“…The first version of the MEDICORRECT tool was created from a literature review of similar instruments (Cazzell and Howe, 2012;Daupin et al, 2016;Davies et al, 2019;Goodstone and Goodstone, 2013;Sanko and Mckay, 2017). The most common errors mentioned in clinical guidelines on preventing medication errors (ASHP, 1993; NCMERP, 2018) (see Fig.…”

“…The medication administration safety assessment tool (MASAT) from the United States of America (US) is a binomial scale used to evaluate accurate medication administration performance (Goodstone & Goodstone, 2013). The researchers conducted a literature search of the "6 rights" of medication administration to develop the content and identify specific behaviours related to performing them.…”

Background: Tools currently available to evaluate nurse medication administration practices have limitations and are either not validated or have poor reliability. Aim: To identify criteria and content for inclusion in a tool to evaluate medication administration by nurses in the clinical setting, using an expert panel. Methods: A peer review process using an expert multidisciplinary panel rated the relevance of the content on three tools; Medication Administration Safety Assessment Tool, Medication with Respect Tool and Clinical Skills Assessment Tool, using a four-point rating scale. Expert opinion was provided on relevance of content, rating scales and frequency of nurse evaluation. The level of agreement was analysed by item content validity index, mean item content validity index, mean expert proportion, scale content validity index with universal agreement, probability of chance agreement and a modified kappa rating. Qualitative themes were also reviewed. Findings: The item and scale content validity index and the kappa index both rated the Medication Administration Safety Assessment Tool and Clinical Skills Assessment Tool as excellent. For the Medication with Respect Tool less than half of the item content validity index ratings rated as good and the kappa index rated as excellent, therefore the scale content validity did not achieve a good rating. Conclusions: The expert panel review identified items of high level of agreement for relevance and determined that content needed to be clear, concise, observable, generic and practical to be useful for all nurses. Self-evaluation, feedback and a developmental plan were also key criteria.

“…Those leading efforts to assess competency in the health-care professions face various challenges. Many types of clinical knowledge and applications as well as the demonstration of professionalism and skilled communication cannot be adequately assessed by paper-and-pencil tests (Boulet et al, 2003; Goodstone & Goodstone, 2013; Katz, Peifer, & Armstrong, 2010; Swanson & Stillman, 1990). Alternatively, observation-based forms of assessment may be used to measure competency in professional practice contexts that require the simultaneous use of critical thinking and psychomotor skills.…”

Using Generalizability Theory to Inform Optimal Design for a Nursing Performance Assessment

The promotion of competency of nurses and other health-care professionals is a goal shared by many stakeholders. In nursing, observation-based assessments are often better suited than paper-and-pencil tests for assessing many clinical abilities. Unfortunately, few instruments for simulation-based assessment of competency have been published that have undergone stringent reliability and validity evaluation. Reliability analyses typically involve some measure of rater agreement, but other sources of measurement error that affect reliability should also be considered. The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, using extant data collected from 18 nurses evaluated on 3 Scenarios by 3 Raters, we utilize generalizability (G) theory to examine the psychometric characteristics of the Nursing Performance Profile, a simulation-based instrument for assessing nursing competency. Results corroborated findings of previous studies of simulation-based assessments showing that obtaining desired score reliability requires substantially greater numbers of scenarios and/or raters. Second, we provide an illustrative exemplar of how G theory can be used to understand the relative magnitudes of sources of error variance-such as scenarios, raters, and items-and their interactions. Finally, we offer general recommendations for the design and psychometric study of simulation-based assessments in health-care contexts.
