How Podiatry works in SkillScorer
Score
Each clinician in a ward is scored on the Podiatry 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 Podiatry skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's ward.
Podiatry scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Podiatry scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Podiatry scorecard covers 12 skills: Foot and Lower Limb Assessment, Nail and Skin Care, Wound Management, Diabetic Foot Care, Biomechanical Assessment, Orthoses Prescription, Sports Podiatry, Infection Control and Sterilisation, Patient Education, Clinical Documentation, Referral and Collaboration and Clinic Efficiency. 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 Podiatry?
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 Podiatry?
Podiatry starts with these levels (called “Band” in the app): Student, Graduate Podiatrist, Podiatrist, Senior Podiatrist, Principal and Clinic Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Podiatry 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.
