Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Systems Research
  • Professional Competency Development
  • Primary Care Medicine

Background:

  • A robust primary care system is essential for high-quality healthcare delivery.
  • Current primary care faces challenges, necessitating professionals with practice-aligned competencies.
  • A unified, transdisciplinary competency framework for all primary care professionals is currently unavailable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a generic transdisciplinary competency framework for all primary care professionals.
  • To identify professional activities that form the basis of the competency framework.
  • To bridge the gap between competency frameworks and clinical practice using Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research design encompassing three phases: scoping review, ethnographic study, and validation study.
  • Data triangulation through literature review, interviews, focus groups, observations, and expert consultations.
  • Data collection from primary care professionals, experts, patients, and informal caregivers in Flanders, Belgium.

Main Results:

  • Development of a transdisciplinary competency framework is underway.
  • Identification of key professional activities for primary care practitioners.
  • Validation of the framework in real-world primary care settings.

Conclusions:

  • The competency framework can foster a stronger professional identity among primary care providers.
  • It defines clear roles and responsibilities, enhancing professional cohesion.
  • Findings will inform continuous professional development and undergraduate health education for improved primary care readiness.
