Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining and displaying satisfied clinical competencies for a healthcare student in a computerized environment, the method comprising: receiving, via an input device, a request from at least one authorized user to access one or more records of the healthcare student; determining, via a processor, whether said authorized user has a proper security right to access the one or more records of the healthcare student; after determining that said authorized user has the proper security right, receiving, from said authorized user, a unit of academic time for the healthcare student; identifying, utilizing a first computer process, one or more clinical competencies for the unit of academic time to be satisfied by the healthcare student; storing the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied in an electronic academic record for the healthcare student; receiving in the electronic academic record, utilizing a second computer process, documentation of clinical care of one or more patients by the healthcare student from the one or more patient's electronic medical records, wherein the documentation of clinical care is received in the electronic academic record upon being documented in the one or more patient's electronic medical records by the healthcare student while treating the one or more patients; storing the documentation of clinical care in the electronic academic record for the healthcare student upon receiving the documentation from the one or more patient's electronic medical records, wherein the electronic academic record includes a list of one or more clinical competencies satisfied by the healthcare student based on the documentation from the one or more patient's electronic medical records while the healthcare student was treating the one or more patients, and a list of the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied by the healthcare student based on the documentation from the one or more patient's electronic medical records while the healthcare student was treating the one or more patients, wherein the one or more clinical competencies satisfied by the healthcare student are listed along with time and date of completion; filtering the electronic academic record to display only the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied by the healthcare student; determining if one of the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied by the healthcare student have been satisfied based on the documentation received in the electronic academic record from the one or more patient's electronic medical records upon being documented in the one or more patient's electronic medical records by the healthcare student while treating the one or more patients, wherein the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied by the healthcare student comprises multiple tasks, and the processor utilizes logic or rules to weigh tasks and determine a competency score of a number of tasks completed by the healthcare student; comparing current competency score related to the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied by the healthcare student to a minimum score, wherein the computer-implemented method generates a new request for the one or more clinical competencies to be satisfied by the healthcare student if the current competency score fails to meet said minimum score while keeping the current competency score in the electronic academic record; displaying, utilizing a third computer process, the one or more clinical competencies satisfied by the healthcare student, wherein the first, second, and third computer processes are executed utilizing one or more computing devices.
