“…The checklist and graphic rating scales yielded highly valid ratings of the clinical effectiveness of the physicians in this sample. The validities obtained here are appreciably higher than the results of the previously cited study on specialists (Taylor et al, 1969). While the two studies are not comparable in several respects, the difference in their results may be partly attributable to the relatively numerous occasions over a year's time when the raters of the present study could observe the physicians at work.…”

The common procedure for evaluating individual physicians in hospitals and large clinics is a review and evaluation of their patients' records. Such records cannot give an overall assessment of clinical effectiveness whereas performance ratings can. Good rater acceptability and criterion validity (r = .75, p < .001, with work associate ratings) are reported for rating scales developed on a sample of 95 employed physicians.

“…In one approach, the rating of competence is considered a general and global index (Brumback & Howell, 1972;Taylor et al, 1969). This approach leads to a unidimensional concept of clinical competence.…”

Conceptualization and measurement of clinical competence of residents: a brief rating form and its psychometric properties

et al. 2002

Conceptualization and measurement of clinical competence of residents are of interest to medical educators. Yet there is a scarcity of operational tools with satisfactory psychometric support for measuring clinical competence. In this study, we investigated the underlying structure, criterion-related validity and alpha reliability of a brief rating form (20 items) developed to assess clinical competence of residents. The study sample consisted of 882 physicians (654 men, 228 women) in postgraduate training at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital between 1998 and 2000. Construct validity of the form was supported by factor analysis. Two relevant factors emerged: 'Knowledge, Data-Gathering and Processing Skills', and 'Interpersonal Skills and Attitudes'. Criterion-related validity was supported by significant linear associations between factor scores and performance on the medical licensing examinations. Alpha reliability coefficients for the two factors were 0.98 and 0.97, respectively. This brief rating form can be employed as one measure to evaluate clinical competence of residents with reasonable confidence in its measurement properties.
