A formal programme of Inter-Rater Reliability testing for all acuity-rating departments is an essential component of the successful administration of the TrendCare System to ensure data integrity remains at a high level. It is recommended that an IRR workshop be completed within the first three months after implementation, with follow up workshops as required.
This full day workshop will ensure:
- Improved understanding of the theory and concepts of the TrendCare Acuity Tool
- Key personnel understand the objectives and importance of Inter-rater Reliability Testing to ensure the accuracy of individual nurse raters and identify staff knowledge deficits in the use of the TrendCare acuity tool.
- Key personnel are able to verify data to facilitate patient classification and acuity information to be used to develop and re-engineer rosters, achieve and maintain staffing efficiency, and assist with the costing of patient
This workshop is recommended for:
- All new sites, between the second or third month post-implementation of TrendCare*
- Any site requiring re-training due to turnover of key personnel
- Any site whose IRR Testing has not been completed within the previous 12 months
*Essential for successful implementation of new sites and maintenance of accurate data
