JMOs embark on their internship and resident medical officer years with the initial expectation on remaining focused on developing their knowledge and skills at the coalface. However, they’re also expected to reflect on their own performance by completing NSW Health’s mid and end of term assessment forms. This can often seem like a laborious task from sourcing the correct form, completing it accurately, making arrangements to meet with the supervisor and then meeting with the DPET for final signoff. But it’s not always smooth sailing. Often forms are inadvertently misplaced, forgotten when meeting with supervisor or lost and the process may need to start again. JMOs can move to the next rotation without receiving proper feedback and remediation.
Consequently, it’s the JMO Manager's responsibility to chase incomplete forms with a view to meeting accreditation requirements, collating accurate evidence of successful term completion ultimately ensuring JMOs are eligible for general registration.
The implementation of HPrime’s innovative, secure, electronic platform has completely changed old paradigms. JMO Managers now distribute the mid and end of term forms electronically. Workflow built into HPrime progresses forms from JMO Manager to JMO, to Supervisor, back to the JMO for review and inevitably to the DPET for sign off. Monthly, HPrime system-generated reports identify how JMO forms are progressing, any non-compliance and system-generated reminders if required. Guess what, it’s all doable on mobile devices. But wait there’s more . . . education calendar, education recordings, transcripts, rotations and much more. What are you waiting for?
