Every EPA assessment initiated in Elentra has a 14-day expiry date associated with it. This was implemented in order to encourage more timely completion of EPA assessments and more accurate ratings of resident performance. This decision was made in consultation with key stakeholders, our Best Practices in Evaluation & Assessment (BPEA) committee, and in consideration of Elentra assessment completion analyses.
An EPA assessment therefore needs to be completed within 14-days of initiation, otherwise the assessment will become unavailable to both Learners and Assessors. The expiry date can be reset if needed, however, this function is only available to Program Directors and Administrators and should be used sparingly.
Please note: this enhancement was implemented on July 9th 2020. Thus, only EPA assessments triggered after this date will have an expiry.
You cannot reset the expiry date multiple times. You may only add an additional 7 days (i.e. 1 reset maximum) to an assessment. This ensures the timely completion and more accurate rating of resident performance.
After logging into Elentra, navigate to the Faculty tab on the Tasks & Results Dashboard.
There are two possible workflows for resetting expired assessments. We will walk you through both.
3. Navigate to the Current Tasks tab of the faculty’s Assessment Task page
4. You will see the expiry date listed on each assessment ‘card’, as indicated by the red arrow below. The initial expiry is set to 14 days from the date of initiation (i.e. the “Delivered on” date in the screenshot below) and not the selected date of encounter. To reset the expiry, select Reset Expiry in the assessment ‘card’, indicated by the blue arrow below.
5. Navigate to the Reset Expiry button located on the top right-hand side, above the assessment ‘cards’ to extend the expiry date by 7 days from the date of reset.
6. Select the Reset Expiry button to confirm that you want the assessment’s expiry date to be extended by 7 days from the date of reset*
*For example: If the expiry date for an assessment is July 29 and you reset the task expiry date on July 31, the new expiry will be August 7 (+7 days from the date you reset the task expiry).
All expired assessments for your program, can be viewed under the ‘Expiry Tab’. To find the expiry tab and reset expired assessments using this workflow, see steps below:
2. Go to the Expired tab under Assessments. You can reset these assessments by clicking on the assessment link (under the “task” column, as shown below) to open up the form
To delete expired multiple expired assessments, you can individually select each task that needs to be deleted by clicking on the box in the last column of the Expired tab and selecting the Delete Task(s) button.
