Abstract
This study evaluated one commercially available clinical tracking system to determine its appropriateness for use within a school of nursing. Collecting documentation during undergraduate clinical experiences (e.g., type of patient care experience, diagnosis, skills completed, competencies met) is a challenging undertaking for students and faculty. Little research has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical tracking systems. A convenience sample of students and faculty completed an end-of-course survey that measured their satisfaction with the clinical tracking system. Statistically significant (p < .05) differences were found between students and faculty in several areas: utility, technical issues, capacity to identify regulatory body achieved competencies, and usefulness of records generated.There was also a statistically significant (p < .01) difference in overall satisfaction, with faculty much more satisfied with the system than students. The clinical tracking system was found by faculty and students to be user friendly. Faculty overall were more satisfied with the system than students.
