Building on the structure and logic of the Common Assessment Framework for Health (CAF-H), participants will become familiar with the connections between pillars, dimensions, criteria, sub-themes, and indicators.<\/p><p>The training focuses on preparing for self-assessment, gathering and organizing evidence, conducting an evidence-based assessment of compliance, and collaborating effectively with the external evaluation team. At the same time, it highlights how the findings can be used to identify risks and priorities, develop corrective actions, and improve day-to-day operations.<\/p><p>The goal is not simply to gather documents in preparation for an audit, but to develop a consistent, evidence-based, and participatory approach to quality and safety: from individual criteria to improving the organization\u2019s operations and fostering systemic learning.<\/p><p><big><strong>Training Modules<\/strong><\/big><\/p><ul><li><strong>Healthcare Assessment: Purpose, Principles and Approaches<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><div><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>Self-assessment and external assessment: roles, stages and complementarity.<\/li><li>From the requirements of a standard to the assessment of their implementation and effectiveness.<\/li><li>Structure of the Common Assessment Framework for Healthcare (CAF-H): pillars, dimensions, criteria, sub-criteria and indicators.<\/li><li>Enabler criteria and results criteria; distinguishing between the existence of a procedure and its actual implementation in practice.<\/li><li>Criteria Critical to Quality (CTQ) and Important to Quality (ITQ) criteria.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><ul><li><strong>Preparing the Healthcare Provider for Assessment<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><div><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>Establishment of a self-assessment team, designation of responsible persons and points of contact.<\/li><li>Understanding the scope of application and the requirements relevant to the type of healthcare provider.<\/li><li>Planning the self-assessment process and coordinating the departments involved.<\/li><li>Initial identification of gaps, outstanding issues and areas of increased risk.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div><ul><li><strong>Documentation and Evidence of Compliance<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div><div><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>What constitutes appropriate evidence for each criterion and indicator.<\/li><li>Policies, procedures, protocols, minutes, implementation records, data and results.<\/li><li>Currency, completeness, traceability and consistency of evidence.<\/li><li>Triangulation of evidence from documents, data, interviews, observation and feedback.<\/li><li>Linking evidence to the corresponding criterion and avoiding fragmented or excessive document collection.<\/li><li>Organisation of the evidence file and development of a criterion\u2013evidence\u2013responsible person mapping matrix.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><ul><li><strong>Self-Assessment, Evidence-Based Scoring and Maturity<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><div><div><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>Interpretation of the criteria and establishing a common understanding of the assessment scale.<\/li><li>Scoring based on implementation, monitoring and improvement.<\/li><li>Reconciling different perspectives and reaching a consensus-based, evidence-supported assessment.<\/li><li>PDCA\/PDCAI approach: planning, implementation, checking and improvement or institutionalisation of improvement.<\/li><li>Identifying the gap between formal compliance and the consistent integration of requirements into day-to-day operations.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><ul><li><strong>Application Across the Five Pillars of the CAF-H<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>1.
