Cascade Training Model

Return on Investment Do we measure the impact of training interventions? If so – how? If we don’t measure the impact – how do we justify the cost?

1 Preferences Keytrainer course content relevant to workplace Satisfaction, Reaction and Action objectives 100& - commit to cascade training / identify course is relevant to work areas / intention to use the training in the workplace 2 Learning needs Improvement in staff knowledge Learning objectives Successfully pass knowledge assessment test / complete risk assessment documentation task / complete action plan in conjunction with the ward manager 3 Job performance / implementation needs To perform safe patient moving and handling techniques Application / implementation objectives - KT & Manager Keytrainer delivering cascade training Patient handling risk assessments accurate & up to date Ensure that staff comply with the handling techniques outlined in the risk assessment. Appropriate equipment used for patient handling 4 Business needs Reduction in staff injury Impact objectives 10% reduction in moving and handling incidents where there is non compliance with risk assessment controls 10% reduction in staff personal injury claims 5 ROI Net Programme Benefit This compares the benefit of the training programme with the cost of running it.
