360 Degree Evaluation Craig McClure, MD May 15, 2003 Educational Outcomes Service Group
Description • Use of rating forms to report frequency of observed behavior • Multiple people in contact with resident act as evaluators • Often survey type form • Ratings summarized by topic • Include goal-setting
Background • Human resources in business • ACGME found no published reports of use in GME
Use for “Soft” Areas • More accurate for formative than summative feedback • Interpersonal & communication • Professional behavior • Limited • Patient care • Systems-based practice
Decision to Utilize • Accepted and used by residents, faculty, staff? • Develop or purchase? • Cost? • Who are the raters? • How will the tool be used?
Decision to Utilize (2) • To whom is the information available? • What core competencies will be evaluated with this tool? • How nurture trust the process remains confidential? • Platform of evaluation
Acceptance • Will all potential evaluators fully participate? • Will raters be fair & honest? • Will residents accept the feedback from non-faculty?
Develop or Purchase • Development permits tailoring • Development time may be considerable • Purchasing gives a ready-made product • Purchasing: computer based
Developing • Expert in educational testing • Programming expertise • Pilot period
Purchase • Items measured appropriate? • Does it perform as claimed? • Inter-rater reliability? • Degree of support and ability to customize
Cost • If purchasing, monetary cost • If developing, personnel support • Data management system • Personnel time to complete forms • Annual development plan
Cost (2) • Addressing EEOC/grievance complaints • Handling disputes over data • Divisive & counterproductive for those resistant
Personnel Evaluation Time • 5 to 10 nurse evaluators per resident to give reproducible results • More for faculty • More for patients
Identify Raters • Patients (how explain process) • Nursing staff • Clerical staff members • Physician faculty members • Non-physician faculty members • Residents
Identify Raters (2) • Medical students • Allied Health Personnel • Self-assessment
Patients as Raters • Literacy • Language • Culture (medical and otherwise) • Personality
Intended Utility • Intervals: monthly, quarterly, yearly • Summative versus formative • To support high stakes decisions?
Access to Information • Resident • Advisor • Program Director
Confidentiality & Trust • Raters require anonymity • Residents require confidentiality • Both need the process to be positive & constructive • Prior history conditions expectations • Education to process aids current participation
Platform of Evaluation • PDA • Paper • Computer
Challenges • Securing appropriate instruments for variety of evaluators • Managing data successfully
Advantages • Electronic database for documentation • Ease of access for raters • Rapid turnaround for feedback • “Gap” analysis (self perception versus image of others)
Disadvantages • Hardware/software costs • Lack of validation in GME • Potential information overload • Selection bias • Discoverability • Potential for invalid feedback
