Health Care MIS Data2004-2005 Jim Comins, Initiative Director & Education Co-Chair SWHOAC
Vocational Education MIS • VTEA money requires accountability • Cal Community Colleges Management Information System collects, collates and reports educational data on student performance in Occupational Education • Vocational Programs categorized into: • Taxonomy of Program Codes • TOP Codes (Health TOP Codes--12000 series)
Core Indicators Definitions • I: Skill Attainment--indicates attainment of “C” or better (Goal: 79.76%) • II:Completion Rate--Percentage of students who complete degree or certificate or join the military (Goal: 60.82%)
Core Indicators Definitions • III., A. Placement in Post-secondary (4-year) Education, Employment or Military (Goal: 83.19%) • III., B. Retention in employment (employed for 3 or more consecutive quarters) (Goal: 82.85%) • IV. Non-traditional Students (occupations with 75% one gender) • A. Participation (Goal:29.98%) • B. Completion (Goal:25.03%)
Implications • Mentoring programs, outreach efforts and learning communities are all methodologies by which increasing numbers of diverse students may be recruited and their success fostered. • Recruit males into primarily female-dominated professions. • Allied health faculty should work closely with counselors and faculty in prerequisite classes to gain their assistance in guiding students into satisfying and rewarding careers in health care. • Allied health faculty should also reach out to engage their secondary school counterparts in guiding students into careers in health care.
Implications • California high schools reform: • Development of discipline-specific academies and magnet schools. • Frequently the health disciplines are the foci of these high school innovations. • Allied health faculty should capitalize on these opportunities for developing partnerships to provide a steady stream of well qualified, highly motivated, and well-prepared students into allied health programs.
