Akin to the concept of Maturity Index which apply to organizations and teams.

Individual Competency Index

16

Overlapping, similar indicators are used to define

different competencies1

Ambiguous, Muddled, Inconsistent (often issue in

compound or aggregate definitions) or Fail to set

standards2

Unsupported, “Not "owned” or managed3

Not dynamic4

Challenges

Outcomes not actions; outcomes are products of good competencies,

not clear definitions of the competencies themselves.

Work product from NLM BDSI Meeting May 2018

Addressing the “Dynamic-static” challenge

18Key Questions

Are there target roles specific to cancer centers we

need to consider?

Are there unique learners specific to the cancer

center ecosystem?

What are the most critical competencies for each of

those?

How do we effectively collate best practices across

the cancer centers?

How can we best leverage these efforts?
