Competency assessment is critical for a myriad of disciplines, including medicine, law, education, and nursing. Many nurse managers and educators are responsible for nursing competency assessment, and assessment results are often used for annual reviews, promotions, and satisfying accrediting agencies' requirements. Credentialing bodies continually seek methods to measure and document the continuing competence of licensees or certificants. Many methods and frameworks for continued competency assessment exist. The portfolio process is one method to validate personal and professional accomplishments in an interactive, multidimensional manner. This article illustrates how portfolios can be used to assess competence. One specialty nursing certification board's process of creating an evidence-based portfolio for recertification or reactivation of a credential is used as an example. The theoretical background, development process, implementation, and future implications may serve as a template for other organizations in developing their own portfolio models.
能力评估对于包括医学、法律、教育和护理在内的众多学科至关重要。许多护士长和教育工作者负责护理能力评估，评估结果通常用于年度考核、晋升以及满足认证机构的要求。认证机构不断寻求方法来衡量和记录持证人或证书获得者的持续能力。存在许多持续能力评估的方法和框架。档案袋法是一种以互动、多维度的方式验证个人和专业成就的方法。本文阐述了如何使用档案袋来评估能力。以一个专业护理认证委员会为重新认证或恢复证书创建基于证据的档案袋的过程为例。其理论背景、开发过程、实施情况和未来影响可为其他组织开发自己的档案袋模型提供模板。
