Repair a flawed assessment plan

A draft plan records that the employee watched a training video, passed ten multiple-choice questions, and signed a generic annual checklist. It gives no test-system name, contains no direct observation, and calls the record a competency assessment. The plan cannot support a conclusion about routine potassium performance or problem solving.

Repair the plan by defining the capability, selecting applicable six-element evidence, and tying each evidence item to the potassium test system. Use direct observation for routine work and maintenance as applicable, record review for QC and reporting, a blind or previously analyzed sample, and a defined problem-solving scenario. A written check may complement these methods but cannot replace direct performance evidence.

When a deficiency is found, document it and restrict or suspend independent performance where appropriate under local policy. Determine whether prior patient results need review, provide targeted retraining, reassess the failed capability, and document the outcome. Do not label a record complete merely because other elements passed.

At the bench, correct the unsupported claim by adding evidence, not by adding another signature.
