The Learner record is the hub where all other data points are linked. Once a Learner record is created, roles can be assigned for orientation, the Learner record must be maintained with up-to-date information. Each data point can be used to analyze the success/impact of orientation efforts statistically. The full benefits of the Learning Center can be enjoyed if historical learners are added. While the evaluation data won’t be present, the tenure data and outcome data can be analyzed and considered against other factors.
- The Quick Links are highlighted yellow.
- Required data points are highlighted in blue.
- Learner Roles are highlighted in orange.
Several additional List Views display data that is connected or nested under this Learner’s Record:

- Leader Meetings
- Learner Evaluations (Daily & Formal) – individual results, the most recent are first.
- Preceptor Evaluations (Daily & Formal) – individual results, the most recent are first.
- Provider Evaluations – individual results, the most recent displayed first, update the comments to start with the name of the provider who submitted the evaluation.
- Clinical Development Grids and Knowledge Checks - results of these learning activities.
The Learner View screen contains links to each record that is related to this learner. Any Orientation Nurse user with privileges for this Affiliate/Role can review and edit the data on this screen or related record.
Leadership Users have a similar screen that summarizes the individual details contained in the evaluations called Leader Review. From this screen, they have access to current goals, Formal Evaluations, and summarized daily evaluations, along with several list views and helpful links.
Creating a new Learner record is done on the Learner Add view. Updating the details contained on this screen is done on the Learner Edit view. This view can be accessed by Orientation Nurse Users and Leadership Users if granted the privilege in the Configuration Record.

Unpublished Evaluations – List
The Orientation Nurse will receive an e-mail each time a new evaluation is received. This List View is linked in the message.
- Update each evaluation on the list to associate a preceptor and publish the evaluation to the Learner Public[3] and Leader Review pages.
- Clicking on and toggle the drop-down lists to a date-picker or a list of all preceptors respectively.
- By default, the column has a drop-down that includes the scheduled shifts that occurred proximate to the date the evaluation was created.
- If the Learner/Preceptor utilized the link that was sent to them in the reminder, that links the event_number into the evaluation (parameter: &e=##).
- Matching the and to the scheduled event.
- The week is calculated from the learner’s start date to the shift date. It re-calculates after a shift date has been adjusted.
- The Published column has three options:
- Published (visible to Learner/Preceptor),
- Hidden (default value, invisible to Learner/Preceptor),
- Archived (send the result to Recycle Bin).[4]
- Best Practice: The Orientation Nurse should complete maintenance once per week.
- Click when the desired rows have been updated. The event and evaluation records are updated accordingly.
For advanced editing (changing results, adding comments, hiding a previously published result, etc.) review the instructions on Evaluation View Edit.
Pending Evaluations – List
This is a list of events that should have a Daily Learner Evaluation associated. If learner evaluations were submitted by QR code, the pending evaluation needs to be matched or the Preceptor needs to be reminded to complete the evaluation.

Or open the individual event and resend the original evaluation reminder. Clicking the individual event title will open a new window that links to the Event View/Edit screen. This screen displays all the data points associated with the event and allows reminders to be sent until the requested evaluation or surveys are received.A message to remind the preceptor to submit their evaluation is highlighted yellow, and to remind the learner is highlighted blue. Clicking send manually re-sends the message that was automatically sent by the Event Convert Page.
Leadership Meeting – List
