The Use of Objectives and Feedback in a Competency-Based Curriculum

Author(s):  
Christina Marie Steier

The chapter will synthesize concepts of human performance improvement/human performance technology (HPI/HPT) in the development of curricula that are competency-based. HPT-related curriculum elements are traced backwards from impact to input using the W. K. Kellogg foundation logic model to ensure alignment with the goals of the educational program. The use of learning and performance objectives along with timely and corrective feedback will be instrumental in the design and delivery of the competency-based curriculum. The competency-based curriculum is discussed in reference to principles of andragogy and aligned to accepted learning theories. Evaluation of the curriculum or educational program is instrumental to aligning for student success and is discussed in detail.

The current case study is situated within a large, land grant hospital located in the Midwestern region of the United States. Although the physicians had seen an increase in medical related human performance technology (HPTs) within the organization (e.g. computer physician ordered entry) some challenges remained as the hospital sought to improve the productivity of the electronic health record (EHRs). Specifically, physicians had difficulty finding information embedded within the chart due to usability problems and information overload. To overcome the challenges, a semantic search within the chart was implemented as a solution for physicians to retrieve relevant results given the conceptual semantic pattern. The case study will discuss many elements of the implementation based on our experience and feedback from clinicians. The case will specifically highlight the importance of training and change agents within an organization.
