Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse and interpret information received
  • Correlate results of health assessment with case history
  • Recognise and identify signs and symptoms of condition in the client as pre-requisites for treatment/care
  • Assess information gathered and assign priorities in consultation with the client using the knowledge and experience and theoretical principles applied by the practitioner
  • Gather, record and organise information in a way which can be interpreted readily by other professionals
  • Analyse patterns and differentiate by assessing signs and symptoms and given priority for treatment
  • Identify condition according to stage and related implications (eg empty/full) by applying the eight principles of diagnosis
  • Use professional judgement to draw sound conclusions and prognosis from the data collected
  • Ensure assessment signs and symptoms are elicited in a thorough and objective manner to avoid premature conclusions on the treatment plan
  • Systematically monitor client progress in order to confirm the clinical impression
  • Effectively combine history and clinical data to obtain a differential assessment and prognosis
       
Element: Inform the client
  • Discuss the rationale of the treatment assessment plan/prognosis with the client
  • Respond to client enquiries using language the client understands
  • Discuss referral and collaborative options with the client if necessary
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate this competency unit:

The individual being assessed must provide evidence of specified essential knowledge as well as skills

Observation of performance in the workplace or a simulated workplace (defined as a supervised clinic) is essential for assessment of this unit

Consistency of performance should be demonstrated over the required range of situations relevant to the workplace

Assessment may contain both theoretical and practical components and examples covering a range of clinical situations

Where, for reasons of safety, space, or access to equipment and resources, assessment takes place away from the workplace, the assessment environment should represent workplace conditions as closely as possible

Assessment of sole practitioners must include a range of clinical situations and different client groups covering at minimum, age, culture and gender

Assessment of sole practitioners must consider their unique workplace context, including:

interaction with others in the broader professional community as part of the sole practitioner's workplace

scope of practice as detailed in the qualification and component competency units

holistic/integrated assessment including:

working within the practice framework

performing a health assessment

assessing the client

planning treatment

providing treatment

Context of and specific resources for assessment:

A fully stocked and equipped clinic or simulated clinic environment

Relevant texts or medical manuals

Relevant paper-based assessment instruments

Appropriate assessment environment

Method of assessment

Observation in the workplace

Written assignments/projects (including written assignments with practical demonstration) or questioning should be used to assess knowledge

Diagnosis from assessment or simulated assessment notes

Case study and scenario as a basis for discussion of diagnostic technique

Clinical skills involving direct client care are to be assessed initially in a simulated clinical setting (laboratory). If successful, a second assessment is to be conducted during workplace application under direct supervision

Access and equity considerations:

All workers in the health industry should be aware of access and equity issues in relation to their own area of work

All workers should develop their ability to work in a culturally diverse environment

In recognition of particular health issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, workers should be aware of cultural, historical and current issues impacting on health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Assessors and trainers must take into account relevant access and equity issues, in particular relating to factors impacting on health of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients and communities

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Essential knowledge:

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively do the task outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage the task and manage contingencies in the context of the identified work role

This includes knowledge of:

Anatomy and physiology of the body systems

Data analysis techniques

Disease process

Knowledge and understanding of types of further investigation available

Referral process

Relevant testing and assessment options and procedures

Signs and symptoms of condition

The contribution of the different schools of thought and historical theories of clinical practice

The eight principles of differentiation (ba gang bian zheng)

The four methods of diagnosis (si zhen)

The methods of differentiation which further refine aetiology and pathology of disease

The pattern differentiation in the formulation of treatment principles

Essential skills:

It is critical that the candidate demonstrate the ability to effectively do the task outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage the task and manage contingencies in the context of the identified work role

This includes the ability to:

Apply differential assessment

Communicate with people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds

Demonstrate differential diagnostic skills

Establish urgency for treatment required

Interpret investigative findings

Prioritise presenting conditions

Respond effectively to client feedback and/or complaints

Write referrals, appraisal letters for insurance companies and other documentation

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Signs and symptoms of condition may include:

Biological phenomena

Emotional phenomena

Psychological phenomena

Social phenomena

Spiritual phenomena

Test or examination results

Sensations

Onset

Duration

Location

Causation

Direction of chief complaint

Ameliorating and aggravating factors

Symptom qualities (intensity, severity, nature of complaint)

Functional and pathological disturbances

Patterns may refer to:

Energetic patterns

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
