What happens during a practice assessment?
During a practice assessment, practice advisors use the practice assessment criteria to evaluate your practice. Throughout the assessment, the practice advisor will:
- provide feedback outlining areas where you are doing well and meeting standards
- identify areas where there is an opportunity for improvement
- offer support through coaching and conversation
- probe the thinking behind certain actions and activities
- indicate where to access helpful resources
After your assessment, you will receive feedback in a report available to you in your online OCP account. Results are typically available within 48 hours. The report is focused on opportunities for learning and resources to help practice.
The results of a practice assessment are confidential and are not shared with employers, pharmacy owners or colleagues. The results are only provided to the Quality Assurance (QA) Committee according to the process described below.
