and whether it is worth the effort, time, planning, training, and mostly importantly cost, for the organization to implement any of these new technologies. The assignment will consists of four major parts; prototyping environments and processes, testing design to include procedures and standards, sources of accessibility, and integration. A business case for investment will be made in favor
a variety of chronic diseases that can be used commonly across different research projects. In other words, the goal is to standardize the measurement of symptoms and function using precise, valid item banks and their applications. Computer adaptive tests (CAT) have also been developed through PROMIS with relevance to many pediatric and adult subjects. Historically, patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in clinical research have very little consistency. Investigators often use varying questionnaires
help all kids learn®, informs all aspects of our work.” (NWEA, 2014) Founded in 1977 in Oregon and Washington State, NWEA’s scholars were Allan Olson, George Ingebo, and Vic Doherty. (NWEA, 2014) The association was dedicated to build a new kind of testing system to measure and track an individual student’s educational level and growth. Over the decades, NWEA has grown from a collaboration of 14 school districts to a global organization. Today, their products and services support educators and their
individual’s potential performance in the military. Also, tests like The Army Classification Battery and the Navy Basic Test Battery were used to classify recruits into service specific jobs. In 1968, the ASVAB was introduced as a part of the Student Testing Program. The Air Force was the first to use the ASVAB in 1973, followed by the Marine Corps in 1974. However, the Army and Navy did not adopt the ASVAB until 1976, after the Department of Defense decided that all Services should use it for the purpose
Nurse licensure is the process by which various regulatory bodies, usually a Board of Nursing, regulate the practice of nursing within its jurisdiction. The primary purpose of the nurse licensure is to grant permission to practice as a nurse after the applicant has met minimal competencies showing that they are able to safely perform activities within nursing’s scope of practice. Licensure is necessary when the regulated activities are complex, and require specialized knowledge and independent decision
Glossary of Terms Accommodations –adaptations to presentation or setting that can typically and easily occur in general education – they do not involve modifying the material content but do allow students to receive information in a more effective manner. Assistive Technology Device – any item, piece of equipment, or product system whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain or improve the functional capabilities of a person with a disability
Oncology provides a hub of opportunity for research on Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). Cancer patients experience many symptoms and losses of functional ability which may not be measurable with tests or imaging procedures. Osoba, 2011 states that it is necessary to rely on patients self-reporting. In Oncology there is a wide scope of clinical settings in which PROMs can be measured. This can be adjuvant treatment or primary treatment with intent to cure or even palliative treatment (Osoba
