The SP Performance Assessment panel located on the Activity Reporting Setup page can be used for determining
- the required number of SP observations that should be submitted for the activity by Observers
- how some information on the SP Performance Assessment Reports should be displayed
Important
Any changes made in the Observation Requirements or other settings—regarding the display of scores or learner names—have to be saved by clicking Save at the bottom of the page.

Observation Requirement is the percentage or number of simulated patient encounters portrayed by a Standardized Patient (SP) that are required to be evaluated by an Observer within an activity to assess the performance of some or every SP featured in the activity.
You can set up the required number of observations by
- selecting the percentage of required observations out of the total encounters of the activity
- selecting the percentage of required observations out of the total encounters of each SP
- selecting the number of required observations of each SP's daily encounter count
If the percentage or the number of the required SP observations is below the maximum amount of patient encounters—below 100% or the total number of encounters—saved under the name of the activity, the system selects encounters randomly for Observers to evaluate.
Encounters Selected for Observation
An encounter is only eligible for SP observation if the conditions are met for setting up Inter-rater Agreement or the SP Performance Assessment Checklist.
So, whenever the Observer user opens the SP Performance Assessment - Post-Encounter Observations page, the list of Encounters to Observe will be populated with the exact number of randomly selected encounters set up at the Observation Requirements.
