And just for reference, anyone else who wants to collect info for the 125 risk tool, just let me know so we don't have multiple teams at events collecting info. And I do ask you share data back so I can use it to help validate the model over the years.
I'm mobile right now but when I get home I'll post how that model was created for some background info.
EDIT
As promised:
This model was created after discussions with AllisonK and merging it with some of the work I have been doing for work (my work is focused around patient outcomes and learning health systems) I also spoke with Richard Sisk and Meredith Novak for some input based on their experiences as RDs. Most of the data was designed around things we could, given proper access to STIMs/VIMs and TBA compute automatically[1]. And the goal was to give RDs a tool they could use to direct resources to assist teams (time, money, mentors). It also gives teams a fairly easy method of self assessment.
I have a theory that certain categories are more heavily weighted than others, but, frankly, it's really hard to determine those without data.
[1] There are exceptions, the community knowledge is a bit harder to nail down, potentially could be detected based on RCA submissions (pass/fail) and the entire Communication section is really difficult to automate.
