Introduction Ensuring equivalence in high-stakes performance exams is important for patient safety and candidate fairness. We compared inter-school examiner differences within a shared OSCE resulting impact on students' pass/fail categorisation.
Introduction Whilst rarely researched, the authenticity with which Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) simulate practice is arguably critical to making valid judgements about candidates' preparedness progress in their training. We studied how and why an OSCE gave rise different experiences of for participants under circumstances.
Abstract Purpose Ensuring equivalence of examiners’ judgements within distributed objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs) is key to both fairness and validity but hampered by lack cross-over in the performances which different groups examiners observe. This study develops a novel method called Video-based Examiner Score Comparison Adjustment (VESCA) using it compare scoring from OSCE sites for first time. Materials/ methods Within summative 16 station OSCE, volunteer students were...
Objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs) are a cornerstone of assessing the competence trainee healthcare professionals, but have been criticised for (1) lacking authenticity, (2) variability in examiners' judgements which can challenge assessment equivalence and (3) limited diagnosticity trainees' focal strengths weaknesses. In response, this study aims to investigate whether sharing integrated-task OSCE stations across institutions increase perceived while enhancing by enabling...
Research stresses that mealtimes in care homes for older people are vital social events residents’ lives. Mealtimes have great importance residents as they provide a sense of normality, reinforce individuals’ identities and orientate their routines. This ethnographic study aimed to understand use dining spaces during mealtimes, specifically examining table assignment processes. Data were collected summer 2015 three located England. The research settings looked after aged 65+, each having...
Abstract Unnecessarily delayed discharges from hospital of older people living with frailty can have negative consequences for their health and add significant costs to services. We report on an ethnographic study at two English hospitals respective social care systems where we followed 37 patient journeys. The aim was understand why delays occur. Our findings indicate that working practices in the may inadvertently contributed delays. While many pieces patients’ clinical information were...
