How Infection Prevention & Control works in SkillScorer
Score
Each clinician in a ward is scored on the Infection Prevention & Control 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 Infection Prevention & Control skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's ward.
Infection Prevention & Control scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Infection Prevention & Control scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Infection Prevention & Control scorecard covers 12 skills: Surveillance and Data Analysis, Outbreak Investigation, Hand Hygiene Auditing, Standard and Transmission-Based Precautions, Cleaning and Environmental Controls, Sterilisation and Reprocessing Oversight, Policy Development, Staff Education, Antimicrobial Stewardship Support, Communication During Incidents, Regulatory and Accreditation Knowledge and Collaboration. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are clinicians scored in Infection Prevention & Control?
Every clinician is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one ward and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Infection Prevention & Control?
Infection Prevention & Control starts with these levels (called “Band” in the app): Graduate, Infection Control Practitioner, Senior Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Consultant and Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Infection Prevention & Control skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In healthcare the app talks about clinicians, wards and senior clinicians, and you can change any of those words too.
