“…Challenges to feedback in medical education have been attributed to several variables including task performance, feedback reception, observation, and provision. [1][2][3][4][5][6] It is challenging for program directors to obtain reliable and consistent response rates on end of rotation evaluations for residents. Possible reasons include busy faculty with multiple demands on their time, lack of standardized forms, and asynchronous schedules.…”

Use of quick response (QR) codes to achieve timely feedback in clinical simulation settings

For clinical simulation to be of maximum benefit, obtaining timely feedback from participants is vital in ensuring suitable improvements are made in the content and delivery of teaching in this setting. This report reviews the literature and describes the use of quick response (QR) codes instead of paper feedback forms following simulation-based learning sessions for fourth-year medical students. This newly implemented electronic method of collecting feedback has resulted in an increase in feedback response rate, reduction in administrative workload and a reduced carbon footprint. We also discuss other QR code-based innovations currently being implemented in this setting.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Medical student clinical clerkship evaluations provide feedback for growth and contribute to the clerkship grade and the student’s residency application. Their importance is expected to increase even more with the recent change of the US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 to a pass/fail designation. Timely completion of medical student clerkship evaluations is a problem. In this study, the authors aimed to increase the percentage of student evaluations completed by pediatric hospital medicine physicians within 14 days of assignment from 45% to 75% or greater using quality improvement (QI) methodology over a 1-year period (January through December 2021). METHODS The evaluation program generated reports every 2 months. Control charts were used to analyze the data. Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were performed. Interventions included education, baseline data knowledge, gamification, standardization, quarterly data updates, and weekly announcement of incomplete evaluations. Balancing measures included word count of narrative comments in the evaluation and percentage of clinical honors awarded. RESULTS Intervention implementation was associated with special cause variation of the primary outcome, with the average timely completion rate increasing from a baseline of 45% to 79%, which remained consistent during the 8-month sustainment period. Word count of narrative comments and percentage of honors designation had no special cause variation or shifts. CONCLUSIONS Using QI methods, timely completion of medical student clerkship evaluations was improved through several interventions, including weekly announcements of incomplete evaluations and gamification with quarterly recognition awards. QI methodology is an effective and practical way to improve timely completion of medical student clerkship evaluations.
