NI competencies used at Providence Health & Services, Oregon - initial focus in-patient, surgery & ED nurses. FYI, this is organized using Benner's levels of skill acquisition, a framework that is used at the health system for nursing position descriptions, performance appraisals, etc. For each 'general' competency, work setting-specific behavioral evidence, systems and structures for acquiring the competency, and competency validation/evaluation have been identified. This application of Benner's levels is specific to informatics, so an expert clinician might be an informatics novice. The information literacy competencies are not yet included; the work group reconvenes tomorrow (10/22) and it's likely they'll be added.
