Claims11
A program storage device readable by machine, the storage device comprising instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for evaluating the competency of an evaluatee associated with an academic hospital in one or more competency categories, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing a plurality of evaluation questions within a first database;
- associating each question with one or more of the competency categories, each competency category associated with a function of individuals within the academic hospital;
- generating an online evaluation comprising a plurality of questions for evaluating an evaluatee;
- automatically assigning the evaluation to an evaluator for completion online, assignment being according to a profile information of the evaluator and the evaluatee;
- tracking whether the evaluator has completed the evaluation;
- receiving one or more corresponding responses from the evaluator;
- storing the responses in a second database;
- retrieving one or more of the responses from the second database and generating a first report at least partially based thereon;
- generating a second report indicating, for at least one assigned evaluation, at least one of:
- a due date for completion, a remaining period until the due date, and an elapsed period since the due date;
- wherein the first report is an online accessible report comprising one or more competency category scores generated based on the responses;
- wherein the evaluatee and evaluator comprise individuals associated with the hospital;
- wherein the first database includes a user profile information for each individual associated with the hospital, the user profile information including a length of time the individual has been associated with at least one of:
- the hospital, a department, an assignment, and another individual.
A computer implemented system for facilitating the evaluation of one or more individuals associated with an academic hospital according to one or more competency categories, each competency category indicative of the individual's proficiency with respect to one or more of:
- desired skills, attributes, abilities, subject matter knowledge and the completion of tasks, the system comprising:
- a database;
- a first interface in network connection with the database, the first interface for permitting an administrator to accomplish one or more of the following:
- generating one or more questions for storage in the database,
- associating one or more of the questions with one or more competency categories;
- selectively assigning one or more of the questions to an evaluator for a purpose of evaluating at least one of:
- an individual and a group of individuals associated with the academic hospital;
- a second interface in network connection with the database, the second interface permitting the evaluator to accomplish one or more of the following:
- generating one or more responses corresponding to the assigned questions,
- storing the responses in the database according to at least one of:
- corresponding question, competency category, individual evaluated and group of individuals evaluated;
- wherein the first interface further permits the administrator to generate a report indicating a level of proficiency of the individual or group of individuals in one or more competency categories.
