Evaluation of Training Programme of Service Doctors and Trainees (FMT)
Evaluation of the Hospital Authority Resource Allocation Exercise - Training
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of training of the Resources Allocation Exercise (RAE) training programme for higher trainees (HT) and service doctors (SD) in the Hospital Authority (HA) using an evidence-based structured and comprehensive evaluation framework to identify areas for quality enhancement.
Design, Setting and Subjects: A longitudinal study will be conducted using the Action Learning and Audit Spiral methodologies to measure whether the target standard of training intended by the RAE training programme is achieved. Each cluster coordinator will be invited to complete a questionnaire on structure and process of training. All eligible HT and SD will be invited to complete a questionnaire on the process of training and their training and education background. All HT and SD will also be included in the evaluation on the outcomes of training programme.
Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcomes are the proportion of clusters that have satisfied each of the structure criteria, HT and SD who have reported the criterion process of training, and HT and SD who have rated the training programmes to be of educational value.
Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics on standard of training will be calculated. Regressions will be used to identify factors that are associated with quality of training.
Hypothesis: The quality of training of the RAE training programme will be determined. Areas of deficiency and possible areas for quality enhancement will be identified. The results of this study will provide empirical evidence on the quality of RAE training programme for HT and SD. It also provides information on the effectiveness of RAE training programmes for improving skills and knowledge of primary care doctors.
