The Provincial Interprofessional Stroke Core Competency Framework was developed in 2016. In 2022, the framework was reviewed and updates were made to align with current stroke best practices.
The framework was rebranded to the Stroke Core Competency Framework (SCCF) for healthcare providers working in Ontario and endorsed by the Stroke Networks of Ontario.
Purpose
The SCCF is intended to provide healthcare providers with an accessible, comprehensive self-assessment tool that will help identify specific learning objectives to support stroke best practice implementation. It can be used by both new and experienced healthcare providers working across the continuum of stroke care.
How to use the Stroke Core Competency Framework
1) Rate yourself on your level of expertise using Benner Stages of Clinical Competence. 2) Identify areas for improvement and develop professional learning plans. 3) Seek professional development opportunities to fulfill professional learning plans. 4) Leadership may use learning plans to support professional development reviews. 5) Leadership may collate results to inform organizational priorities for stroke care that can be integrated into strategic planning.
NOTE: Each of the following forms are fillable. First download the form to your computer, enter your self assessment and save for your own records.
