How Health Information Management works in SkillScorer
Score
Each clinician in a ward is scored on the Health Information Management skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank clinicians, compare two side by side, or compare your wards against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Health Information Management skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's ward.
