Assessment of the QAP. |

It is recognize that there is no correct answer when visually assessing an image. Yet for many professionals, it is their "assessment" of embryo quality or ultrasound image which forms the basis of their professional experience.
The scheme seeks to support such experience by asking subjective answers on the appearance a particular features of the subject of the image or question. E.g.
what is the degree of fragmentation of an embryo?
what type of sperm abnormality is present?
is this ovary polycystic?
The response of submitting answers to the QAP scheme is limited because it is non-numeric. In such situations, each professional may use their own terminology to describe their observations. Assessment of variable answers present significant problems.
To overcome these potential problems, each question will have a series of preset answers attached. In this way, the scheme can identify the number of responders who selected the same option. The value is then expressed as a percent of all responders.
The initial attempt by QAP-online to provide a subscriber with a measure of their "performance" over time will be to calculate an average percentage for all questions for a selection. The mean percentage will attempt to reflect the incidence with which a subscriber concurs with other subscribers. Although each question may have a variable number of options, all subscribers will have attempted the same questions. It is acknowledged that each subscriber may view the image slightly different depending on their Internet/computer system ands their own experience e.g. if a sperm is shown with one type of stain and the subscriber uses a different stain, then their experience will differ to others who routine use the same cellular stain as in the image.
A small space for feedback will be available to provide QAP-online with information to improve the service. Please use this space since information received will be used to improve the nature of the questions and preset options. |
