Introducing the new Achieve Framework
Over the next few weeks you will start to see some communication about the Achieve Framework.
This new framework replaces our Performance Feedback and Development (PFD) practice and is designed to help us improve the way we have our performance and development conversations. Achieve will be implemented for all employees with annual performance conversations due from the 1st of February 2021 onwards.
There will be a short learning program launching soon to introduce you to this new framework. This program is for all Eastern Health employees to complete in preparation for your next annual Achieve Conversation (previously Performance Feedback and Development Meeting).
This learning program will provide you with tips and tricks on how you can get the most out of these conversations so that they’re simpler and more relevant to you. It will also help you build some skills and habits around regular and ongoing feedback and reflection as well as walk you through the new process and tools.
This learning program will need to be completed a couple of months before your annual conversation and will be rolled out progressively based on the conversation date of staff each month
You’ll be notified when you are due to start the learning program but you can check your Achieve Conversation due date in iLearn under My Learning > My completed Learning > My due dates to get a rough idea so you can plan ahead.
Through this program we will be working towards asking for more feedback and aiming to reflect and learn from our experiences more.
More information will be available soon. In the interim, send any questions you may have to organisational.development@easternhealth.org.au.
Leave Planning
Don't forget that a leave planner is available at L:\EHGroupShare\EH Library\Staff Management\Leave Planning You can check this spreadsheet to see what leave has been booked by staff prior to placing leave requests in RosterOn.
DiTA database
DiTA is a sister database to PEDro. I was aware of PEDro but not of DiTA. I have added this database to our LibGuide on Evidence Based Practice Resources
DiTA is the Diagnostic Test Accuracy database, a free database that indexes primary studies of diagnostic test accuracy and systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy studies related to physiotherapy practice. DiTA has been designed to enable clinicians, researchers and patients to easily access information on the accuracy of diagnostic tests used by physiotherapists.

Redesign of CHC website
Below are the notes (Word.doc) compiled by Joanna Szczepanska from the CHC workshop that I recently attended. I have also attached her e-mail (Outlook) that summarises the work being undertaken.
Joanne refers to the CIAP (Clinical Information Access Portal - the NSW version of CHC) site. Workshop members reviewed a number of sites. The CIAP site was considered to provide the best model for the redevelopment of the CHC site because:
All points we can keep in mind for when we redesign our LibGuides.

How to maintain integrity when working remotely
Please ensure that you have read and are familiar with your responsibilities as Victoria public sector employees working remotely.
The Short Guide: How to maintain integrity when working remotely
The full guide is available below.
LibGuides no longer supports Internet Explorer 11
LibGuides no longer supports the use of IE 11. If you access our LibGuides using IE you will notice a banner that appears at the top of the page similar to that below. More information is available here.
Some of our pages also do not appear to be working in IE 11, such as tabbed boxes. So make sure you are using Chrome when accessing our Guides. Chrome should be available on all EH PCs. It should also be available on the Citrix platform I am told, though I can't see it on my Citrix desktop. May need to request it.
Retirement of Legacy PubMed
Legacy PubMed is to be retired at the end of this month. See the latest NLM Technical Bulletin for more information.

Accreditation
The Standard Work for Leaders: 2020 corporate tool has been released. This tool is used to assess the accreditation-readiness for each department. The first few items refer to our performance board and how we monitor our performance. I have attached a template from the Performance Board Practice Guideline that gives an idea of what a performance board (in a clinical area) should look like.
