Intermountain Healthcare's ER Modules and Skills Assessment Form is an important tool for nursing professionals. It can be an essential asset to help assess a nurse's knowledge, skills, and abilities in areas such as patient triage, medical assessment, patient care, and emergency management. The modules provide a comprehensive evaluation to properly assess the competency of nursing personnel. They are easy to understand and evaluate without imposing too much stress or anxiety on the respondent. The assessment form includes a host of topics relevant to the ER setting, such as diagnostic tools, treatments, patient education, emergency management, and risk management. The goal of the program is to encourage nurses to stay knowledgeable and current in matters related to their profession. It serves as a platform to measure both theoretical and practical skills to evaluate a staff's clinical competencies.
Additionally, by participating in the competency assessment program, nurses can accumulate Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and demonstrate their commitment to nursing excellence. With this tool, nurses can remain sharp, up-to-date, and well-informed about the many dynamics of the emergency room setting.
