Quick Help Guides - Criteria and Performance Utility
Getting Started
Collect and organize all case-specific information, graphics and scoring
criteria before you start work in the C & P Utility. Follow the file path
diagrammed in the margin to access the Criteria and Performance Utility. The
Clinical Competency Examination Criteria and Performance Utility title screen
gives you a choice between creating a new case or editing an existing one.
Click CREATE NEW CASE and enter the patient’s name and select one
of three template choices; adult male, adult female, or pediatric. The
next screen you will see will be the C & P Case Preferences screen.
Click EDIT EXISTING CASE and choose the case you would like to edit.
You must know the location of the selected case folder. Open the
folder. The next screen you see will be the C & P Menu screen. Click
the button corresponding to the section of the case you would like
to edit.
Case Preferences
Setting Case Preferences allows the instructor to determine what students
will see when they access the Clinical Competency Exam. Use the radio
buttons and the boxes to designate your answers for the questions listed.
1. Which type of findings should be collected for this case? This response
determines whether students will collect and enter all findings in a
single list or divide their findings into positive and negative lists.
2. Should a problem list be collected for this case? This choice determines
if your students will be required to collect and enter a list of patient
problems.
3. Would you like to enter content questions for this case? Answering yes
means a screen will appear later in the C & P Utility where you can enter
multiple choice, true-false, or short answer questions for students to
answer as they work through the case. “No” means no content
questions will appear.
4. Should the patient be treated in the hospital or as an outpatient? This
answer will be used as part of the criteria to evaluate the student’s
management plan.
5. How should the student indicate management items for this patient?
This response determines whether students will select management
items in various categories from a menu of management choices within
each category or select a management category and then use “free
text” entry to specify management activities for the chosen categories.
6. Will you collect checklists from the standardized patient? Answer Yes if
you want a standardized patient to answer a list of yes-no questions
about his/her encounter with the student. If you answer yes, you will be
asked to specify on this screen the total points possible and the
minimum satisfactory level for each checklist. If you enter only one
checklist, enter zeros for the other list.
