in BST, why do you verbally describe the skill and provide rationale & provide a written written description
BST Step 1:
Describe Skills and Provide Rationale
•Verbal description of the purpose and content of training.
•Provides context and what the expectations for trainer and trainee will be.
•Helps with acceptance and buy-in.
BST Step 2: Provide a Written Description
•Permanent product for staff to maintain and review as needed.
•Summary form or performance checklist.
•The easier it is for someone to find something, the more likely they will us it (reduce response effort).
•Sometimes Steps 1 and 2 are combined; it is best not to do this.
