  • Title: Tracking clinical competencies on the web.
    Author: Hobbs DL.
    Journal: Radiol Technol; 2005; 76(5):345-53. PubMed ID: 15921014.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) has defined several core examinations that student radiographers must perform to demonstrate competency. Furthermore, the ARRT has left the method of tracking competency exams to educators. OBJECTIVE: This article describes a Web-based system that can be used to track clinical competencies. METHOD: The pedagogy employed in designing a meaningful and successful Web site to track competencies can be overwhelming. Considerations include selecting software, the design and implementation process, and providing security to protect confidential information. CONCLUSION: The Web-based system described in this article is innovative, sensible and relatively easy to adopt. This tracking method provides faculty members with instantaneous access and a quick review of the student's competency examinations. Students' competency information for the entire program is contained in 1 electronic file. With minor modification, the system can be used in a variety of educational and administrative settings.
