1. Associating your notes to VC3 problems
 You have been asked to reach mastery in evaluating 25 core
problems across your clinical experiences.
 KM Learning Portfolio captures all of your notes in StarPanel.
This provides an excellent means to track exposure to each
presenting problem.
 This module instructs you in how to associate your notes to VC3
presenting problems.

2. Three ways to associate your note
There are three mechanisms for associating your notes to VC3 problems.
 First, the system automatically grades and associates relevant notes written using
StarNotes; the system does not automatically grade notes written using StarForms.
Notes graded if use StarNotes. Notes not graded if use StarForms.
FAQ:
What clerkships routinely use StarForms? Psych and Ob/Gyn
Any exceptions? The system grades some StarForms used in Internal Medicine.
What does all this mean? If you use a StarForm template, you will have to associate that
note to VC3 yourself and not rely on the system to do it for you. If you use a StarNote
template, you’ll receive an email once a week re notes graded to be relevant by the system.

3. Three ways to associate your note
 The second way to associate your note is to do so right after
writing the note in StarPanel.
 The next 2 slides show how this is done.

4. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
In StarPanel, you can also associate your note to VC3 topics by clicking
the yellow pull down menu to the right.

5. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
The number of notes associated with each VC3 problem will
appear here.

6. Three ways to associate your note
 The third way to associate your note is to go to your portfolio of
notes and perform searches on each VC3 topic.
 This can be done periodically.
 The next 7 slides show how this is done.

7. Marking Notes as Examples of VC3 Problems
The first step is to find your home page on Portfolio
Next: Click on Learning Objectives

8. Summary of VC3 Problems in Clinical Notes
Here is a list of the 25
learning objectives.
Prior notes you have recorded (or recorded by the system
for you) are listed here.
Next click on finding matching
notes to see all the notes that
contain key abdominal pain
concepts.

9. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
These are notes that match for concepts of abdominal pain.
Click here to get more room to see the table.

10. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
Look through the table. You see your patient, the note,
whether it was recorded as a case of abdominal pain, the
concepts of abdominal pain found in the notes, the hits, the
score (google-type scoring system we created), and the
sections of the note in which the concepts are found.
If you confirm that this case was concerned with important
concepts of abdominal pain, you may click record and this
note will be added to list of notes recorded for abdominal
pain.

11. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
Scroll through these pages and record cases that are
associated with abdominal pain

12. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
Notes that you associate with abdominal pain appear on your
list of Events Recorded for abdominal pain.
Next search for matching notes for abnormal vaginal
bleeding. Record notes that associate with this topic. Then
do the same for the other VC3 topics.

13. KM Template for MCT Individual Meetings
As you record cases, your dashboard will be
updated on your home page.

14. Last question
 Last question: should I associate all my notes I write?
 Though not a hard-fast rule, for each patient to whom you are assigned
and asked to write notes, you should consider associating your H&P and
one progress note to VC3 topics that relate. If something changes in the
patient’s course, like developing a UTI (dysuria VC3 problem), then you’d
add that day’s progress note to dysuria on your dashboard if you discussed
the UTI in that note.
 We ask that you do not associate notes to VC3 that are not written in
StarPanel (eg. VA notes, notes from clinics in the community). Such notes
require significant de-identification to be HIPPA compliant.
 Shade Tree notes are fine because they are written in StarPanel.
