Decision Critical, Inc. Set to Revolutionize Competency Management; State-of-the-Art Critical Check Lists Provides Single Repository for All Staff Competencies.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Decision Critical, Inc. ("Decision Critical") today unveiled Critical Check Lists(TM), a solution aimed at the management and monitoring of staff competencies. This state-of-the-art, web-based competency management solution is the first of its kind and provides healthcare organizations with a single, real-time repository for all professional staff competencies. Critical Check Lists were designed for mobility. Competence can now be evaluated at the point of care, putting an end to the cumbersome costly skills fair used by most healthcare organizations. Critical Check Lists seamlessly interface with Decision Critical's Enterprise Learning Management System or can be implemented as a stand-alone solution.

The Critical Check Lists solution is unique in that it provides an automated and organized environment replacing today's existing paper-based processes with customizable skills check lists tailored to each organization's standards and procedures. This solution assures the evaluation of every step involved in demonstrating mastery of each competency. The Critical Check Lists solution allows for personal competency plans which include skills, competencies, licenses and certifications, as well as customizable reporting.

"No industry is more rife with competency-related risk than healthcare," says Kenneth W. Dion, RN, President and CEO of Decision Critical. "With daily changes in licensing and certification requirements, Critical Check Lists will revolutionize the way managers and educators manage competencies and also provide a key component against costly mistakes in an organization's overall risk management program."

This newest solution is a part of the ongoing strategy of Decision Critical to provide flexible, scalable and easily accessible competency management solutions designed to integrate easily into any existing IT environment.
