Structure for QA Schemes |
| The
majority of QA schemes and education schemes are built around a define
hierarchy of tables. Essentially these areas follows |
|
Level
1
|
Groups |
|
|
This
is the major division. Examples are Embryology or Andrology. |
|
Level
2
|
Series |
|
|
Within

include Fragmentation, Pronuclear, Early Cleavage and Blastocyst Series
inside the Embryology Group. |

Schemes |
|
|
The
actual Quality Assurance scheme is a subset in a QA Series that
operates for a specific year. Thus One series is composed of a number
of QA Schemes. This is the basic scheme for subscription. For example
Sperm Motility 2007, Sperm Motility 2006, Sperm Motility 2005, etc
are all QA schemes inside the QA Series - Sperm Motility

Monthly
Instalments |
|
|
Each
QA scheme is composed of a number of instalments. Each instalment
has a specific date stamp that determines when participants may access
the questions inside it. Essentially each instalment contains an image
or equivelent object or text and a number of questions. Usually one
of the questions is a key QA question around which the whole QA series
is built. |

Questions |
|
|
Each
instalment contains a number of questions. A question may require
a numeric reply, may be a number of options, may be a measurement
questions ( eg for ultrasound), a true/false or right or incorrect
reply or a calculated question. |

It
sounds complicated but the advantage for users is that all schemes
operate the same way. So once you have mastered the first scheme,
all the rest sort of work the same way. EASY!! |
