Section 3: Assessment Activity
3 credits per hour
Rationale and Target Audience:
This tool is an opportunity for you to seek feedback on your Annual Performance Review from peers, colleagues or other health professionals. The feedback may help identify future learning and / or continuous improvement opportunities.
| Guideline | Action | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Identify an area of your practice you would like to improve | Choose an area of your annual performance review to assess. | I would like to:
|
| 2 | Identify performance question(s) | Identify specific performance question(s) you have about this area of your practice (e.g. clear communication with patients, maintaining up-to-date charts, low infection rates in post-op patients etc.). | My specific question(s) is/are:
|
| 3 | Select one to three professional standards or criteria | Select one to three criteria/standards to compare your performance against (e.g., hospital guidelines, teamwork expectations, patient metrics, provincial performance data, etc.) | I will compare how I currently perform against:
|
| 4 | Assess your performance | Observations of your performance can be conducted by trusted peer(s) (based specifically on the performance chosen to be observed). | The data sources that I will use to learn more about my current performance:
|
| 5 | Compare your current performance with the standards | Review and analyze the data you collected about your performance in step #4 and compare it to the guidelines selected in step #3. This will help you identify gaps and learning opportunities. | Gaps noted in current performance vs. existing standards include:
|
| 6 | Discuss your findings with trusted peer(s) | Share and discuss your findings with trusted colleagues, peers, or mentors to get input and feedback on the gaps/opportunities you identified and plan for next steps. | I will collect input and review feedback from/with:
|
| 7 | Identify the next steps for practice improvement | Use the data and feedback you collected on your performance to identify the actions you will take to close the gap between your current performance (guideline #4) and your desired performance (guideline #5) (e.g. additional learning, modifications to a practice process etc.). | Self-assessment of my performance identified these possible improvement actions:
|
| 8 | Document this process and the outcomes in your MAINPORT ePortfolio | Time spent on steps 1 through 7 can be claimed under Section 3: Annual Performance Review. | I spent 2 hours reviewing the feedback received from my colleague, and I created a plan of action for improvement. I will claim this activity in my MAINPORT account under Section 3: Annual Performance Review |
