NURS 50 - Fundamentals of Medical/Surgical Nursing - Stage 4 - Lisa Nava

Assessment Methods	Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs Assignments based on rubrics (such as essays, projects, and performances) Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work Student self-assessments (such as reflective journals and surveys) Student satisfaction surveys Pre & post surveys or tests
Assessment Description	Student satisfaction survey included this information: What aspects of the available electronic charting did you find most beneficial, what aspects were least effective? How could electronic charting be improved in the clinical setting? Were the case studies helpful in reinforcing class content? Were the assigned readings and lectures appropriate for the course? Did the clinical experience help in reinforce course content?
Learning Outcomes	All
Number of Sections	1
Number of Instructors	5
Number of Students	48

Data Shared With	Instructors of the same course (at CCSF) Faculty and staff within our department
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings Email
Data Summary	1. Greater than 90% of students passed the course. 2. Student surveys were positive regarding course lectures, reading assignments and case studies. 3. Clinical evaluations were completed by all students and reflected a positive correlation between class content and clinical application. 4.All students were successful charting utilizing electronic medical records The majority of the students evaluated the available electronic medical documentation system as difficult to use.
Analysis Summary	1.Student satisfaction surveys regarding SIMCHART (electronic medical documentation) were overall, negative. Students found the system difficult to use. 2.Clinical faculty also found the SIMCHART difficult to use. 3.Clinical faculty did not see a correlation between the ability to chart using SIMCHART and reflecting the student's knowledge of the patient's condition, medications, and nursing plan of care. 4. Clinical instructors were able to provide feedback to students on a weekly basis, allowing students to improve, 100% of all students completing Nursing 50 passed the clinical rotation.
Next Steps Planned	1.Fall 2013 semester, Nursing 50 will delete SIMCHART and implement an addition electronic medical record charting system. 2.Additional case studies will be implemented.
Learning Outcomes	Refer to previous answers.
