Inside the chart review.
The study on which this article is based was conducted at the University of North Carolina's Family Practice Center to analyze the content of teaching that occurred in the face-to-face chart review sessions. Data were collected from a sample of 276 chart reviews and processed by a microcomputer program that compiled reports of types of problems encountered by residents, topics of discussion pertinent to those problems, and learning needs defined as a result of those discussions. Reports were generated for faculty members nad residents, and summary reports were produced for the teaching encounters. This system of computerized data analysis can be used to identifying learning needs of residents and areas of teaching emphasis for faculty. The information can be used for educational planning and faculty development.
