Re: Supervision of other disciplines

[Guest guest]

Are you talking about clinical competency or performance of job tasks?

In our organization Clinical competency reviews are peer generated , job

performance reviews (from a task perspective) are Director generated.

We have never had a problem with TJC with this process

Superision of other disciplines

Hello collegues-

I would like to hear how other facilities are handling performance

reviews for individuals they might supervise who are outside their own

particular discipline. We are a realtively small organization and have

a very flat organizational structure without discipline specific therapy

leads or levels. Simply a therapy supervisor who oversees all the PT,

OT and Speech staff at their particular site.

TJC Standard HR.01.06.01 requires that performance be evaluated by

someone with the clinical training, knowledge, and competence to assess

the skills of the practitioner. In their last visit to us, TJC

determined that a PT could not evaluate the performance of an OT or

Speech therapist and visa versa.

We have used a peer review system in the past to collect data/feedback

that we integrate into the performance appraisal. That did not meet

TJC's needs. Any additional suggestions on how to improve on this ?

Thanks very much!

Our clinical competencies are peer reviewed as well, once a year.

Ie...SLP evaluates SLP, OT evaluates with clinical competencies other

OT's...PT's review PT's competencies.

These competencies are also changed annually and have a component of reflection

of our Performance Improvement Plans indicators as well as problem Prone, High

Risk areas of care, that come from Monthly/Annual review of incidence reports or

Fall data.

Performance reviews are Director and Team Lead generated.

We have always hit TJC and CARF stds with this process.

clinical competency assessment., which we have since fized with peer reviews, we

think.
