Developing an Interim Report-Radiography
2. Welcome and Navigation Instructions
2.1 Module Menu
Notes:
Welcome to the JRCERT module on “Developing an Interim Report” for Radiography programs. This module is
intended to provide you with some guidance on how to develop your Interim Report and what supporting
documents you should submit. There are a couple of ways to navigate this module. You can either go through in in
order of its entirety by clicking the “Next” button, or you can visit each Standard and objective by clicking on the
appropriate tab. For those of you who want a challenge, you may jump right to the “Knowledge Check” and take a
short quiz to test your knowledge on the requirements for an Interim Report. So go ahead, pick a starting point and
have some fun!

2.2 Difference between Self-Study and Interim Report
Notes:
What is an interim report? What are the required materials to be included? Let's discuss that further. As was already
mentioned, an interim report is required by programs that have earned the maximum award of eight years. So
what are the differences between a self-study and an interim report? During a continuing accreditation self-study,
all objectives identified in the Standards must be responded to, and then an onsite evaluation team is used to
validate the information that the program has provided. In contrast, the interim report addresses only thirteen
objectives and is reviewed by professional staff prior to submission to the Board of Directors for an award decision.
Therefore, the narrative and supporting documentation must provide clear substantiation that the program has
remained in continual compliance since the previous accreditation award four years prior.
Next, if there are concerns identified at the time of the site visit, they are detailed in the Report of Findings and you
have the opportunity to respond to the objective(s) cited and provide information to document compliance.
This opportunity does not exist with the interim report. The interim report is a retrospective review of the four
years since your last onsite visit and must document compliance with the select group of objectives identified in the
interim report. It is so important that you fully address all of the areas required in the interim report and this
module will provide guidance to assist in avoiding the most commonly occurring mistakes.
Published by Articulate® Storyline www.articulate.com
2.3 Board decisions
Notes:
Now comes the Board decision. For a continuing accreditation self-study, the Board has several award options.
If the Board believes a program has not documented compliance with one or more objectives, it may consider
making an award of less than eight years; for example, a five-year award with a progress report due to
document compliance with the Standards. Based on the progress report, the Board may extend the award to
the maximum eight-year, maintain the current award or reduce the award.
But for an interim report, the Board has only two award options, either maintain the eight-year award based
on the program’s documentation of continued compliance, or reduce the award from eight to five years if the
program has not documented continued compliance with the Standards. For this reason, it is very important to
make sure you write a descriptive narrative that directly addresses the pertinent objectives and provide
exhibits that clearly demonstrate that the program has remained in compliance.
2.4 How would you best describe your level of knowledge in the
preparation of an interim report?

4.5 Standard Four, Objective 4.4
Published by Articulate® Storyline www.articulate.com
Notes:
Standard Four, Objectives 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 address the area of student supervision in the clinical settings. Because
the interim report is a retrospective review of the program, it is important to note that you are required to submit
documentation for these three objectives that is a representative sampling, from each year since the program’s
last accreditation award.
Standard Four, Objective 4.4 assures that all medical imaging procedures are performed under the direct
supervision of a qualified radiographer until a student achieves competency. You are required to describe how the
direct supervision requirement is enforced and monitored in the clinical setting. You also need to submit
documentation that the direct supervision requirements are made known to students, clinical instructors, and
clinical staff. There are a variety of ways to capture this documentation and examples may include meeting minutes,
memos distributed to the appropriate parties, or sign-off sheets. You need to submit documentation that is a
representative sampling, from each year since the program’s last accreditation award, that provides assurance
that students, clinical instructors, and clinical staff are apprised of the direct supervision policy.
4.6 Standard Four, Objective 4.5
Notes:
Standard Four, Objective 4.5 then assures that medical imaging procedures are performed under the indirect
supervision of a qualified radiographer after a student achieves competency. You will need to describe how the
indirect supervision requirement is enforced and monitored in the clinical setting as well as submitting
documentation that the indirect supervision requirements are made known to students, clinical instructors, and

5.1 Standard Five Description
Notes:
Standard Five addresses assessment at the program level. How do you know your students are learning? Are there
areas for improvement? These questions and others are often considered when discussing assessing your students
and program. Let’s take a look at the specific objectives to be covered for Standard Five.
Published by Articulate® Storyline www.articulate.com
5.2 Standard Five, Objective 5.1
Notes:
Standard Five, Objective 5.1 assures the program has developed an assessment plan that, at a minimum, measures
the program’s student learning outcomes in relation to the following goals:
clinical competence
critical thinking
professionalism
and communication skills.
For this objective, you will need to upload a copy of your most recent assessment plan. Make sure your plan
includes the following items:
The previously identified goals, the associated student learning outcomes, measurement tools, benchmarks,
time frames, and the person responsible for the data collection.
Published by Articulate® Storyline www.articulate.com
5.3 Standard Five, Objective 5.4
Notes:
Standard Five, Objective 5.4 covers analysis and sharing of your student learning outcome and program
effectiveness data to foster continuous program improvement. This specific objective asks you to describe how the
program analyzes data collected from both student learning outcomes and program effectiveness in order to
identify areas for program improvement. Are the students applying radiation protection practices more effectively
their first year as compared to their graduating year? Are the employers satisfied with the graduates’ level of
professionalism? These are just a couple of questions you could pose when performing analysis of student learning
and program effectiveness. When writing your narrative, make sure to describe examples of changes that have
resulted from the analysis of both student learning outcome and program effectiveness data. Additionally, you need
to discuss how these changes have led to program improvement.
Secondly, you need to describe how the program shares its student learning outcome and program effectiveness
data with its communities of interest. It is fairly common to discuss credentialing examination pass rates or job
placement rates with your advisory committee, but remember you also need to share your student learning
outcome data analysis as well.
For assurance you need to upload a copy of the program’s actual student learning outcome and program
effectiveness data since the last accreditation award (usually four cycles of assessment). This data may be
documented on previous assessment plans or on a separate document. Additionally, you need to provide
documentation that student learning outcome and program effectiveness data has been shared with your
communities of interest. Finally, you need to upload copies of representative samples of the measurement tools
identified in the assessment plan.
Published by Articulate® Storyline www.articulate.com
5.4 Standard Five, Objective 5.5
Notes:
Program improvement is paramount to student success, and one way to accomplish this is systemic review of not
only the assessment data, but the assessment plan itself. A well designed assessment plan will yield the best data
results to assist in program improvement and ultimately student success. This is assured through Standard Five,
Objective 5.5 which requires programs to periodically evaluate its assessment plan to assure continuous program
improvement.
For this objective, you will need to describe how the evaluation of the assessment plan takes place. Questions that
could be addressed may include "Are the benchmarks high enough?" "Do the measurement tools effectively capture
the data that accurately reflects levels of student learning?"
Additionally, you are required to upload documentation that the assessment plan has been evaluated at least once
every two years. Typically, meeting minutes document this process.
