Unit of Competency TLIX5044 - Organise health support operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to organise health support operations in a field deployment context in support of operations, in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures. This unit is applicable to logistics personnel responsible for organising and managing the delivery of health support in a field deployment context.People who undertake this unit will usually be a clinician or a health care provider. This role requires management and leadership skills.Health elements may be comprised of a range of health capability from different disciplines (such as dental, pathology, surgical), which, when brought together, form a comprehensive health support organisation. The composition of this health support organisation will be guided by the type and scale of operation. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

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.
