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!

  1. For your Quality Assurance - would you have the faculty essentially do the same technique as the students? Then have them grade themselves/each other as they would the students? My only suggestion would be could you also assess their technique - their technique of the process and their troubleshooting technique (how might they help a student that elongates, etc.).

  2. This day sheet sounds complicated. How do they keep track of everything?
