Knowledge Acquisition and Testing System

Andrea Parodi said the Knowledge Acquisition and Testing System (KATS) was requested by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and stemmed from a concern about how DoD could assess whether health professionals were ready for deployment. This included understanding trauma care while demonstrating an ability to perform adeptly during emergency situations. To accomplish this, Parodi described developing an educational, game-based program that would not be an administrative burden to the trainer who is frequently faced with inadequate staffing. The process uses computer automation and begins with a stand-alone module for learners to gain knowledge and speed for mastering a skill. As soon as the learner demonstrates competency, his or her results are automatically transferred to a storage cloud for future reference. With automation, instructors are not burdened with large amounts of time-consuming administrative duties.

The next stage of training requires the learner to become the teacher in what Parodi termed a skill rodeo. He or she must be able to teach the instructor before moving into the next phase of the instruction where the individual learner becomes part of a team. This is a critical phase of the training where learners are graded on their ability to incorporate components of teamwork and safety into their skill sets.
