After an historical review of digital and paper-based student demographic data , the DoE was able to fill gaps dating back to 2006 . Missing information was entered into one student affairs database created in Microsoft Access .
A standard process was created to collect and import new student and new employee information across multiple programs and teams within the DoE . The student affairs database now includes thousands of students representing youth programing , nursing , physician assistant , undergraduate medical , graduate medical , physical therapist , occupational therapist , and other healthcare careers .
Since the inception of the student affairs database and completion of the QI project , LVHN ’ s DoE has tracked 17,399 youth program participants in the pipeline . Data from 2006-2018 demonstrates that LVHN educated more than 833 Research Scholars , 300 Emerging Health Professionals , 46 Bridging the Gaps graduate students , 800 Health Care Career Discovery high school students , 3,900 visiting medical students , and 7,000 nursing students .
Conclusion
The implementation of the student affairs database allowed LVHN to longitudinally track student participation across multiple youth education platforms . Information collected from this database produced valuable metrics that show correlations between participation and retention within the LVHN healthcare workforce . The database
