I understand the idea behind the form and the intent. However, this is an added burden to providers already running on skeleton crews, dealing with high rates of attrition (low pay and a pandemic), and over-inundated with daily paperwork as it is. We are a small provider and spend many hours providing direct care to the individuals we serve. In all honesty, I do not think that the checklist is a true indicator of competencies. It is another form that has to be completed... Do you want excellent individual care or a boat load of paperwork to document and check boxes? All these forms do is take time away from the individuals that we service. Agencies should be hiring qualified candidates to provide services and providing them with the orientation trainings, required yearly trainings, and supplemental trainings to keep them up-to-date, abreast of changes, and competent. Instead of adding to all of the task providers have to complete, how about revising what is already in place to achieve the goal behind the competency checklist. Please remember this is one of four competency checklist that providers may have to complete for each employee (full-time, part-time, or PRN). I beg that you revisit this requirement and come with an alternative (electronic, not another form(s)) or create a team composed of providers to offer an alternative measure. Please don't continue to bog providers down in an array of paperwork. Individual care, safety, quality of life, growth, and progress are what are important and paperwork should be a tool used to capture the wonderful work that providers do; not make it harder for us to do those things. I do hope and pray that this forum is not for looks and that the comments that are left here are read and truly taken into consideration.
