TRAINING & COMPETENCIES


PAMS provides a integrated approach to managing staff competencies and the delivery of training requirements.   Core to PAMS is understand the importance of managing process, technique, handling and compliance to ensure optimal performance within the pre-analytical process.  Management of skills and competencies is of critical importance to ensuring quality and efficiency.  Delivering training to staff outside of the lab can be both costly and time consuming, and it is often difficult to know where training is needed or it should be targeted.  PAMS utilises the power of the mobile platform to enable you to deliver effective, self-paced multimedia training programs that can be targeted to specific staff needs.  With PAMS every user has a training device in their hands, and you can notify them of training requirements, monitor their progress and assess their competencies.  The new visibility provided by PAMS, enables you to understand where training is needed, allowing you to target specific training to specific topics and staff.
