The existing tools for assessing the effectiveness of educational programs differ in the degree of effectiveness, applicability, and costs. The self-assessment method, which involves the determination of the level of expression of various qualities by students of educational programs before and after graduation. The method of assessing students' own competencies has significant limitations associated with social desirability. Nevertheless, the article analyzes the possibilities of using this method to assess the effectiveness of corporate educational programs. The results of using the self-assessment method to assess the effectiveness of corporate educational programs conducted in large organizations are presented. The possibilities and limitations of using various kinds of criteria for evaluating themselves by listeners are substantiated. The conclusion is made about the possibility of using the self-assessment method in the case of the focus of educational programs on the development of meta-competencies of managers. The article provides data on the assessment of learning outcomes, discusses the potential reasons for the differences obtained in the framework of projects, as well as the possibilities and limitations of using the self-assessment method to assess the educational effect of corporate training programs.

Background and Objectives: Chief resident leadership competencies are neither clear nor standardized. The goal of this project was to identify specific leadership skills for chief residents and to develop a self-assessment tool. Methods: Chief residents from 10 family medicine residencies participated in focus groups to identify leadership skills required to be an effective chief resident. The ideas generated by participants were grouped into 10 competencies and a self-assessment tool was developed. The tool has been used to help chief residents self-assess their leadership strengths and weaknesses, and to identify teaching priorities for biannual leadership workshops. Results: The self-assessment instrument was completed by 83 chief residents over 5 years. Mean ratings range from 3.19 to 3.57 on a 5-point scale (low to high competency). The self-ratings of residents starting their chief year compared to residents at the end of their chief year showed an increase in 9 of the 10 competencies. Conclusions: The leadership competencies are a useful tool to identify training priorities and to help chief residents or other leaders within a residency program identify skills for further development.

Abstract Background Several sets of standards aiming at improving access and quality of care for service users have been published in recent years. Certain standards focused on improving healthcare providers’ responsiveness to specific target groups. The general goal of this research was to improve organisations’ awareness of equity standards that are not focused on specific groups, but on all contributing factors that put vulnerable groups at risk of exclusion. The specific objective was to evaluate the degree of compliance with a set of equity standards in 52 health care organisations from 16 countries. Methods A self-assessment tool (SAT) was developed to allow healthcare organisations to measure their capacity to provide equitable care for service users. The SAT indicates the main areas that should be addressed: equity in policy; equitable access and utilisation; equitable quality of care; equity in participation; promoting equity. A cross-sectional survey addressing participants from pilot-organisations was used for data collection, concerning both the self-reported compliance score with the standards, as well as the additional information provided to support the score assigned. Data were analysed quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Results The findings confirm that healthcare providers do invest in improving equity in the access and delivery of services to vulnerable groups. However, many health organisations have inadequate strategies to address inequities and are insufficiently engaged in improving equity in participation and promoting equity outside the organisation. Conclusions The participating organisations reported a significant impact from use of the self-assessment tool: some received the support from regional/national authorities to continue working on improving equity in healthcare; others linked the equity standards to existing performance-measurement strategies; others invested in new frameworks to improve service users engagement. Key messages The implementation of the SAT contributes to a self-reflective process, involving health professionals and managers, in which gaps and potential improvements are identified. Pilot organisations utilised the SAT as part of a process of increasing their awareness of equity issues and changing their organisational culture.

Dealing with health information and taking care of one’s own health are key aspects of health literacy and a difficulty for nearly half of the population in Europe. Limited health literacy often results in poorer health outcomes. Health literacy is a fundamental health determinant, and its improvement provides great potential for addressing public health challenges. Health care organizations play an important role in improving population’s health literacy. Health literate health care organizations facilitate access, understanding and use of health information and decrease the demands and complexities of the health care system. Few efforts have been taken so far to promote organizational health literacy, especially in German-speaking countries. This project aimed at developing a self-assessment tool, which enables primary care organizations to assess and improve their level of health literacy. The self-assessment tool was developed and evaluated with general practitioners and community care organizations in Switzerland. Here the participative development process, outcomes and the three modules of the self-assessment tool are presented: (1) manual with detailed introduction and instruction, (2) checklist for self-assessment of organizational health literacy and (3) handbook with measures for improvement. The aim of this tool is that organizations are able to identify the need for action, plan and implement improvement measures.

