Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to describe the development and implementation of an online graduate follow-up method to keep an updated database of the institution's former students. It was a descriptive study of a population of nursing graduates from a higher education institution. This electronic instrument was available at the institution's website, where the graduates provide their data in a survey. The pilot method with graduates from 2011 was used for method validation. In total, 53.65% answered the questionnaire in a first approach through email in a six-month period. The preliminary results confirm that the platform can be applied to the proposed objective. The graduate follow-up method allows access to assessment tools for institutions to evaluate the impact of graduation on healthcare services.
