iPad functionality: Documents go mobile   


We've rolled out our new module for automatic conversion of files to PDF, which converts approved documents into PDF format and organizes them in custom-defined folders for access by GoodReader (iPad) or botSync (Android). This new feature allows students to keep a synchronized library of course materials on their mobile devices.   

 

Advanced conflict resolution    

 

New features have been added to the conflict tracking and resolution module to monitor conflicts in staff and faculty assignment to events. This works in conjunction with our staff resource planner to help you allocate and account for staff assignments.

 

Knock, knock: Who's there?    


If your system does not use an external authentication mechanism (ex: LDAP, CAS, etc.) LCMS+ now offers internal user and password options to allow for differing levels of security, password complexity and encryption, including the ability for users to request a password reset.    

 

Clinical Skills Assessment upgrades     


We have added a critical action option to the CPX (clinical skills exam) system which allows you to merge exam results from student and standardized patients to form a comprehensive view of a student's performance. This allows the course director to specify critical action points (which are specific responses to a question) that can limit the overall score allowed within a category.  

 

Additionally, you can generate an r-Card that shows a student's performance by category (eg, physical history taking and interpersonal skills) and by SP case. The CPX system utilizes our integrated exam system with a specialized front end for SPs and students to pick the appropriate case as they progress through their clinical skills exercise.      

 

Have a feature you're interested in? There are too many to list here. Give us a call or email us - it may already be part of the LCMS+ solution.

The Osteopathic Medical Education Leadership Conference will take place in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, from January 12-14, 2012. "Designed to be a forum for educators and leaders in osteopathic medical education to come together to exchange information and ideas," it's also an excellent opportunity to run off to Florida in the dead of winter.
