procID

The unique ID associated with each procedure in the procedural taxonomy (e.g. Inguinal hernia repair (open) =48)

evaluationID

The unique ID for that rater evaluation of that subject

programID

Unique ID for each program

creatorID

ID of person who created the PE 

raterID

The ID of the person who did the rating in this evaluation

raterFirstName

The first name of the rater (typically removed for research purposes but not for program-level quality improvement or reporting data)

raterLastName

The last name of the rater (typically removed for research purposes but not for program-level quality improvement or reporting data)

raterConsented

[Date of consent] if the rater consented (via the app) to have their data used for research purposes. "NA" if the rater declined to consent (via the app) to have their data used for research purposes.

subjectID

The ID of the person who was the subject of the rating in this evaluation

subjectFirstName

The first name of the subject (typically removed for research purposes but not for program-level quality improvement or reporting data)

subjectLastName

The last name of the subject (typically removed for research purposes but not for program-level quality improvement or reporting data)

subjectConsented

[Date of consent] if the subject consented (via the app) to have their data used for research purposes. "NA" if the subject declined to consent (via the app) to have their data used for research purposes.

raterRole

The role of the person who did the rating in this evaluation (either Attending or Trainee)

subjectRole

The role of the person who was the subject of the rating in this evaluation (either Attending or Trainee)

traineePGY

The Post-Graduate Year (PGY) of the trainee (whether rater or subject) at the time of this evaluation

traineeType

The type of trainee, i.e. CATEGORICAL, PRELIMINARY, or FELLOW

supervision

The Zwisch score assigned by resident from 1 to 4, where 4 is the most autonomy, or coded in increasingly more autonomy as ST (Show & Tell), AH (Active Help), PH (Passive Help), and SO (Supervision Only).

performance

The Performance score assigned by resident (from 1 to 5, where 5 is the most autonomy, or coded in increasingly better performance as CD, UP, IP, PR, and EP)

complexity

The complexity score assigned by resident (from 1 to 3, where 3 is relatively more complex)

procName

The name of the procedure

procStartTime

Day/Time person who created PE indicated the procedure started at.. Most users don't edit the default day/time. The default day/time is the "current" time when PE is created.

procStopTime

Day/Time when PE is submitted to the server (could be many days later if user is offline)

evalCompleted

Day/Time when user completed the ratings & clicked Submit

status

Evaluation Status. This will be COMPLETE if the rater completed the evaluation. If they marked it as having received it in error, it will be DECLINED. If the counterparty declined the evaluation in a way that suggested that the original evaluation was in error, then it will be marked ERROR. This field is useful to filter out those responses that do not meet inclusion criteria (generally always the ERRORS and, if you want paired data, also the DECLINED statuses–although the paired column is better for that).

statusDetails

Will give reason for ERROR status, if any

paired

 TRUE if both the attending and a trainee evaluated each other for a given caseID and procID dyad. This is a way to see if both parties evaluated each other.

day.program

 The calculated number of days since the first evaluation was recorded for this program.

week.program

 The calculated number of weeks since the first evaluation was recorded for this program.

date

 The date of the day on which the procedure took place

week

 An alternative format for the week during which the procedure took place (sortable)

month

An alternative format for the month during which the procedure took place (sortable)

seq.subject.all

The number of patient encounters for which this subject has received an evaluation up to and including the given observation (e.g. "this evaluation is the subjects nth evaluation")

seq.subject.procedure

The number of procedures of the same type for which this subject has received an evaluation up to and including the given observed procedure (e.g. "this evaluation of procedure X is the subjects nth evaluation of this procedure type")

subjectGender


Gender of the subject. Gender is entered by program administrator upon account creation. 0 = not known, 1 = male, 2 = female, 9 = not applicable.


raterGender

Gender of the rater. Gender is entered by program administrator upon account creation. 0 = not known, 1 = male, 2 = female, 9 = not applicable.

transcriptionText

A transcription of the audio feedback recording given to the trainee by the rater if one was recorded by the rater. "NA" if no feedback to the subject was provided.
