organization identified the influence of their competitors in their business improvement
while on the school and hospitals; they recognized the improvement on the knowledge,
skills, and understanding.
Background of the Study and Problem StatementFor most of the nurses, the rest of the healthcare providers and healthcare
leaders, the improvement is the very common word in the nature of their work. Thefocus on the competencies of the people is becoming the main strategy of the health
care society to facilitate the aid and promotion for health (McAda, 2003). Different
approaches are being given to the nurses to improve their skills and knowledge in terms
of facilitating the patients. Therefore, as the main issue on the research study, what is
the effectiveness of the competency mapping when it is applied in the area of
healthcare?
Research Objectives
The objectives of the study are divided into three interesting part that are all
cantered on healthcare. First is to learn effectiveness of the competency mapping in the

Literature ReviewCompetency mapping can be done through a comprehensive training programs,
skill development, and meeting the target. Because of the rapid changes in thehealthcare such as the development of the diseases, changes in the system and so on,
the need for the identification of the competencies became the priority of the healthcare
leaders. Competency mapping is addressed as a systematic method that is applied in
the healthcare settings to determine the core actions and emergency readiness of the
providers, most especially the nurses who are the first attendants for the patients. The
effectiveness of the competency mapping reflects everyday in the working procedure of the
nurses and can be formulated through the initiative of the nurses to provide the concept on their
work (McAda, 2003). The healthcare leaders believe that through the competent nursing care,
the people can maintain and enhance the knowledge skills, attitudes, and their judgment in the
healthcare procedure. It actually became part of the guideline for the nursing school to improve
the curriculum and produce qualified nurses. Therefore, the idea of competency became an
essential element of a registered nurse and considered as one aspect to deliver the quality of
health (Jitlakoat, 2005; Healthcare Executive, 2006). In this issue, the healthcare executives
have an increasing interest in the competency based development. Even the leaders are also
part of the continuous renewal of training
and development. Its effectiveness reflects on the decision making of the leaders and
the initiative of the competency is focus on the career aspirations (HealthcareExecutive, 2006).
MethodologyThe applied methodology in the study is through the use of the questionnaires.
The participants are nurses and patients. The questionnaires are related mostly on the
skills of the nurses, their actions in facilitating the medications and treatments, and the
outcome of their care. The age, gender, position of the nurses, and status of living of the
patients are also indentified for it might take an effect on the analysis of the study.Analysis
Based on the provided method, the nurses answered that the use of the
competency mapping in their training enhanced their ability in providing care. Most of the nurses agreed
that through the mapping, the nurses recognized the other important factors that might effect on the medication of
their patients. On the other hand, there is an inaccurate answer coming from the patient because of the one particular

reason in which most of the participants are irregular patients. However, they believe that there are improvements on
how the nurses facilitate their health and their continuous promotion to establish the idea towards health.
ConclusionCompetency does not mean expert there exist various levels of competence but
each of these has a minimum acceptable level or standard. Beginners are rarely expert,
but they can be competent. They perform a wide range of nursing skill and speed in
time. Competencies needs result, it also needs strategies.
