An Event-based Approach to Measurement: Facilitating Observational Measurement in Highly Variable Clinical Settings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Translational research in medical education requires the ability to rigorously measure learner performance in actual clinical settings; however, current measurement systems cannot accommodate the variability inherent in many patient care  environments. This is especially problematic in emergency medicine, where patients represent a wide spectrum of severity for a single clinical presentation. Our objective is to describe and implement EBAM, an event-based approach to measurement that can be applied to actual emergency medicine clinical events.

Methods

We used a four-step event-based approach to create an emergency department trauma resuscitation patient care measure. We applied the measure to a database of 360 actual trauma resuscitations recorded in a Level I tra
