THE CC-TNA TOOL • • • • Simple and quick to complete Effectively measures competencies for the provision of chronic care Includes sufficient items to cover key core competencies Contains items that are easy to read, interpret and understand

WHAT IS INVOLVED?

• • • Clinicians complete an on-line survey (takes about 15 mins) De-identified data across organisations is analysed [by whom?] to identify common training needs within the area A report about the findings and future training recommendations is prepared [by whom?] and distributed to participating organisations

PRIVACY • • Only de-identified survey data will be presented to organisations, or in reports or presentations In a case where only a few clinicians participate, identifying information such as clinical discipline is also removed before returning data to an organisation

POTENTIAL USES FOR THE CC-TNA DATA • • • Clinicians – can identify personal training needs Organisations – can identify team training needs Regions – can identify common training needs across organisations to inform regional or sub regional workforce development planning
