To add up your score, please give yourself one point for each response in column 1, 2 points for each in column 2, and so on.

Interpretation of your results:

5: You have earned a perfect score! Not only are you certain about your organization's staff skill level, but you have real-time data to prove it. You can take your staff to new levels of professional practice because the basics are covered! Congratulations!

6-10: Great job! You are well on your way to developing a culture and standards at the bedside by which you can be brilliant at the basics and become world class! However, there is still work to be done for all staff to function at optimal professional levels.

11-15: Well, perhaps you haven't yet measured or observed practice in your facility. It's time to get current data and find out what's up, so that patient safety and clinical outcomes can improve. (If your outcomes are already stellar, we suspect someone is already expertly performing and evaluating these behaviors and processes.)

15 and above: Ulp. If your outcomes in terms of patient, staff, and provider satisfaction and clinical outcomes have been fantastic, we suspect the five processes listed above are routine for your staff. However, if your outcomes are less than excellent, resolve to begin 2015 with an assessment of professional behaviors to get real-time data and begin to shore up essential practices.
