Complimentary Webinar - Building Competencies for Patient Access & Accounts Staff

The following Questions & Answers are from the webinars held on February 20th & 22nd. As other questions are recieved, they will be added to this page.

How do competencies relate to job descriptions?

Competencies can and should be an integral part of the job description.Tthe action oriented performance objectives associated with each competency should be included in the job description and part of the performance evaluation process. In addition, by establishing assessment and measurement tools that monitor ongoing department and individual performance a "just in time" rather than once per year forum for constructive feedback is created.

We expect so much of our front-line staff, especially our patient access staff, yet they are still considered entry level and paid accordingly. Do you have any suggestions on how creating competencies might help justify increasing their hourly wage?

The first step in creating a competency based environment is to understand your organization’s goals and objectives as they relate to customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, process improvement, and financial performance. Your department objectives need to in line with the organization’s objectives. And remember, your staff competencies are tied to the organization and department objectives. Your action oriented performance objectives are quantifiable and measurable and provide you with a framework for determining the value of your competent front-line staff. This is quantifiable information you can provide to administration and human resources as part of the wage review process.
