Dear all,
I am working on back pain in german primary health care.
Part of my project is, to assess doctors´examination skills, but I
can´t think of any workable and valid evaluation method, without
provoking selection bias by including those doctors who feel
capable enough in assessing patients´ functional status to take
part in that study.
I could use standardized patients, but I am reluctant to do that,
because of its possible consequences on our department´s
relationship to general practitioners.
Has anybody got an idea or experiences in assessing doctors´
examination skills? Any literature which could help me on?
Thanks for your time!
Best regards
Annette
