Table 1.

Combinations of task measurement variables used to identify tasks that need attention

Task combinations	Implications
High criticality + infrequently performed	Infrequency may be due to naturally rare occurrence or lack of training or infrastructure (e.g., not done in that setting). Depending on the reason for infrequency, tasks may be considered for development or revision of pre-service education (PSE) curricula or for in-service trainings for working HEWs.
High criticality + not able to perform safely	Provide in-service training, mentorship, and supervision for working HEWs and reconsider pre-service education.
High criticality + never trained	Tasks within the HEW scope of practice should be considered during development or revision of pre-service education curricula. Adding targeted in-service trainings provides the skills for working HEWs.
High criticality + not learned during pre-service education	Tasks need consideration during development or revision for HEW pre-service education curricula.
