Main ContentNuventive Improve
The University of Mississippi Medical Center uses Nuventive Improve, a Nuventive software product for institutional assessment reporting. The system provides the means to track effectiveness in student training and support services; thereby fulfilling standards to examine and demonstrate quality improvement over time.
Who uses Nuventive Improve?
Those who oversee assessment activities for their department, generate annual institutional effectiveness plans (IEPs and IEP reports), or participate in institutional effectiveness reviews have assigned roles within Nuventive Improve and are considered the primary end-users of the software.
End-users interface with the Nuventive Improve system most often at the beginning and at the end of assessment cycles; submitting data on behalf of their unit (submitters) or reviewing effectiveness plans/reports on behalf of the institutional assessment committee (reviewers).
Submitters are typically directors of instructional programs (e.g. PhD in Biochemistry) or administrative-educational support service units (e.g. Office of Enrollment Management). Program faculty and unit personnel may also serve as submitters for their program or service area.
Reviewers are members of the Institutional Assessment Committee. The committee is comprised of faculty and service unit personnel who appraise IEPs/IEP reports and assure that data is used to monitor outcome achievement, inform decision-making, and provide the foundation for continuous quality improvement.
