How Practice Nursing works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a clinic is scored on the Practice Nursing skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your clinics 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 Practice Nursing skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's clinic.
Practice Nursing scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Practice Nursing scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Practice Nursing scorecard covers 10 skills: Triage and Initial Patient Assessment, Immunisation Administration and Cold Chain, Wound Assessment and Dressing, Cervical Screening, Health Checks and Screening Programs, Chronic Disease Monitoring and Education, Point-of-Care Testing and Specimen Collection, Medical Emergency Response, Infection Prevention and Sterilisation, Patient Education and Health Coaching and Documentation and Teamwork with GPs. 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 team members scored in Practice Nursing?
Every team member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one clinic 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 Practice Nursing?
Practice Nursing starts with these levels (called “Career Stage” in the app): Enrolled Nurse, Registered Nurse, Senior Practice Nurse, Nurse Coordinator and Nurse Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Practice Nursing skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In medical practices the app talks about team members, clinics and senior clinicians, and you can change any of those words too.
