Hospitals, clinics & health systems · Broader opportunity

Turn policies and procedures into measurable workforce competency.

Publishing a policy and collecting attestations is not competency. Accreditors and CMS expect evidence that staff can perform the work — assessed, dated and attributed. TIQPlus turns the documents you already maintain into training and validated competency, held per person and per unit.

For hospitals, health systems, clinics, behavioral health and post-acute providers

The problem

Why 100% completion still fails a competency review

The number is real. It is measuring the wrong thing.

1

Attestation has become a substitute for assessment.

A policy is published, everyone clicks acknowledge, and the report shows 100%. That tells you the document was opened. It does not tell you whether anyone can perform the procedure it describes.

The risk: a competency finding on a policy you believed was covered.
2

Policies and training drift apart.

The policy is revised in the document system. The training module was built two years ago from an earlier version, by someone who has since left. Nobody reconciles the two until a survey does it for you.

The risk: staff trained accurately against the wrong version.
3

Skills validation lives on paper.

Unit-based competency checklists, high-risk low-volume skill validations and preceptor sign-offs are done properly, and then filed in a binder in a manager's office. They are not reportable, and they are not visible above unit level.

The risk: evidence that exists but cannot be produced.
4

Agency and travel staff need everything at once.

Contingent clinical staff need orientation, unit-specific competencies and mandatory training compressed into a short window, and they cycle out before the annual calendar comes round again.

The risk: the same gap recurring with every new contract.

How it works

How TIQPlus handles it

The document you already maintain becomes the training and the assessment.

Start from the document you maintain

Upload the policy, procedure or clinical guideline. TIQPlus generates a structured module and knowledge check from it, which your educators review before it publishes.

Attach the competency, not just the content

Define what has to be demonstrated alongside what has to be read — an observed skill, a return demonstration, a case-based assessment — and who is authorised to sign it off.

Assign by role and unit

Annual mandatories for everyone, unit-specific competencies for the unit, and a compressed set for contingent staff on arrival, all from the same requirement model.

Report competency, not completion

Dashboards show validated competency by unit, role and individual, with expiry and reassessment windows, exportable for survey readiness.

The record

What the competency record holds

Per person, per unit, with the assessor and the date attached to every validated skill.

Record What it holds
Policy version trained Which revision each person was trained against, with reassignment when the policy is updated.
Knowledge assessment Score and date for the assessment attached to each policy or procedure, with re-attempt history.
Observed competency The skill demonstrated, the assessor, the date, the outcome and the reassessment interval.
Annual mandatories HIPAA, infection prevention, bloodborne pathogens, fire and emergency preparedness, workplace violence prevention and other annual requirements, tracked per person.
Licensure and credentials Professional licence, certification and life support dates, with expiry tracking and renewal alerts.
Contingent staff Orientation and unit competency records for agency and travel staff, retained after the assignment ends.

Who uses it

Who uses it

Nursing Professional Development

Build competency programs from current policy rather than maintaining a parallel content library that ages independently.

  • Modules generated from the live policy version
  • Competency definitions attached to content
  • Reassessment intervals managed centrally

Quality, Risk & Accreditation

Produce competency evidence by unit and role on request, instead of assembling it in the weeks before a survey.

  • Competency reporting by unit and role
  • Policy version acknowledgement trail
  • Survey-ready export at any time

Unit Managers & Preceptors

Sign off observed skills where the work happens, and see outstanding validations for the team in a single list.

  • Sign-off from the manager portal at the point of care
  • Outstanding validations by team member
  • Onboarding view for agency and travel staff

Underneath

One platform, configured for your sector

The requirement sets, evidence types and reporting above are configuration, not a separate product. The same platform runs learner, manager, admin and HR portals, generates training from your own documents, and exports the records you need.

FAQ

Questions we get from healthcare operators

Does TIQPlus replace our policy management system?

No. Your policy system stays the source of truth for the document itself. TIQPlus takes the current version, turns it into training and competency assessment, and tracks who has been assessed against which version.

How is a competency different from a course completion here?

A completion records that someone finished a module. A competency records that a named assessor observed a demonstrated skill on a date, with an outcome and a reassessment interval. Both are held against the person.

Can it handle unit-specific competencies?

Yes. Requirement sets are defined by role and by unit, so a med-surg competency set can differ from a critical care one without maintaining two separate systems.

Is it suitable for accreditation preparation?

It produces the per-person, per-unit competency evidence surveys ask for. Accreditation is granted against your program rather than the software, but this is the record-keeping layer that program depends on.

What about clinical staff who are not at a workstation?

Training runs on a phone or tablet, and preceptors record observed competency from the manager portal at the point of care.

Take one policy through to validated competency

Bring a current policy. We will generate the module and knowledge check from it, define the competency that sits alongside it, and show you the unit-level evidence it produces.

  • Generate training from a live policy version
  • Define the observed competency and who signs it off
  • See competency reporting by unit and role
  • Review the export a surveyor would receive
