clinic day sheet and upcoming assignments

Wow! What a beautiful day! The sun is shining and I am on blogger! What a bummer! I have been thinking about my QA assignment. I am thinking about a self-assessment for faculty to mirror the ones that students would do with their vertical bite wings??? Faculty could QA on the form so they know how to assess the students in the clinics. What do you guys think??

Regarding day sheets:

Students have 1 1/2 hour appts, so there are usually multiple appts for each pt. The grade sheet assesses different areas like med hx and updates, oral assessments, care plan, rads, instrumentation - scaling per quad, selective polish, re-eval, time management. There are usually multiple grade sheets for each pt at the end of care. The grades for each area are averaged across patients and given a weight. Med Hx is 3%, OA is 7 %, Care Plan is 5%, Rads 2%, instrumentation 60%, (10% each for max quads, 20% each for mand quads, polish 4%, case mgt 5%, re-eval 1%, time mgt 54%. They can reach for 8% of grade through quantity points... which is a way to assess their scheduling ability. They get so many points for harder deposit class pts. So, if they see all easy class 1,2,3 patients, they get less points than for class 4 pts.

We can't get the form, but this was the basic description. The program doesn't allow the sharing of the form. So, that is all I have for today.

See you tomorrow!

Another week has slipped by!

Hello Ladies!

Another week has slipped by! Spring break is only a week away!! Can you hardly believe we are so close to spring! I continue to work on my protocol and process eval for class. It seems never ending! I am moving ahead on my OSCE for the next assignment. How is the research going for everyone else?

I talked to Lisa about Treatment Planning. I know that others have tx planning on their self-analysis list for Jill's class as well. I know how to tx plan, but I am interested in what the students learn. If everyone needs it, she is willing to give some class time to the topic in the interest of doing it once for all of us. Thanks, Lisa!

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! See you on Monday,

Kim

CC Patient Tracking

Well, I haven't received an email back yet regarding CC patient tracking at ISU. Kandi must have been busy this week. I will post a response when I get one! I am also wondering how others are feeling about posting sometimes sensitive information we receive from schools? Should we be doing that? We are asking for specific information on their programs??
