Competency frameworks are an increasingly popular clinical governance, performance management, and professional development tool in health care. However, to date there is a dearth of information relating to competencies for allied health professionals (AHPs) working in remote and rural environments. This project aimed to develop a competency framework for senior level AHPs across a core of allied health professions in remote and rural Western Australia. The framework was designed to be used by individual AHPs to identify areas of professional proficiency and weakness, by staff managing senior AHPs when undertaking performance development processes, and by an organisation to identify common areas of need among disciplines that can be addressed through targeted support strategies.
能力框架在医疗保健领域正日益成为一种流行的临床治理、绩效管理和专业发展工具。然而，迄今为止，关于在偏远和农村地区工作的专职医疗人员（AHP）的能力信息匮乏。该项目旨在为西澳大利亚偏远和农村地区的核心专职医疗专业领域的高级AHP制定一个能力框架。该框架旨在供个体AHP用于识别专业熟练和薄弱领域，供在进行绩效发展流程时管理高级AHP的工作人员使用，以及供组织用于识别各学科之间可通过有针对性的支持策略解决的共同需求领域。
