Rating Scales

To use supervisor and procedure forms and certain item types, an organization needs to have rating scales in place. Elentra includes several default rating scales but organizations can also add their own.

There are three types of rating scales: default, Global Assessment and MS/EC which stands for Milestone Scale /Enabling Competency. There is no user interface to modify the scale types and both Global Assessment and MS/EC are used on form templates including supervisor and procedure form templates.

There is a user interface to manage rating scales but only System Administrators and users with Medtech>Admin group and role can modify the available scales. Note that scales are applied to an entire organization and can be accessed by multiple programs.Managing rating scales is part of the Assessment and Evaluation module; please see additional help resources here.

Note that as of ME 1.14, when a new rating scale is added by an organization there is some developer work that must be completed to make the rating scale available on form templates. If you are a developer, please see the resource below.

Auto-populated Item Text in Global Rating Scale Selector

Elentra is designed to automatically populate the item text when you select a global rating scale. Using different scales will result in different questions populating the form. See examples below.

O-Score scale selected - note the Item Text is now populated

There is no user interface to configure the item text used with each scale. This is controlled through the database; if you need to create a scale and will be using it as a global rating scale please speak to your project manager or a developer.
