Understanding the Module Dashboard

Overview

The Module Dashboard provides a detailed view of an individual module within an assessment type. While the Section Dashboard provides a high-level overview of the entire assessment, the Module Dashboard allows you to focus on a specific operational area and better understand its current maturity and performance.

Each module contains a collection of related questions that contribute to the overall module maturity rating. The Module Dashboard helps facilities identify strengths, opportunities for improvement and questions that may require further review.

As questions are updated and evidence is added, the Module Dashboard automatically updates to reflect the current position of the module.

What Information is Available on the Module Dashboard?

The Module Dashboard includes:

• Module Description

• Module Maturity Rating

• Module Rating Graph

• Individual Question Maturity Ratings

• Question Progress Indicators

Together, these insights provide a comprehensive understanding of how the module is performing and where attention may be required.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open a Module

From the Section Dashboard, select any module to go to the Module Dashboard

This will open the Module Dashboard and display detailed information.

In the Top Right hand corner select the Module you want to review and it will display the information about that specific operational area.

Step 2: Review the Module Description

At the top of the Module Dashboard, you will see a description of the module and its purpose within the assessment.

The module description provides important context and helps users understand the types of systems, processes and activities that are being assessed within that area.

Step 3: Review the Module Maturity Rating

The Module Dashboard displays the module's overall maturity rating both numerically and graphically.

This maturity rating is automatically calculated from the individual question ratings within the module and provides a clear indication of how well systems and practices are currently embedded in that area.

Step 4: Review the Module Rating Graph

The Module Rating Graph provides a visual representation of the module's current maturity and allows users to quickly understand how the module is performing.

The graph can be particularly useful when comparing modules across an assessment and identifying areas that may require additional focus or resources.

Step 5: Review Individual Question Maturity Ratings

Each question within the module is displayed with its own maturity rating using a sliding maturity scale.

This allows users to quickly identify which questions are performing strongly and which questions may require further review or improvement.

Because every question contributes to the module's overall maturity rating, reviewing question-level performance is an important part of understanding the module's current position.

Step 6: Identify Opportunities for Improvement

Questions with lower maturity ratings often represent the greatest opportunities for improvement within the module.

Reviewing these questions can help facilities determine where resources, additional evidence or improvement activities may have the greatest impact on the module's overall maturity.

Step 7: Navigate to an Individual Question

Selecting an individual question from the Module Dashboard will open the Question Page.

The Question Page allows users to review and update maturity ratings, add notes and evidence, review improvement suggestions and add actions to an improvement plan.

Tips and Best Practice

Begin by reviewing the module's overall maturity rating before looking at individual questions. This provides important context and helps you understand the module's overall performance.

Pay particular attention to questions with lower maturity ratings, as these often provide the greatest opportunities to improve the module's overall maturity.

It is also worthwhile reviewing high-performing questions to understand what is working well within the module and whether those practices can be applied elsewhere within the facility.

Regularly reviewing the Module Dashboard will help ensure that information remains current and that improvement activities are focused on the areas of greatest need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Module Maturity Rating calculated?

The Module Maturity Rating is automatically calculated based on the maturity ratings of the individual questions contained within the module.

Why are some questions performing better than others?

Questions may be at different levels of maturity depending on the systems, processes, evidence and practices that currently exist within the facility.

Does the Module Dashboard update automatically?

Yes. The Module Dashboard automatically updates whenever changes are made to question ratings, comments or supporting evidence.

Can I update maturity ratings from the Module Dashboard?

No. Maturity ratings are updated from the individual Question Page.

Why does my Module Maturity Rating change?

The Module Maturity Rating will change whenever individual question ratings are reviewed and updated, as each question contributes to the module's overall maturity.
