About E*Value

What is E*Value? E*Value is a web-enabled application developed by Advanced Informatics. It’s designed to automate many tasks that we used to perform manually.

What can I do using E*Value? Here’s a partial list …• Create & maintain a personal online portfolio• Review clinical skills performed by students• Complete evaluations about students, preceptors, etc• Review evaluations completed by you and by others• Create forums that students can use to share experiences

Many functions are

under construction.

You will be notified as

they are rolled out.

Who enters data into E*Value?

YOU DO …

Links on your E*Value Home Page will bring you to activities that you need to completeand/or review as well as activities that you may access at your discretion.

For some activities (like evaluations), E*Value also generates an automatic e-mail alert (with a link). For example, you may receive an alert that an evaluation is pending (ready for you to complete), completed by a student (ready for your review), and so on.

Is E*Value easy to use?

Yes, E*Value is very user-friendly. Data entry is based on actions that most users are already familiar with.

For example … • Text entry mimics MS Word. • Selecting items from a drop-down list requires a simple ‘point & click’. • Docs and .pdf images can be uploaded using a ‘browse’ feature.

What if I make a mistake? No problem. You can cancel or delete most data entries in E*Value. If you run into a snag, call your E*Value Administrator.

My E*Value account

You are assigned to a Home Program (BSN, Masters, DNS/DNP)that reflects the program you’re likely to work in most often. Many faculty users are linked to more than one program.

Keeping your data secure. E*Value uses SSL encryption to ensure that data transmitted over the Internet can’t be intercepted or decoded by others.

Controls are also in place to ensure that other E*Value users can’t view information about you unless they’ve been given access by your E*Value Administrator.
