Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Interrater reliability (videotaped resident-patient encounters)

    April-June 2006

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Rater accuracy (agreement with scripted levels of performance on videotaped resident-patient encounters): percent agreement, chance-corrected agreement, mean scores

    April-June 2006

  • Interrater reliability (actual resident-patient encounters)

    March 2005 (historical) to June 2007

Study Arms (2)