Project Title

Abstract Considering the small scale of creative tourism, the limited resources in any specific case, and the high engagement level of stakeholders, a self-assessment exercise (i.e. carried out by the organizers/promoters of creative tourism activities) is most appropriate in order to monitor activities and results. Thus, within the CREATOUR ® project, a self-assessment process for creative tourism initiatives was developed, beginning with an initial diagnosis and proceeding to an assessment of outcomes and impacts. The process and tools were co-developed between researchers and practitioners to help various types of creative tourism organizers to measure, monitor, and evaluate the course of their activities in order to improve management and decisionmaking processes. The main objective was to assist practitioners and stakeholder organizations to become more aware of the intentional and unintentional effects generated by creative tourism activities, highlighting the potential benefits of artistic, cultural, and creative experiences for territorial development. This article is divided into three parts: part I outlines the development of the self-assessment process and tools; part II presents a synthesis of overall findings from the CREATOUR ® project resulting from this self-assessment process; and part III lists take-aways for practitioners.

BACKGROUND (-) OBJECTIVE COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the implementation of telehealth solutions in medicine. This paper demonstrates our experiences with the COVID-19 Risk Assessment Tool. We tried to determine who is the user of the web-based COVID-19 triage application and compare this group with the patients of the infectious diseases ward’s admission room to evaluate who could benefit from implementing the COVID-19 online symptom checker as a remote triage solution. METHODS We have analyzed the answers of more than 650 000 people interacting with an online WHO-based triage tool for assessing the probability of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on the presented symptoms, risk factors, and demographics, the tool has assessed if the user’s answers are suggestive of COVID-19 and recommended appropriate action. Subsequently, we have compared “patient profiles” of tool users with patients admitting to the Infectious Diseases Admission Room. RESULTS COVID-19 Risk Assessment tool tended to be used by asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic individuals, which constituted 70.58% of all users. The majority of users were young (67.30% were below 40 years of age) and without significant comorbidities. On the contrary, most admission room patients were symptomatic - symptoms like fever, cough and dyspnea were prevalent in both covid positive and negative patients. COVID-suspected patients in the self-assessment tool presented similar COVID-19 symptoms as those who presented to the admission room. These were: cough (66.51% in self-assessment tool, 59.48% in the admission room, P=.03), fever (57.79% in the self-assessment tool, 62,93% in the admission room, P=.13), and shortness of breath (8.73% in the self-assessment tool vs. 37.50% in the admission room, P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The self-assessment COVID-19 tool, as it served as the means of screening and self-education, did not substitute for the consultation in the admission room for symptomatic patients. It seems that these types of solutions may serve as health information hubs for oligosymptomatic individuals, as well as a way of identifying and advising patients at risk. It fulfils the idea of remote, pre-clinical triage, however, the accuracy and influence on healthcare must be examined in the clinical setting.

The article deals with the more significant theoretical and practical aspects of primary school pupils’ self-assessment achievements: the concept, the purpose and significance of promoting self-assessment, opportunities of primary school pupils’ self-assessment. The results of the exploratory research are presented: the attitude of primary school pupils, their parents and teachers towards the self-assessment of the pupils of this age. The object of the research – the attitude of primary school pupils, their parents and teachers towards the self-assessment of learning achievements. The aim of the research – to examine the attitude of primary school pupils, their parents and teachers towards the self-assessment of learning achievements. The quantitative research was done in February 2012 at secondary schools: Vilnius Ateities High School, Švenčionys Primary and High Schools aiming to find out the attitude of teachers, students and parents towards the assessment of learning outcomes and self-assessment in primary education. Research instrumentation formed: surveys for teachers, students and their parents. Research scope: 70 surveys for teachers, 70 for students and 70 for students’ parents were formed and distributed. The received reversibility quota reached 100 %. The research showed that the assessment of learning outcomes is important and significant to all members of educational process (students, parents and teachers). Besides, parents feel that they are able to participate in the assessment together with teachers and they want to be considered as their partners. Thus all the above mentioned members / partners of the educational process should be included into the process of the assessment of students’ progress and achievements. The basis of the assessment of learning achievements and progress in primary education is the self-assessment of students. It is an interesting, human and effective way of assessment that allows children to lead their own learning by their selves with responsibility, to be equitable partners of teachers and personally observe their own progress. The main participants of the education (learning) process (pupils, their parents and teachers) acknowledge that primary school pupils are capable to evaluate their learning achievements. Teachers are the most optimistic about the self-assessment of the pupils of this age, meanwhile parents are the most pessimistic. Most of parents and teachers of primary school pupils understand the pupils’ self-assessment as a method of developing pupils’ responsibility for their learning. Parents of primary school pupils much rarely than teachers relate the self-assessment with the education of the pupil as an equal teacher’s partner and with the education of the pupil who is capable to manage his/her learning on his / her own. Only a minority of parents of primary school pupils accept the idea that pupils of this age are capable to manage their learning on their own. The answers of primary school pupils and teachers indicate that primary school pupils are allowed to evaluate themselves, however, students’ self-assessment is now associated with the generalizing assessment. The daily learning is related to teacher’s evaluation rather than students’ self-assessment.
