Data Analysis

Data Shared With	Faculty and staff within the same department
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings Email Phone
Data Summary	80% of students were able to successfully complete selected hospital forms using correct medical terminology. All students completed a take-home essay assignment based on required textbook reading. 90% of the students completed a 24 hours clinical in-hospital rotation.
Data Analysis	Students who completed the lecture component and successfully completed their clinical rotation achieved the stated outcomes for this program.
Next Steps Planned	This course will be revised during the Fall 2013 semester with the plan to reduce the hours from 9 to 6 and offer it two evenings per week instead of three. Three nights per week seems to be placing an added burden on students, possibly reflecting the slow economic recovery impacting their lives. The plan also includes moving the class from the Southeast Campus to Mission; students have expressed safety concerns.
