Random Case Analysis Ramesh Mehay
Aims: • to remind you about RCA • To help refine your skills • To revisit JoHari
Why do RCA? • encourage reflective practice and lifelong learning • encourages use of evidence • assess learning needs (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) • identify learning opportunities • help GPR to increase self-knowledge of their own strengths, weaknesses, and attitudes
The biggest advantage….. • RCA provides opportunities to explore cases where the registrar does not recognise a problem, or • where they may be avoiding having to deal with a problem. • This obviously requires sensitivity on the part of the trainer.

Mechanics • be in the right place • protected time - no interruptions • on first occasion, agree purpose and rules • case selection should be random • Listen and then respond - using the same skills that you would in a consultation • Take notes – it makes the task easier
Mechanics 2 • agree learning needs, negotiate a plan • give feedback – reinforce good things, descriptive, constructive • consider alternatives • Practise alternatives build skills • summarising - by you or by GPR • attitudinal issues • reversal of roles
You as the teacher are not expected to have all the answers - the need to look up the best evidence in order to answer a question provides a good role model. • The difficulty with RCA is that any number of avenues can be followed up. • The trainer has to be on his toes to spot problem areas of which the trainee may be unaware. • Remember that the aim is to help the registrar construct their own knowledge • you need to find out where they are at, and build on that
RCA profile • Previous scales mapped for content areas • New scale drawn up, piloted, and trainers surveyed • Refined scale used to rate 2 groups of trainers – training in RCA makes a difference!
Use of RCA profile • For trainers to analyse their own performance • To provide a structure for giving feedback • No reliability testing on scores – forget the numbers
Case-based discussion • Registrar selects 3 cases and prepares them • Trainer selects 2 to discuss • Start with written record and then explore the GPR’s professional judgement in the case in each of 10 domains
Case-based discussion • Trainer records ‘needs further development’, ‘competent’ or ‘excellent’ for each domain • Trainer makes recommendations for change • Training for trainers happening soon!
