Tool (CCAT) allows a Registered Nurse (RN) working within the BC Family Health Visiting Program (BC FHVP) to self-assess and plan for continued improvement strategies to meet the required competencies to work with the Early Years population. The baseline competencies detailed in this tool are specific to BC FHVP and build on the Foundational Continuing Competency Assessment Tool. These competencies are based on the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada: Release 2.0 and the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) Professional Standards and Practice Standards to ensure safe, competent and ethical practice.  \nThe document is organized by the BCCNM relevant professional standards, BCCNM relevant practice standards, and PHAC core competencies (light green banner), under which there are Public Health Nursing competencies (green banner) . Competency is defined as an expected level of performance that integrates knowledge, skills, abilities, and judgement. Under each competency there are indicators, defined as the practical application of a competency, e.g.:  \nPurpose of this competency tool  \n1. Provides a description of the PHN competencies required to work in the BC Family Health Visiting Program.  \n2. Supports self-assessment of practice using competencies.  \n3. Identifies learning needs.  \n4. Guides implementation of effective learning strategies.  \n5. Highlights new skills, competencies, and knowledge needed to support your professional growth.  \nBC FHVP: Prenatal & Early Years Continuing Competency Assessment Tool (CCAT) 1  \n\n| Relevant Professional Standards to Competency |\n| --- |\n| 1. Competency |\n| 1.1 Indicators |\n\nIntroduction  \nRecommended self-assessment/review intervals  \nIt is recommended that you complete this competency self-assessment at your start date, 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. However, this tool can also be completed as needed to support and guide your learning. Discuss with your Supervisor, Clinical Resource Nurse (CRN) or Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE) regarding the process for reviewing your completed CCAT in each competency  \nIn this BC FHVP CCAT tool, it is expected you will achieve a score of 2 in each competency by the end of your probationary/qualifying period (3 months/90 days), and a score of 3 or 4 in each competency by the end of 1 year.  \n2 BC FHVP: Prenatal & Early Years Continuing Competency Assessment Tool (CCAT)  \nInstructions  \n1. Complete the CCAT using the competency levels below.  \n2. Identify:  \n• how you met the competency,  \n• your areas of strength, and  \n• your areas for improvement  \nInclude strategies that may help you meet your goals.  \n3. Share your competency self-assessment with your Supervisor, CRN, or CNE.  \n4. Your Supervisor, CRN, or CNE will review your CCAT. Together, you will both establish learning strategies to help you progress in your clinical area or address areas for improvement.  \n5. Plan a time to follow up on your identified goals and learning strategies with your Supervisor, CRN, or CNE.
