Clinical Competence Assessment Tools
Clinical competence assessment tools are standardized methods used to evaluate healthcare professionals’ skills, knowledge, and behavior in real or simulated clinical settings. They ensure practitioners effectively perform tasks, make sound decisions, and communicate well with patients. These tools may include checklists, rating scales, or direct observations, providing objective feedback on competencies essential for safe and effective patient care. They help identify areas for improvement, guide training, and ensure high standards in healthcare practice.
