Pilot Testing
Once the storyboard was up,
members of the design team from TDH contacted physicians and statisticians
to review the information posted.
- First, we had people who attended one of our first meetings via phone
conferencing hookup:
- Dr. Harry Rosenberg, National Center for Health Statistics (Atlanta, GA)
- Dr. Donna Hoyert, National Center for Health Statistics (Atlanta, GA)
- Dr. Harry Wilson, Pediatric Pathologist (El Paso, TX)
- Dr. Priscilla Short, American Medical Association (Chicago, IL)
- These people, along with the following, also reviewed our web pages as
they went up and gave us feedback:
- Dr. Erik Svenkerud, Texas Department of Health (Austin, TX)
- Jola Edwards, Bureau of Vital Statistics Field Representative (Austin, TX)
- Dr. Philip Huang, Texas Department of Health (Austin, TX)
- Dr. Kate Hendricks contacted several epidimiologists during a conference
she attended who will be evaluating the site, including physicians from:
- Pan American Health Organization.
- The Australian Medical Association
- Mark Gregg contacted the author of two of our main references, who said
that he would like to evaluate that site:
- Dr. Randy Hanzlick, Center for Disease Control
Tryout Procedures and Setting-
- The Death Certificate CME is an online project, so all information delivery
and communication has been online:
- As webpages went up, Lynda Abbott kept an up-to-the-minute index online to which all reviewers could refer for updates about pages. The site included a link for giving feedback.
- As test items were developed, they were accessible through the index that Lynda created. We also have a sample of a final test up that requires a password for access. Write to Laurie Williams for the URL and password to access this quiz.
- Information was collected primarily online via email
- Faxes were sent and received
- Phone calls were received
- SME's interviewed local participants
