The ability to extract data about mentor performance was an unexpected outcome of the software.

The original system
Before 2016 the system to manage Chiropractic Centre assessments (critiques) was paper-based. It was time-consuming, and intern feedback was often delayed. This method required considerable administration time and cost, entering and filing forms.
Now this digital system is being used to complete the 7500 critiques, saving considerable administration time and cost with no secondary data entry and returning feedback to interns within minutes.
How it works
How it works
-
1. iPadList Item 1
Mentor carries an iPad enabling them to critique interns at anytime during their shift.
-
2. Select Critique
The mentor logs in and selects the required intern and which of the 24 critiques is required.
-
3. Film or Critique
The mentor will either choose to film the critique via the app or choose to critique without filming.
-
4. Critique
By selecting the appropriate grading for each section: Competent or not yet competent, the mentor indicates how the intern performed.
-
5. Summary
On completion of the critique the mentor will then share a summary with the intern. The Summary is automatically sent to the students portal.
-
6. Video
The video of the critique is attached allowing the intern to review their performance and reflect on areas of required improvement.
Unexpected outcome
The NZ College of Chiropractic can now collect and extract data about their mentors' performances which has helped them improve mentor consistency and clinical outcomes.
