  12. Workforce DevelopmentRoad Map Ongoing Ongoing Completed Ongoing November 2014 March 2015 Ongoing

  13. Overarching Work Plan • Identifying a curriculum • based on • competency analysis • Definition and agreement on • common standards of • competence and professionalisms • Competency Analysis To successfully complete our activities the work group is breaking down the work into three phases

  14. Phase 1: Competency Analysis • Competency Analysis • Identifying a curriculum • based on • competency analysis • Definition and agreement on • common standards of • competence and professionalisms 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) The Competency Analysis consists of 5 tasks:

  15. Competency AnalysisStep 1: Outline Scope Statement • Scope Statement • Working to create strategies for the development of a proficient health IT workforce and assuring healthcare, public health and allied professional work forces have the technology skills needed to enhance their professional experience and performance with eHealth/HealthIT • http://wiki.siframework.org/Workforce+Development+Work+Group 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) Using the MOU and the roadmap, the workgroup developed the foundation of our work through a Scope Statement….

  16. Competency AnalysisGoals and Objectives… • Assessment of the scope, scale and characteristics of the healthcare workforce in the US and EU in terms of eHealth capabilities. • Assessment of healthcare settings in the US and EU. • Develop role-based competencies, curricula for chosen scenarios in the US and EU. Perform analysis of competencies required by the diverse care workforce that include: • professionals in the field; • academic track for new professionals (pre-service) and those transitioning from other health disciplines and from mainstream ICT into the health sector; • all staff in healthcare delivery, management, administration and support. • allied healthcare teams; and • health IT professionals. 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) The Scope Statement established the framework for creating achievable Goals and Objectives

  17. Competency AnalysisGoals and Objectives continued • Identify or align learning resources that promote competencies identified in the US and EU. • Identify or align educational needs and learning resources (including baseline competencies) • Create a needs analysis that examines the current curricula and training which exists • Identify the gaps, and • Develop solutions to bridge the gap (e.g., plan to develop new curricula) • Define and agree upon common eHealth standards of competence and professionalism. The Objectives of the Workforce Development Workgroup:

  18. Competency AnalysisStep 2: Identify the Setting… Selection Criteria • stable setting; • setting that does not vary too much with the scale of the facility in which it is provided • setting that is delivered similarly in both the US and EU; and • setting with relatively common definitions on both sides of the Atlantic. 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) We solicited several Settings where we could evaluate roles against Health IT competencies.

  19. Competency AnalysisStep 2: Identify the Setting… • long-term care • ambulatory care • Rehabilitation center • Pharmacy • Acute Care • Clinics (Flu, HIV etc.) • Health record banks • Short list of options (as proposed and discussed by the community) included: • Diagnostics facilities (Facility that only performs MRIs) • Public health agencies • Mobile Health Care (blood banks, vaccinations) 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) The community suggestedseveral Settings where we could evaluate roles against Health IT competencies.

  20. Competency AnalysisStep 2: Identify the Setting continued • Acute Care is defined as “a level of health care in which a patient is treated for a brief but severe episode of illness, for conditions that are the result of disease or trauma, and during recovery from surgery” • Acute care is generally provided in a hospital by a variety of clinical personnel using technical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) Acute Care Setting was selected by the community

  21. Competency AnalysisStep 3: Identify Roles in Acute Care Resources: • European Commission • AHIMA • NHS 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) Example taken from actual US –EU role mapping work: http://wiki.siframework.org/Workforce+Development+Work+Group We identified roles in EU and US roles in Acute care, and mapped them to their corresponding counterparts

  22. Domain (5) 1. Direct Patient Care – 2. Administration, Management, Legal – 3. Engineering and Information Systems - 4. Informatics - 5. Research Settings (2) 1. Clinical - 2. Non Clinical Skill Level (4) 1. Basic - 2. Intermediate - 3. Advanced - 4. Expert Competency AnalysisStep 3: Classify Roles in Acute Care We categorized the roles into three classifications: Example taken from actual US –EU role mapping and classification work: http://wiki.siframework.org/Workforce+Development+Work+Group

Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) We collected competencies from 12 different sources resulting in categorizing more than 2700 Health IT competencies

  25. Competency AnalysisStep 4: Categorize Skills • Domain (5) • Direct Patient Care, Administration, Management, Legal, Engineering and Information Systems, Informatics, Research • Settings (2) • Clinical and Non Clinical • Skill Level (4) Example taken from actual competency mapping document: http://wiki.siframework.org/Workforce+Development+Work+Group • Basic • Intermediate • Advanced • Expert As we did with roles, we applied the same categorization schema to the competencies

  26. Expert Direct Patient Care Expert Direct Patient Care Advanced Direct Patient Care Advanced Direct Patient Care Basic Direct Patient Care Basic Direct Patient Care Intermediate Direct Patient Care Intermediate Direct Patient Care CLINICAL NON CLINICAL Competency AnalysisStep 4: Classify Competencies into Buckets Expert Admin, Fin, Law, Mgmt Expert Admin, Fin, Law, Mgmt Advanced • Admin, Fin, • Law, Mgmt Advanced • Admin, Fin, • Law, Mgmt Basic • Admin, Fin, • Law, Mgmt Basic • Admin, Fin, • Law, Mgmt Intermediate • Admin, Fin, • Law, Mgmt Intermediate • Admin, Fin, • Law, Mgmt Expert Engineer, Information Systems Expert Engineer, Information Systems Advanced • Engineer, • Information • Systems Advanced • Engineer, • Information • Systems Basic • Engineer, • Information • Systems Basic • Engineer, • Information • Systems Intermediate • Engineer, • Information • Systems Intermediate • Engineer, • Information • Systems Expert Informatics Expert Informatics Advanced • Informatics Advanced • Informatics Basic • Informatics Basic • Informatics Intermediate • Informatics Intermediate • Informatics Expert Research Expert Research Advanced • Research Advanced • Research Basic • Research Basic • Research Intermediate • Research Intermediate • Research IT Baseline Skills Applying the classifications: 5 domains, 2 Settings and 4 Skill levels we have 40 separate buckets plus a “Baseline Skills” bucket in which to categorize competencies

  27. Competency AnalysisStep 5: Mapping Skills to Roles • Because we use the same classification for Skills and Roles we are able map roles to skills • Once skills are mapped • Roles are reviewed (to ensure the competencies reflect the roles) • Duplicates are removed • Wording of the competencies is fixed • Gaps in Competencies are identified Role to Category Map Skill to Category Map 4. Categorize skills from existing competency silos 1. Outline scope statement and goals/ objectives • 2. Identify setting (Acute Care selected) 3. Identify Roles in Acute Care and map EU-US roles 5. Map skills to professional roles (Competency Matrix) Role to Skill Map Once we classified Role and Skills we were able to match one to the other

  28. Competency AnalysisStep 5: Map Skills to Roles Competencies for Direct Patient Care, Clinical, Intermediate Roles for Direct Patient Care, Clinical, Intermediate For a complete listing of the mapping of the Direct Patient Care, Clinical, Intermediate, Competencies please review the excel spreadsheet listed on our wiki page: http://wiki.siframework.org/Workforce+Development+Work+Group Sample Mapping
