Dear Colleagues;
In this every changing world of managed care another bit of information is
coming to the forefront requiring us to prove our ability to provide
“quality care”. I do not wish to reinvent the wheel and am asking what
experience others may have in the arena of the “Age-Specific Competency
Assessment”.
Here at ACH we have the task of answering 4 “general competency statements”
with respect to each of the following age groups; neonatal, infant, toddler,
pre-school, school age, adolescent and adult (includes geriatric).
Our questions are:
1) Demonstrates general knowledge of growth and development for
specific age groups including effects of the healthcare experience.
2) Recognizes and uses specific age/developmental information in
delivery of actual care.
3) Possesses skills and knowledge to assist patients in activities
of daily living, as appropriate.
4) Interacts with patients/families using age/developmental
communication skills that take into consideration special developmental
needs.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick K. McNally, CPO
Chief, Orthotics & Prosthetics
Arkansas Children’s Hospital
