In a recent blog post, Bryan Warren, Manger of Healthcare Solutions at Select International, notes that when creating a competency model, it can be easy to get wrapped up in over-sized web of information. In order to keep a model concise and valuable, Warren notes:
– Be leery of “automated” programs that spit out competencies
– Look to the “expert” model
– Define positive and negative behaviors for each competency
– Competencies should build on each other and when different levels have the same competency – they are differentiated by the behaviors.
– Start with the end in mind. Don’t develop competencies in isolation – the development should happen with the end in mind – a selection system, a development program and performance management.
– Less is more
Having a complete and in-depth model will create a better platform for your hospital’s goals, vision and mission.
