The activity worked to strengthen HCPs’ capacity within three MOH hospitals and RMS facilities for COVID-19 critical care respiratory therapy (RT) and mechanical ventilation (MV). To further institutionalize and sustain the initial LHSS training activities LHSS worked closely with the MOH to develop a competency-based framework (CFW) for the interdisciplinary teams. LHSS in collaboration with hospitals management at MOH will support the establishment of Respiratory Therapy Units (RTU) at three targeted MOH hospitals “Central region at AL-Basheer hospital North region at Princess Basma Hospital and South region at AL-Karak Hospital”. Moreover LHSS will support conducting of an “Advanced Competency-Based Training Program” on mechanical ventilation and respiratory therapy for selected HCPs working in ICUs in collaboration the Jordan Nursing Council JNC as part of the LHSS partnership with JNC and MOH. LHSS will train 20 HCPs at MOH and 20 HCPs at RMS to enhance their capabilities and to ensure providing high-quality respiratory care service and mechanical ventilation for critically ill patients. LHSS will recruit two consultants who will strengthen the capacity of ICU staff and existing respiratory therapists by implementing an advanced competency-based training program. The expected outcome of this consultancy is to train 20 ICU HCPs at MOH and 20 ICU HCPs at RMS. Goal: Strengthen the capacity of MOH and RMS HCPs on Advanced Competency-Based Training Program on MV and RT and standard RTs competencies identified in the competency framework developed by MOH to improve the quality level of respiratory care and mechanical ventilation provided for critically ill patients and to ensure continuous care throughout the working hours at ICUs. Objectives: * Strengthen the capacity of 20HCPs at MOH and 20 HCPs at RMS on Advanced Competency-Based Training Program as Professional Respiratory Therapy Practitioner. Tasks The consultants will: * Design and develop a training program in a manner that both consultants will jointly deliver a unified training outline pre and posttest overall training evaluation competency evaluation tool during the practical part of the training agenda. * Both consultants will develop a unified training material including but not limited to the following topics of advanced mechanical ventilation and respiratory therapy competencies within ICUs based on the CFW developed by MOH: Traumatic Injuries Acute Lung Injury / Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Burns and Inhalational Injury Pressure Targeted and Volume Guaranteed Ventilation Biphasic Ventilation Non-Invasive Ventilation Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation Pharmacological Agents in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Nitric Oxide Mechanical Ventilation of Neonates and Pediatrics Infant Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and High-Flow Nasal Cannula High Frequency Ventilation Advanced Ventilator Graphics New Modes of Ventilation. Training material for theoretical part to include case scenarios simulation cases group discussion presentation etc... * Conduct two in-person Advanced Competency-Based Training workshops based on the training material developed by each in coordination with the other consultant.
