Highlight |
• | Case study scenarios for surveillance were developed and distributed to infection preventionists of varying levels of experience. |
• | Item difficulty and item discrimination were applied to each question to determine validity of written scenarios. |
• | Results highlight that case studies developed by expert Ips may not elicit the intended response in a test group of individuals with vary experience and written scenarios can benefit from measurement and evaluation. |
Abstract |
Case studies are utilized for training on National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) healthcare associated infection surveillance definitions. Item discrimination and item analysis were applied to case studies to identify questions that most accurately assess infection preventionists (IPs) application of surveillance definitions.
