# E_AVG, E_STDEV: class total average and standard deviation in percentage, e.g., 72.24%, 12.54% - valid for all.

# S_SCORE*: learner section score in points, e.g., 14 - valid in section items only.

# S_AVG: class section average in points, e.g., 14.24 - valid in section items only.

# S_TOTAL: section score in points, e.g., 20 - valid in section items only.

# S_STDEV*: section score standard deviation in points, e.g., 4.54 - valid in section items only.

#** S_AB**: "above" or "below" depending on whether S_SCORE > S_AVG or not - valid in section items only.

# SA_SCORE: "cross-case total" score for the current skill area - valid for skill area items only.

# SA_AVG: "cross-case total" average for the current skill area - valid for skill area items only.

# SA_AB: "above" or "below" depending on whether SA_SCORE > SA_AVG or not - valid for skill area items only.

# MISSED_ITEMS: a bulleted list with the "phrase" of the items that the student did not get the (maximum possible) point value or got an answer with a 0 value - valid for section items only.

#** BELOW_AVG_ABOVE_ITEMS**: in the report, replaced by a 3-part list:

• Below average for: <<ITEMS1>>

• Average for: <<ITEMS2>>

• Above average for: <<ITEMS3>>

Valid for section items only.

# CORRECT_* - The CORRECT_ label can be used to say if a learner was or was not able to answer a question correctly.

It is built by using the following information:

• The Case name or short identifier

• The Part identifier (case-sensitive)

  • SP

  • PREL = Pre-encounter learner

  • POSTL = Post-encounter learner

  • FON

  • CE = Case Evaluation

• The Item number (Item = Question in LearningSpace)

• An option element:

  • were_were not

  • did_did not

  • n/a

#{CORRECT_short identifier_part identifier_item number_option element}#

When you use the Case name instead of the short identifier, you must put the Case name in double quotes:

#CORRECT_”case name”_part identifier_item number_option element}#

Example: you want to use the#{CORRECT}# merge tag to create the following statement for question 3 in the FON for the Case “Young Woman Anaphylaxis” whose short identifier is “Hx.”

You answered the question correctly/incorrectly.

The statement with the #{CORRECT}# merge tag and Short Identifier looks like this:

You answered the question #{CORRECT_Hx_FON_3_correctly_incorrectly}#.

The same statement with the #{CORRECT}# tag and the Case name looks like this:

You answered the question #{CORRECT_”Young Woman Anaphylaxis”_FON_3_correctly_incorrectly}#.

Example Nr.2.: “Lashon, you correctly identified/did not identify the signs for myocardial infarction.”

#{FIRSTNAME#}, you #{CORRECT_“George Davis”_POSTL_3_correctly identified_did not identify}# the signs for myocardial infarction.

Example #2:   You wish to have three different autotexts sent out to the learners based on their achieved scores:

"Overall Score.  You received a score of __%. Based on this score, 

_- (>90%) You performed well._

- (75-90%) You performed satisfactorily.

- (<75%) Your performance on this encounter was not yet on target for this point in the curriculum."

Autotext merge tags should be set up as follows in EP Template authoring:

Overall Score:

You received a score of #{E_SCORE}#

Based on this score, 

#{AT E_SCORE > 90% ! 6}#

#{AT E_SCORE > 74.5% AND E_SCORE< 90% ! 7}#  

#{AT E_SCORE < 75% ! 8}#

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES FOR THE UTILIZATION OF MERGE TAGS WITHIN TEXTUAL EVALUATION:

Your Case Total Score: #{C_SCORE}#

Class Case Average: #{C_AVG}#

Class Standard Deviation: #{C_STDEV}#

On the history section of the case, you received a score of #{S_SCORE}#.

The class average for the same section was #{S_AVG}#, with a standard deviation of #{S_STDEV}#

On the physical examination section of the case, you received a score of #{S_SCORE}#.

The class average for the same section was #{S_AVG}#, with a standard deviation of #{S_STDEV}#

For the communication component of this case, your score was #{S_SCORE}#.

The class average for this section was #{S_AVG}#, with a standard deviation of #{S_STDEV}#

Assessment/Prescription:

Pulling all this together, your nine encounters yielded the following:

Your event score is: #{E_SCORE}#

The class total average is: #{E_AVG}#

History Skill area:

On evaluating your performance in these cases, you received an overall score of #{SA_SCORE}# for History taking.  You were #{SA_AB}# the class average of #{SA_AVG}# for the number of expected questions asked.

Physical exam Skill area:

On evaluating your performance in these cases, you received an overall score of #{SA_SCORE}# for physical examination.  You were #{SA_AB}# the class average of #{SA_AVG}# for this section of the assessment.

Communication Skill area:

On evaluating your performance in all cases, you received an overall score of #{SA_SCORE}# for communication. You were #{SA_AB}# the class average of #{SA_AVG}# for this section of the assessment.

Some communication items were also scored in the patient perception questionnaire.  Again, reviewing comments made to you by the SP may be helpful here.
