En la actualidad, el talento es un valor diferencial que permite generar ventajas competitivas sostenibles y duraderas en el tiempo. Por ello, la competitividad y el futuro de la gran mayoría de las organizaciones va a estar claramente relacionada con la capacidad que tengan estas para atraer, identificar, evaluar, retener, desarrollar y comprometer el talento de las personas. La guerra por atraer a personas con talento y potencial es una realidad, y aquellas organizaciones que sean flexibles e innovadoras sobre cómo llevar a cabo este proceso son las que obtendrán mejores resultados, y por ende, a personas con un gran talento. «Un profesional con talento es una persona comprometida que muestra un repertorio de comportamientos observables y medibles asociados con un rendimiento alto o excelente en un determinado contexto profesional, y con una contribución notable al éxito y futuro de su organización». Es por ello, que necesitamos hacer énfasis en la definición, identificación y evaluación de los perfiles competenciales que se requieren en nuestras organizaciones, al tiempo que diseñamos diferentes estrategias que permitan aumentar los niveles de compromiso de las personas. Este libro presenta un estudio exhaustivo y riguroso del concepto de «competencias», y por tanto su evolución en estos últimos años. Y, además, describe las diferentes metodologías y herramientas existentes para la identificación y evaluación de las competenciales según las necesidades de los puestos y de la organización.

This volume of essays from leading British, North American and Australasian contributors looks at the issues of the convergence of distance and conventional education. The term 'convergence' refers to the breaking down of barriers between open and distance learning and conventional institutions, and the creation of more and more institutions working across a range of modes. Such convergence has been driven by a number of factors, including the new technologies for teaching and learning, the impact of lifelong learning policies, the entry of larger than ever numbers of adult part-time students into tertiary education, and the demands of both employers and individuals for professional and work-related education throughout their working lives. The fourteen chapters engage critically with a range of aspects of convergence, including: * how well is open and distance learning carried out by conventional institutions for which it may continue for a lengthy period to be seen as of secondary importance? * to what extent will open and distance learning be more effectively carried out by conventional institutions able to offer a variety of modes to a wide range of learners? * how well will the variety of learners be served by systems that are converging? * what are the managerial issues at institutional level where converging systems are being developed?

The only comprehensive professional handbook on EuroPsy, the European standard and benchmark for education and training in psychology. This book is mandatory reading for anyone involved with accreditation, education, quality assurance, and assessment of standards in psychology. EuroPsy has been accepted and adopted as the European standard for education and training in psychology by EFPA. This book, written by its initiator and leading members of the working groups that set EuroPsy up, is the only comprehensive text available about this European benchmark. It first reviews the development of EuroPsy in the historical context of psychology as science and profession and policies for higher education set by international bodies, and in particular the European Union. This handbook then goes on to address the curricula of university courses and programmes following from the Bologna Agreement, the flexibility allowed to reflect diversity in Europe, licencing and accreditation, and benchmarking, as well as other prerequisites for meeting the EuroPsy standards. These include the use of a competence model to assure professional standards, supervision, continued professional development, supervision, and ethics. Finally, the authors examine the current and future role of EuroPsy in psychology in Europe, including practical examples of how EuroPsy has been applied in practice.

Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this must be taken into account in adverse events prevention. Human factors assume a decisive importance in resilient organizations, and an understanding of risk control and containment is fundamental for all medical and surgical specialties. This open access book offers recommendations and examples of how to improve patient safety by changing practices, introducing organizational and technological innovations, and creating effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care systems, in order to spread the quality and patient safety culture among the new generation of healthcare professionals, and is intended for residents and young professionals in different clinical specialties.
