Primary QAP Questions. |

Comment

QAP-online has created the concept of a Primary QAP question. Indicated by a symbol, the primary QAP question is the question used to produce reports on the staff and clinic QAP performance.
While this may be developed further in the future, at present there is only ONE QAP primary question per QAP Scheme. These are:
1. Embryology: Grade the embryo with a score between 1( very, very worst quality) and 100 ( very, very best quality) -{* see discussion about this below.}
2. Andrology:Sperm Morphology: Estimate the % normal forms
3. Andrology: Sperm Motility: Estimate the % Motility.
Each Primary QAP question is a numeric variable and the reporting features provide for:
1. Each staff member (either within a clinic or as an individual subscriber) can view how many Standard deviations from the mean their answer was for each occurrence of the question.
2. The QAP supervisor can assess each staff members response to each installment within a scheme either between each staff member ( Internal QAP) or against all subscribers.
3. The total schemes performance ( all installments/scheme) is currently under development.
* The concept of allocating a value between 1 and 100 to an embryo will appear foreign to most embryologists since most IVF labs use a 3-5 tier semi-descriptive scheme e.g. B+ or A-. Others use a numeric system of often up to 8-9 points. In reality, both schemes achieve a similar goal of grading an embryo [after all A+ to C- or D is a 9-10 point system. QAP-online has elected to use a 100 point system to essentially try to be independent of your local system and thereby better compare how each embryologist grades an embryo. Its advantage is that a variability in grading can be quantified and presented in a common format with other Primary questions such as in Andrology. |
