MeasurePM has multiple program Measurement Types available for selection when configuring instructional programs. Each Measurement Type is associated with a unique set of program configuration options and its own data collection interface. Please refer to the guide below for additional details on configuring Time Sampling programs, and how to record and review data.
Time Sampling Configuration
MeasurePM has multiple program Measurement Types available for selection when configuring instructional programs. Each Measurement Type is associated with unique set of program configuration options and its own data collection interface. Please refer to the guide below for additional details on configuring Time Sampling programs, and how to record and review data.
Program Library
Like any other program Measurement Type, Time Sampling programs must first be set up in the Program/Goal Library. Note that creating new programs and editing existing programs within the library is permission based, therefore only authorized users will have to ability to do so.
To create a new program, select the "+Add Program" button located above the Program Library Table.
From here, select "Time Sampling" as the Measurement Type. The subsequent configurations will be unique to Time Sampling. To configure an existing program as Time Sampling, select the edit icon (i.e., pencil) for that program of interest and then change the Measurement Type.
Once Time Sampling has been selected, proceed with establishing the Interval Specifications.
- Interval Type: Choose the interval type to be displayed on the data collection screen for the providers to see when taking data
- Whole Interval
- Partial Interval
- Momentary Time Sampling
- Interval Duration: How long the interval timer will be set to
- Interval Count: Establishing a minimum number and maximum number of intervals that should/can be scored by the provider running the program. Note, the minimum will default to a value of 1, but this can be modified. Configuring a maximum number of intervals is optional.
The success criteria for Time Sampling programs is automatically set to Percentage of Occurrence.
After all program configurations have been made, select the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen.
Client Clinical Profile
The configurations for newly mapped (a.k.a "added") Time Sampling programs or existing programs modified as Time Sampling will be identical to those available from the Program Library. If needed, the success criteria can be modified (e.g., enabled/disabled, modifying already configured criteria) at the client level. Like all other Measurement Types, only In Progress and Maintenance Targets will be available for data collection on the Mobile-App. For Time Sampling, however, only 1 target may be In Progress or in Maintenance at a time.
As in the Program Library, configurations include Interval Type, Interval Duration, and Interval Counts (see above). Additionally, the success criteria is automatically set to Percentage of Occurrences.
Mobile-App
Users can also configure programs at the client level on the Mobile-App. To do so, navigate to Programs within a clinical profile. Note, programs can also be mapped to a Client Clinical Profile from the App via the Program Library tab.
Using the Mobile-App to edit program settings is also permission based, meaning only authorized individuals will have the ability to do so. Once the permission has been turned on/granted, select the edit icon (i.e., lock) in the top right-hand corner of the program that requires modification.
To change the Instructional Strategy/Measurement Type to Time Sampling, tap on the associated drop-down menu and select Time Sampling. From here, the configurable options available are consistent with those on the web (see above).
Recording and Committing Time Sampling Data
Data Collection Screen
To record Time Sampling data, select the play button to initiate the interval timer. At the end of each interval a square will become available for scoring. Tapping the square once will place a +. Tapping it a second time will turn it to a -. Tapping it a third time will remove the score. Providers are NOT required to score the intervals. Unscored intervals will be discarded when the data is committed. Note, if a maximum number of intervals is configured, blank/unscored intervals are counted as part of the maximum value and the interval timer will stop running. For example, if the maximum is set to 10, the timer will stop running once 10 intervals (6 scored and 4 unscored) have elapsed.
If the "set Interval count" setting is configured, the Commit button will be gray until the required intervals have been met, at which point it will turn green to signal Committing is available.
If data is not being taken in-vivo, you can add data in bulk by selecting the pencil icon. Here intervals are scored in the same manner as when collecting data directly from the data recording screen (i.e., cycle through the scored values by tapping on the square).
Collecting and committing Time Sampling data is also supported in Offline Mode. Please refer to the following guide for additional information on running offline appointments: Mobile-App Offline Mode
Committing Time Sampling Data at Rendering
When rendering an appointment, providers are given choices regarding the client's programs and behaviors.
- Commit Programs in Progress: If this checkbox is selected at rendering, any time sampling programs with existing data will be successfully committed. Note, only programs that have met the minimum number of trials will be captured here.
- Commit Programs with 0 Duration, Frequency and Rate: Due to the nature of Time Sampling data collection, programs with measurement types of Time Sampling will not be available for committing at 0.
Reviewing Committed Time Sampling Data (Mobile-App)
SOAP Notes and Appointment History
Time Sampling program data is displayed in both the Mobile-App SOAP Notes and via the Appointment History page, with a percentage occurred value.
Program Data
Raw program data can be viewed via the Program Data tab and will appear as shown in the image below, reflecting each scored interval and its data.
While the same data is reflected on the Web, the raw data can only be edited via the Mobile-App. Note, this capability is permission based. To edit historical data, select the lock icon then proceed with making changes. Once changes are made, a "Commit Changes" button will appear. Selecting this will ensure that all edits are permanently saved.
To delete all recorded data, select the lock icon followed by the red "Delete" button located beside the interval table. To proceed with discarding the data, select OK on the warning pop-up.
To add a new set of data, select the "Add New Program Data" button, select an appointment and proceed with recording and committed the data from there. To save recorded data, ensure the "Commit Changes" button is selected.
Graph Data
Time Sampling data can be viewed via the Graph Data tab. To generate either of these graphs, select the gear icon, then make the appropriate selection from the Graph Type dropdown. The following graphs are available for Time Sampling programs:
Reviewing Committed Time Sampling Data (Web-App)
Graph Data
Time Sampling based programs can be accessed on the Web's graphing module like any other Measurement Types. The default Y- axis type selection will be percent occurred, however the other options are available as well.
SOAP Notes
Time Sampling data is displayed across SOAP Notes accessed via the Web-App, as shown below. Note, Program Data will only be displayed if it is an active SOAP Note Property.
SOAP Note Details Report
Time Sampling data can also be found in SOAP Note Reports, as shown below. Time sampling program data can be found in its respective % of intervals occurred column.
Program Summary Report
Time Sampling data can be accessed via Reports --> Data Reports --> Clinical --> Program Summary. The occurred (correct), not occurred (incorrect), and total percentage occurred is reported.
Appointment Summary Report
Time sampling data can be accessed via Reports --> Data Reports --> Clinical --> Appointment Summary. Each interval is considered a trial.
