Introduction[edit | edit source]
Competency Frameworks[edit | edit source]
Competency frameworks, which comprise organized statements that communicate the expected or aspired performance of a particular workforce, can be valuable resources in addressing workforce challenges in many settings. These challenges generally relate to a shortfall of workers, deficiencies in quality of care, and a mismatch between workforce capabilities and population needs. Competency frameworks can help address these challenges at the individual, institutional, service and system level. Rehabilitation Competency Frameworks define the core values and beliefs shared by the rehabilitation workforce, and encompasses the competencies, behaviours, knowledge and skills required to perform the range of activities and tasks involved in rehabilitation practice and service delivery.
- Regulatory or accreditation bodies use competency frameworks to communicate the standards expected of a profession. When applied to pre-and post-service education and enforced through audits and other mechanisms, they form a integral component of quality assurance.
- Education institutions use competency frameworks for articulating the outcomes of their courses. They can be used to shape the learning outcomes of courses, and to ensure that the knowledge and skills taught by the institution are aligned with population needs.
- Services use competency frameworks in workforce planning and human resource management. In the context of planning, they enable services to successfully align their staff competencies and activities with population needs and service objectives and help to identify knowledge and skill gaps and performance deficiencies. In the context of human resource management, competency frameworks define performance excellence and provide a benchmark against which workers are assessed. They are also integral to establishing individual and service-wide development priorities.
- Ministries of health can apply competency frameworks in workforce evaluation and planning, such as in conduct competency gap analyses.
WHO Rehabilitation Competency Frameworks[edit | edit source]
The Rehabilitation Competency Framework is a model that communicates the expected or aspired performance of the rehabilitation workforce across different countries and settings to enable quality care and service delivery.
The Rehabilitation Competency Framework comprises of five domains centered around core values and beliefs which sit at the heart of the framework. This core help shape the behavior of a rehab worker and their performance of tasks across all the RCF domains.
The four core values are;
- Compassion and empathy
- Sensitivity & respect for diversity
- Dignity & human rights
- Self-determination.
The four core beliefs are that rehab should be;
- Person centred,
- Collaborative,
- Available to anyone who needs it and
- Functioning is central to health.
The Five Domains are:
- Practice
- Professionalism
- Learning and Development
- Management and Leadership
- Research
The domains collectively capture how the rehabilitation workforce behave in order to perform effectively (competencies), and what they do (activities). Competencies are broken down into behaviours; and activities into tasks. Each is described across four levels of proficiency. Each domain also describes the knowledge and skills that underpin the activities and competencies. These include core knowledge and skills, as well as those that are specific to an activity. The components of the RCF along with the competencies, activities and tasks are explored in detail within the framework document.

Models of Care[edit | edit source]
Models of Care often have their origins in care management for chronic conditions. These models share many components because they seek to address the multiple determinants of health that are common across conditions. The Chronic Care Model, is an organizational approach to caring for people with chronic disease in a primary care setting, provides an excellent framework to understand the rationale for the common components across models of care. The system is population-based and creates practical, supportive, evidence-based interactions between an informed, activated patient and a prepared, proactive practice team.
