Physical Therapy:  Evaluation Tools Supported in Exxat Prism 

View Slide Deck PDF

5 key takeaways:

1. Prism offers a spectrum of assessment tools spanning formative (weekly planning form, SciPy) and summative (CIET, PTMax) instruments, with the weekly planning form and SciPy serving as early-warning tools that let students and CIs rate each other in parallel before formal midterm/final evaluations.
2. The CIET (Clinical Instructor Evaluation Tool) 2.0 is Exxat's exclusive, free, validated (for PT) evaluation used by roughly 65% of poll respondents, using a parallel workflow where student and CI ratings stay hidden from each other until both submit, with a global rating scale and section-level summative questions.
3. Students can evaluate both their clinical sites (PTSE-1) and clinical instructors (PTSE-2) through Prism, and site evaluations become de-identified, publishable "location evaluations" visible to other students via the Explore Clinical Locations map — supporting CAPTE's site-research requirement.
4. Exxat provides four standard CAPTE-AAR-aligned reports (graphical, comprehensive, aggregate, and raw data) that map directly to accreditation questions, with interactive drill-down and heat-map/pie-chart views for the CIET and PTSE forms — but customizing standard forms forfeits access to these reports.
5. Programs can request the out-of-the-box weekly planning form activated within about one business day, while fully custom forms or workflow builds take roughly three to four weeks after scoping with the account management team.
