Preceptor Confidence in Orientation Competency Assessment and Evaluation.

Abstract

The implementation of a modified, electronic competency form utilizing the Donna Wright Ultimate Guide to Competency Assessment in Healthcare (2021) framework aimed to define competency expectations and improve preceptor confidence. As a result, preceptors reported an increase in competency evaluation confidence ([Mdn 30], [Mdn 35], p < .0001). Utilizing an evidence-based framework for initial competency assessment led to improvements in knowledge, competence, and confidence at a single pediatric organization.
