“…Studies of inter-professional teams have stressed the importance of clear definition of each team-member’s role (44) and sharing tasks and responsibilities between professionals (45), along with each professional having tasks that allow them to practice at the “top of their license.” We found that our team approach fostered a high level of inter-professional communication, e.g. the pharmacists were frequently contacting providers regarding patients being unsure of recent medication changes, upcoming lab testing or timing of next appointment.…”

Objective Gout patient self-management knowledge and adherence to treatment regimens are poor. Our objective was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a multidisciplinary team-based pilot program for the education and monitoring of gout patients. Methods Subjects completed a Gout Self-Management Knowledge Exam, along with gout flare history and compliance questionnaires, at enrollment and at 6 and 12 months. Each exam was followed by a nursing educational intervention via a structured gout curriculum. Structured monthly follow-up calls from pharmacists emphasized adherence to management programs. Primary outcomes were subject and provider program evaluation questionnaires at 6 and 12 months, program retention rate and success in reaching patients via monthly calls. Results 40/45 subjects remained in the study at 12 months. At 12 months, on a scale of 1 (most) to 5 (least), ratings of 3 or better were given by 84.6% of subjects evaluating the usefulness of the overall program in understanding and managing their gout, 81.0% of subjects evaluating the helpfulness of the nursing education program and 50.0% of subjects evaluating the helpfulness of the calls from the pharmacists. Knowledge Exam questions that were most frequently answered incorrectly on repeat testing concerned bridge therapy, the possibility of being flare-free, and the genetic component of gout. Conclusion Our multidisciplinary program of gout patient education and monitoring demonstrates feasibility and acceptability. We identified variability in patient preference for components of the program and persistent patient knowledge gaps.

“…A training needs assessment for interprofessional skills done in the context of Swiss primary health care showed similar resultsinterviewees, who were an assortment of health professionals, prioritized skills focusing on intra-team relationships and patient-provider interactions/service delivery. 9 During the consultative meeting to validate the TNA results with the CHD 4A, Planning and Organizing were an area for improvement based on previous assessments within the office. This may have been due to high expectations for competency levels based on organizational standards and the inclusion of the "introduction of new methods of planning, evaluating and monitoring" as a criterion for high competency levels.…”

Objective. To assess the competency levels of the technical staff of the Center for Health Development Calabarzon (CHD 4A) to inform the development of a human resource management plan.Methods. A cross-sectional assessment design to determine the CHD 4A technical staff's competency level was utilized. The team from the College of Public Health, University of the Philippines Manila invited all the CHD 4A technical staff to complete a self-assessment using the Learning and Development Needs Assessment Tool (LDNA) (version 3-45), rating their perceived competency and the level of importance to their functions on core and functional competencies stipulated in the Department of Health Compendium of Competency Standards. Gaps were identified by comparing perceived competency levels with a predetermined standard for each agency's salary grade or position.Results. All 67 technical staff took part in the assessment. Entry- and senior-level professionals had minimal deviations from predetermined standards, with gaps in quality service focus and teamwork for the former and planning and political savvy for the latter. In contrast, mid-career professionals had larger gaps in magnitude and number than entry and senior-level staff – the largest being on results orientation – reflective of newly-promoted staff's adjustment period. Of note, these gaps were based on the prevailing competency standards in force at the time of assessment in 2015. Findings may need to be revisited when the agency updates the core and functional competency standards.Conclusion. The participants perceived core and functional competencies as important, with the level of perceived importance increasing as the salary bracket increases. Core competency gaps were widest in integrity and quality service focus. Simultaneously, results orientation, and planning and organizing were the functional competencies that registered the widest gap and prioritized. Training needs assessments should be conducted in times of change to ensure an organization's training programs' relevance and to develop peak-level employee performance.
