The World Health Organization report ‘Preparing a health care workforce for the 21st century: The challenge of chronic conditions’ outlines how the global shift from acute to chronic health problems is placing new and different demands on the health care workforce. It identifies 5 new core competencies for health providers:
- Person-centred care
- Partnership approach
- Quality improvement
- Information and communication technology
- Public health perspective
The Human Behaviour and Health Research Unit at Flinders University, South Australia documents 19 core capabilities to provide effective CCSM Support in their seminal work 'Capabilities for Supporting Prevention and Chronic Condition Self-management' (Lawn, S. & Battersby, M., 2008).
In WA, the document CCSM support capabilities – training, resources and references for health providers (PDF 1MB) has been compiled to facilitate quick access to training options, resources and references suitable for a time-limited workforce.
The document provides information for 37 different CCSM support skills, capacities and knowledge areas, adapted from the above Flinders University capabilities. These are grouped under the headings:
Section A: Overview of strategic context
Section B: Strategic knowledge
Section C: Person-centred skills
Section D: Behaviour change and lifestyle skills
Section E: Organisation/systems knowledge and skills
