Cast Sheets

Create Cast sheets to get started with the SP recruitment process.

Cast sheets hold together a series of simulated patient encounters that collectively forming a comprehensive medical training program. You can provide Cast sheet titles that refer to courses, departments or Activities etc.


Important:
Cast Sheets Are Not Equivalent to Activities

You can adapt your Cast sheets to Activities created in your LearningSpace system. However, Cast sheets function independently of Activities: the two components are not interchangeable and cannot be tied together in any way.




Cast Sheet Management

Creating Cast Sheets

To start the SP recruitment process, create Cast sheets related to a curriculum, class, subject, or long-term medical training project.  


See How to Create Cast Sheets.

Cabinets

Like other modules, the SPA module uses Cabinets to organize your Cast sheets.

Provide the title of a new Cast sheet and place it in a new or existing Cabinet:


You are only able to save a Cast sheet if you add it to a Cabinet. See also How to Delete Cabinets.

Creating Sessions


Once you have set up a blank Cast sheet, you can start adding new sessions to continue planning upcoming simulated patient encounters:  

 

See How to Create Sessions.

Adding Cases to Sessions

After creating Sessions inside a Cast sheet, you can add Cases to request and confirm selected SPs.


See How to Add Cases to Sessions

Creating SP Groups

With the Create SP Group option, you can set up a group for the SPs included in a Cast sheet. This group will then be listed and managed in the User Manager under Groups


See How to Create SP groups.

Copying Cast Sheets

Cast sheets can be copied by clicking on the Copy icon, located in the upper right corner of the Casting page:



See Copying Cast Sheets.

Exporting Cast Sheets

The data of the Sessions included in the Cast sheets can be exported into XLSX or PDF files with the help of the Export Cast Sheet option, located in the upper right corner of the Casting page.


The exported file contains:

  • Name of the Sessions

  • The date of the Sessions

  • start time of the Sessions

  • End time of the Sessions

  • Case names

  • SPs' names

A latest enhancement allows Cast Sheet Export as PDF to support Chinese, Korean, and Cyrillic characters.
