Deliver OSCEs the way you need
Setting up and running OSCE examinations can be complicated and stressful. With different clinical scenarios, plus the allocation of candidates and examiners to different stations to consider – it can be a logistical nightmare.
The eSystem removes the complexity of running clinical skills assessments. It’s intuitive interface makes it simple to set up eOSCEs with as many candidates, stations and examiners (including multiple examiners for the same candidate at the same station) as you need. And the event tagging functionality allows you to run OSCEs over multiple days, circuits, sessions and locations.
The blueprinting features ensure its simple to check that learning outcomes and clinical scenarios are covered.
During the assessment, examiners enter the candidates mark into a secure web interface on a tablet. This can be done online (providing visibility and assurance the exam is progressing and data is being captured) or, if Wi-Fi is not available, via our offline app.
The app stores the information until the tablet is online again. In addition, there’s the benefit of a review screen at the end of the exam so the examiner can review all stations and check they haven’t omitted anything.
The eSystem’s flexibility makes it possible to easily deliver OSCEs in a way that best suits you.
