The CMS Requirements of Participation (RoP) require long-term care facilities to document staff competency. Healthcare Academy’s eCompetencies® has been developed by industry thought leaders using evidence-based practices. It replaces paper-based systems and provides competency assessment, skills remediation, and documentation in one online system. HCA can help efficiently identify, assess, correct, and document a wide range of skills required for care teams to demonstrate competency under F-Tag 726 Competent Nursing Staff (483.35 Nursing Services).
eCompetencies® can be used in a variety of ways (as part of skills fairs, at the bedside, during orientation and as a tool for corrective action) using a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop PC to rapidly assess and document competency requirements in real-time.
