Use of appraisals for professional effectiveness.
Appraisal is usually linked with performance but it can also apply to intervention programmes. It is a distinct and formal management procedure used in the evaluation of work performance or the impact of a programme based on set objectives which are usually SMART. Every programme requires continual and meaningful feedback that transforms what looks technical into a dynamic and interactive process. This ties outcomes to intervention. Of great importance for a professional is self appraisal. When a professional is passion-driven to meet the needs of a client, the need to build capacity becomes obvious to remain in the market. Facility appraisal is as important as the environment of any service delivery and psychologically impacts on the consumer. Appraisal seems both inevitable and universal. To continually raise the standard of health care delivery, capacity building is at the crux. This will thoroughly equip health professionals for client-patient centered "best practices."
