INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
The Best Place to Start
The Program Review Report assesses the viability and quality of credit and non-credit instructional programs to support program improvement through Area Improvement Plans, as established by College Procedure 2.03.01.18: Program Review . The Office of Institutional Research provides the data, which are by academic year as of August 31, 2015; the Office of
Institutional Effectiveness produces the report, which presents the data by program. Standards are marked as “Met” or “Not Met” based on DISTRICT (“D”) , not site, performance. Data by site are shown where available (if unavailable, boxes are blank). Standards after slashes denote critical thresholds, which identify especially unacceptable performance (and if not met, are marked "Not Met-Critical"). Results are color-coded, as follows:
STANDARD MET STANDARD NOT MET STANDARD NOT MET - CRITICAL
Viability Indicator scores 50% or lower or unmet Graduation and Student Success prompt formal review by the Program Review Committee. The Committee's authority concerning program continuation is limited to recommending that the senior instructional administrators review the program's capacity to improve its service to students and the community. The final decision on program continuation rests with the President.
Program Type: Health Career Program Report’s Recommendation Last Year: Viable Program

Mandatory Accreditation: Yes Fully Accredited? (Y/N): No Reason Why Not Fully Accredited: Low certification threshold <80% Passing (Ours 76%) We are on probationary status.

RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE
2012-2013 None
2013-2014 None
The Respiratory Care Technology Program was found to be viable and was given the following recommendations: 1. Meet with the Office of Institutional Research (IR) to sort through existing data and make as much of it as possible compatible with EPCC requirements. For indicators that do not have supporting data, the Program coordinators should work with IR to develop assessments. 2. Explore offering certification
2014-2015 and necessary preparatory workshops/courses as part of the coursework by incorporating fees into tuition. 3. Continue exploring avenues available for having certification and other required testing dates as close to graduation as possible. 4. Explore developing online Faculty Development courses. 5. Remind Faculty to write clearly on Faculty Development sign-in forms, check ID numbers and confirm attendance with Faculty
Development office.

Measure: Whether the sum of new and replacement jobs in the field forecast for El Paso and Hudspeth Counties and the New Mexico counties of Dona Ana, Luna and Otero during the 5 years following the publication of the Program Review Report meets or exceeds the number of graduates during the 5 years preceding the publication of the report. To ensure that the data include career paths addressed by the program, each program shall provide the IE Office with a list of jobs for which it prepares graduates.
The listings are from the EMSI database, which was created in 2001, in consultation with the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT), to track occupational demand and wages nationally, by state and by region, drawing on some 91 databases, which include those of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The number preceding each occupational title is the unique Bureau of Labor Statistics SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) number assigned to each job title. Job titles were specified by the disciplines. Numerical anomalies may be due to rounding.
