Establishment Of Military Continuing Medical Education Credits Dynamic Management Software

Objective:The situation of the management of continuing medical education in military were taken into consideration, this eassy tried to build the functional indicators of Military Continuing Medical Education Credits Dynamic Management Software,which could provide theoretical guides for the design of the software.The establishment of the functional indicators accelerated the pace of the army office information, promoted the further development of military transformation.Methods:After literature referring and group discussion method,we came to the initial framework of the information platform module content in the software.The Delphi method was adapted to cousult 30 experts that came from medical education,administrative management, medical research and medical information management.Two rounds of expert advisory were conducted in all.In the survey, the experts scored the the importance of indexes.Importance assignment into very important(5 points),important(4 points), general(3 points), unimportant(2 points), very unimportant(1point). Experts also asked to fill in the basic information, familiarity and judgment on the basis of the questionnaire. Judgments were divided into five levels which included very familiar(1.0), familiar(0.8), general(0.6), familiar(0.4), very familiar(0.2).Experts were judged by theoretical analysis, work experience, literature,subjective judgments,and scored themselves according to their own situation,and proposed amendments to index content. After the first round of consultion,the questionnaires were collected.The content of indexes were modified according to the expert group rates and amendments,which came to the second round of consultation questionnaire. The second round of consultation questionnaire was on the basis of the detailed, comprehensive feedback of the first round. Experts were invited for further guidance and recommendations, and determine the final indexes.Indicators selection criteria was that the comprehensive score mean of the importance and feasibility assignment≥3.50 and variation coefficient≤0.25,as wellas combining with experts’ advices.For statistical analysis,we adopted Excel2003,SPSS 17.0 statistical software.Questionnaire recovery rate(%) reflected the positive coefficient of experts,authority degree of experts was determined by authoritative coefficient,coordination of experts’ opinions is indicated by Kendall.Results:The positive coefficient of two-round consultation was 100%. The average authoritative coerffcient of experts was 0.97.Variation coerfficient ranges from0.070~0.197 in the second consultion, there was statistical significance in the test(P<0.05). After two rounds of expert consultation, according to the importance assigned mean ≥ 3.5, the coefficient of variation principle ≤ 0.25 screening, a total of 4secondary indicators and 12 thrid-level indicators were being modified.And 1first-level indicators, 2 second-level indicators and 10 thrid-level indicators were added. After 2 rounds of consultion, we determined 5 first-level indicators, 15second-level indicators, 47 thrid-level indicators.The first-level indicators were information management, systems management, credit management, dynamic information and remote management.Conclusion:1. Delphi method was used to build the functional indicators of Military Continuing Medical Education Credits Dynamic Management Software, which including 5 first-level indicators, 15 second-level indicators, 47 thrid-level indicators.2. Delphi method is reliable to be used for screening the functional indicators of Military Continuing Medical Education Credits Dynamic Management Software.3. Construction of functional modules provided a theoretical basis for the design of Military Continuing Medical Education Credits Dynamic Management Software.
