Effective from April 2022 there is a newly created Cardiac Advanced Life Support (CALS) skill code available in HealthRoster. This skill 'Cardiac Advanced Llife Support (CALS)' will enable roster managers or appropriate delegates in Local Health district (LHDs) and Speciality Health Networks (SHNs) the ability to adequately capture those staff who have completed an accredited resuscitation protocol for the post cardiac surgical patient.
In HealthRoster, roster managers should assign this specific skill to a staff member who is deemed competent in this skill:
*NB: HealthRoster skills do not supplement requirement to record training and other credentialing courses in My Health Learning. Please also refer to the NSW Health Rostering Guideline for the Management and recording of Skills in the Rostering Resource Manual and Rostering Capability Matrix on the Rostering Portal.
For skills definitions see the standardised Skills Definitions list.
For information on how to assign skills in HealthRoster see Part 1 Roster Creation Management Guide.
