How do you actually measure healthcare worker performance?

Patient satisfaction surveys tell you how the patient felt. But how do you measure whether a nurse or doctor is actually performing well clinically and operationally?

You need a multidimensional toolkit. The Performance Improvement (PI) Questionnaire and adapted Job Performance Scale are good starts. But combine them with: patient surveys (like HCAHPS), supervisor evaluations (structured, competency-based), and self-assessment tools covering clinical knowledge, communication, and protocol adherence. No single instrument captures everything. Performance is a mosaic. You need all the tiles.
