I have been tasked with writing our team's annual competency and would welcome some ideas and feedback from this group. I have it broken down into 3 areas--performance,participation and professional growth. Performance meaning 1) a minimum of 20 successful insertions in the past year and a success record of not less than 80%;2) 1-2 insertions observed by one of our "proficient" inserters--essentially me or our CNS. Participation meaning attending 75% of our monthly meetings. Professional growth meaning a minimum of CEU's per year and/or an educational presentation at one of the meetings and/or writing an article for our hospital's monthly paper. What I aspire to acheive is a higher degree of professionalism within the group of PICC'ers, a group which unfortunately was essentially a 'picc-stick-and-run' mess two years ago.
