FEATURE STORY
CAPACITY BUILDING
Anchored as the third pillar in the BSO Framework for Care, Capacity Building has been woven throughout BSO planning and implementation. Early in 2012 the BSO Core Competencies and the Capacity Building Roadmap were distributed to assist LHINs with the hiring and capacity building of new staff.
In an effort to build on these resources, an Education and Training Subgroup of the Provincial Resource Team (PRT) was initiated to develop a complementary framework. This Education and Training Framework will enable LHINs to:
1. Assess their educational needs;
2. Understand how education and training programs align with the BSO target population, BSO core competencies and each other;
3. Select appropriate learning and development programs to meet those needs; and
4. Consider key strategies to ensure programs lead to change in both skills and practice
Within the next few weeks two online surveys will be distributed to help us assess learning needs and coordinate how we can continue to support capacity building at both a LHIN and front line level.
Each of the resources above is shared on the BSO Collaboration Space- please consider adding your own resources that are supporting your work in this area.
Look for the Education and Training Framework in June 2012!
