Competency evaluators

We only have clinical educators doing training for glucose, occult blood, and waived pregnancy.
We assess them as "superusers" each year, as well as have them complete the same annual competency that everyone else completes (written test and QC samples).  Assessing them as SuperUsers means observing their training style to assure they are covering all points, and assuring that they complete the paperwork appropriately, etc.

We often have nurses doing competency assessment for moderately complex...but they must have at least two years experience with the method to qualify and they do go through SuperUser assessment as well as the same competency assessment that everyone else goes through since they perform patient testing.

We also have our own POC educator MT who does moderately complex assessments for those units that do not have qualified superusers.

We do similar to Pam, we have SuperUsers on the units and satellite sites that do the main comps for mod and waived.  The mod complex SU have to have a Bachelors (either Nursing or Respiratory) with the 2 year experience.  The waived are usually MA's for the satellites and NA or RNs for inpatients.  We (POCT) do a SuperUser course atleast once a year for all of them to make sure they are aware of any changes and to make sure they hit all the points when they are signing off the operators.  Pre covid we held the class at the hospital, now it's more on demand since there is a limit of people in a room still.

We have Nursing Professional Development mentors aka clinical educators who are signed off by POCT for both competency and their Delegation.  Only Bachelors with the 2 year experience do mod oversight, otherwise that floor/department falls to POCT until the requirement is met.  

We assess their testing ability and basically have it as if they are teaching us a training or competency as their demonstration to ensure their competence and that they are hitting all the points with their staff for competency.  Delegation is once but competency is yearly.

We have annual super user training for our waived testing.

Do the superusers do all six required parts of each competency for non waived testing and how is this tracked/documented for PT, blind samples, observation of maintenance, results review and problem solving?  I have clinical educators doing the direct observation for testing but I am having difficulty keeping track of all the other items with the number of staff involved.

For our non-waived, we (POC technical consultants) schedule times for recertification classes and cover all elements.
