ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Written comments on encounter (i.e., feedback) cards have not been well studied. This study's purpose was to characterize written comments on encounter cards with space designated for an action plan.METHOD:
In 2006, 127 core clerkship students returned 5,356 cards. Written comments were coded into domains and for the presence of feedback and action plans. Congruence between student-completed checklist domains and written comment domains was determined.RESULTS:
Seventy-eight percent of cards had at least one intelligible comment. The mean number of domains per card was 1.8 (SD 1.0, range 1-9). Most cards (85%) had an action plan; fewer (54%) were specific. The prevalence of action plans in specific domains was about equal in instances when the student did and did not check the domain.CONCLUSIONS:
Action plans are found on encounter cards but are less frequently specific. Faculty development should consider targeting action plan development.
