the goals/objectives of (PACE program).

Universal competency elements for all employees are identified in the safety, infec-tion control, quality improvement and body mechanics programs.

Measurement of competencyExpected competency outcomes and criteria for competency testing are identified in

performance standards and policies and procedures.References for competency may include: oral or written exams competency testing labs self learning modules charting reviews care plans participant interviews attendance at meetings and/or participation on committees BCL certification

Measurement for competency behavior testing is based on a 1-4 scale. Competencyis satisfactorily met if the employee is 1) able to perform independently or 2) able to performafter a review of information. Competency is not met if the employee 3) achieves thebehavior only if he/she has assistance or 4) is unable to perform the behavior.

The employee’s performance will be documented on the competency profile sheet.This sheet is kept at the (PACE program), accessible to the employee and the supervisor.Competency profiles will be used as a reference for clinical assignments.

An action plan is generated by the supervisor for an employee who does not achievethe required competency level within a specified time frame.

Frequency of competency testingAll new employees complete the competency based orientation program to verify

knowledge, skills and behaviors required in their role.The Frequency-Risk Grid (del Bueno, 1987) is used to identify topics for on-going,

periodic testing. The grid is also used to determine the frequency of testing. Topics that are identified as high risk-low frequency may be tested on a frequent

basis, i.e. monthly, quarterly or every six months. Topics identified through routine competency testing as areas in need of improve-

ment are targeted for more frequent evaluations until such time as satisfactory and consistent competency testing results are documented.

CRSP

Core Resource Set for PACE

142 2.7 GUIDELINES FOR PACE STAFF COMPETENCY REVIEWS

Mandatory topics, such as safety classes, standard precautions, infection control, bodymechanics or BLS will be included in mandatory annual competency achievement programs.If deficiencies are noted, more frequent review may be needed.

Skills proficiency labs may be held to facilitate equipment and procedure reviews andtesting depending on identified need.

Educational offerings and/or workshops may also be held on universal topics such asage-specific issues, cultural, religious and common needs of all participants.

CommunicationA summary of the competency testing results will be completed and maintained by

(PACE program) center managers and forwarded to the (PACE program) director and the(PACE program) quality improvement coordinator.

An annual report regarding the (PACE program) competency based performance pro-gram trends and patterns will be provided for the director of geriatric services and the (PACEprogram) board of directors.

SAMPLE INITIAL COMPETENCY SELF-ASSESSMENT

1. At the time of hire, each staff person will be required to complete a “Competency Self-Assessment” form. This form will provide supervisory staff with an assessment of the staff’s ability to perform each skill and activity required by their position.

2. In the event of noted deficiencies in one or more areas of competencies, supervisory staff will develop and implement a plan for correcting deficiencies. The plan will include the training and education necessary for the staff person to become competent in the skills required for the position.

SAMPLE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SAMPLE POLICY

Purpose:To provide an objective basis on which to evaluate the performance of employees so that salary adjust-ments are properly substantiated.

Scope:All (PACE program) employees.

Policy: Supervisors and employees are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an

informal, day-to-day basis. For performance evaluations/development plans are generally con-ducted at the end of an employee’s initial period in any new position. This period, known as theintroductory period, allows the supervisor and the employee to discuss the job responsibilities, standards and performance requirements of the new position. Additional formal performance evaluations are generally conducted to provide both supervisors and employees the opportunityto discuss job tasks, identify and correct weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths and discuss positive, purposeful approaches for meeting goals.

Performance evaluations are generally scheduled approximately every 12 months, coinciding generally with the anniversary of the employee’s original date of hire.

Merit-based pay adjustments may be awarded by (PACE program) in an effort to recognize truly superior employee performance. The decision to award such an adjustment is dependentupon numerous factors, including the information documented by this formal performance evaluation process.
