Performance appraisals communicative

The behavior-anchored rating scale (BARS) method of performance appraisal is designed more specifically to assess behaviors necessary for successful performance. Most BARS methods use the term job dimension to mean those broad categories of duties and responsibilities that make up a job, requiring development of unique scales for each dimension. Managers often develop BARS in collaboration with employees well versed in the job. An example of how a BARS may look for a community pharmacy technician in dealing with customers is illustrated in Table 10-4. The BARS system lends itself to providing quality feedback, particularly if supplemented with qualitative comments on how to improve. A drawback is the time and effort required to develop an effective BARS appraisal. 

Elements that were handled well include accoimt-ability, competent supervision, and performance appraisal. The small size of the organization assisted the speed of communications and the owner s clear acceptance of responsibility was demonstrated by visible actions (see die result for the element of accoimt-abihty in TaWe 6). 

Distribution software has had many years to evolve and improve. Software that supports the provision of pharmaceutical care is still maturing. The provision of pharmaceutical care is a process. Whether this provision occurs in a community, health system, long-term care facility, or other pharmacy practice setting, there is a process that underlies each practice. The practice of pharmaceutical care begins with the appraisal of the patient. Based on the findings of that appraisal, the pharmacist will perform one or several interventions. Having documented an intervention, the pharmacist will then need to evaluate the outcomes of these interventions. Once the desired outcomes have been achieved and documented, a suitable follow-up and monitoring schedule should be established.

Organizations work hard to provide multidirectional communication (i.e., upward, downward, and laterally) for their employees. However, despite their honorable intentions, many employees still feel that they are not fully informed about what is happening in the organization, especially about those things that directly impact them and their work. They also feel that their ideas are not being solicited and that performance feedback is sporadic other than during appraisal times. 

To be able to appraise various photodetector types, we will attempt here to define a general idealized infrared detector, which would, independently on a particular detection mechanism, satisfy aU the requirements posed for such a device. The performance of a real detector are then determined by the degree of compliance of its parameters, and thus defined perfect device. Of course, one can object that such an approach cannot be objective, since a particular application determines priorities in performance (for instance, for some military applications speed and detectivity are of primary importance, while costs are secondary for communication purposes one requires large speeds and low prices, etc.). In other words, one cannot define a unique set of characteristics that could describe all existing situations— an ideal detectors has as many definitions as there are applications [3].
