Abstract:
Documentation of competency as validation of nursing skill and knowledge is essential for safe patient care. In efforts to leverage technology and maximize mobile resources, a process for electronic competency validation was developed. Utilization of quick response (QR) codes allows for easy application and efficient tracking. Results include cost savings, improved time spent on filing, and overall satisfaction. This is a simple and sustainable process for competency documentation that can translate across diverse professional development settings.
