Mastering Measurable Competency Assessments: Protecting Patients and Reducing Risk
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at 11 a.m. PT
Competency assessments are one of the most important tools in nearly every healthcare setting. But, too often, they are subjective and not aligned with required job duties. The real question compliance leaders are asking is: How do we move beyond "checking a box", and test if our staff are truly competent in a way that’s measurable, defensible, and tied to patient safety?
In this live webinar, MedTrainer's VP of Compliance, Brian Williams, MHA, and Compliance Clinical Specialist, Yassy Ruiz, MSN, RN, will share how to build high-integrity assessments that bridge the gap between clinical theory and bedside reality. You’ll learn how to move beyond generic evaluations and build a standardized, measurable approach that protects patients, strengthens compliance programs, and reduces risk before it becomes costly.
You will walk away with:
- Proven methodologies for structuring self-assessments and clinical reviews that move beyond "check-the-box" habits.
- An understanding of what CMS and accreditors look for to verify staff competency during high-stakes surveys.
- Practical strategies to automate delivery and centralize tracking, reducing administrative burden without sacrificing data integrity.
