Continue to formalize/document Council agendas Seven years ago we began keeping agendas from all council and IM Staff meetings. These are helpful in the event of a problem after the meeting, we can go back to our agenda and document that the topic was covered. It also helps us to document our efforts at building community and our continued efforts at improving sportsmanship. We will continue to formalize our Council agendas and document all topics covered. Agendas were documented for all Intramural Council meetings for the year. Conduct Team Sport Satisfaction tool for each team sport We are reviewing the structure of our existing “town hall” meetings. Years ago we conducted written satisfaction tools at the end of team sports. We didn’t like the in-ability to respond to questions etc. those gave us so we started having “town hall” meetings at the end of each team sport so we could have dialogue. Those are conducted at the IM Council meeting most closely scheduled to the end of each team sport. We again conducted town hall meetings at the end of the major team sports and again participation was very limited. We are investigating a way to get more teams involved other than just the Greeks who are usually the only in attendance at the existing meetings. Track IM Leagues utilization Now that we are using IM Leagues across the board in all divisions of play, we want to find out how our utilization compares to other universities and to our own participants. We will look at the number of single sign ons and other parts of the platform to evaluate our use of the program. Our utilization of IM Leagues remains high. With record numbers of teams in several sports this year, we know our use increased. IM Leagues does not allow us to access that information like we can with google analytics and twitter analytics so we can not derive specific details but we know we were one of the top 10 schools in the nation in log ins last year and had more this year by a noteworthy amount. We are talking to IM Leagues to see if there is a way we can begin to access that information in a specific manner. Continue follow up phone contact with injured participants Last year we made 170 phone calls to participants who had been injured in our program. Every person who had an injury report filled out received at least one call checking on their condition and offering the department’s assistance. The calls are very good tools for us. They show concern and intent to follow up with our participants. I have talked to many parents when making the calls and the good will we receive from the calls is very significant. From a legal standpoint they are important but more importantly from a moral standpoint they are critical to our department and should be continued with no question. We usually receive some sort of thank you statement from every injured participant during these calls so they are appreciated. We refer insurance and medical expense payments to Sandy Russell. Document all AED inspections Our new machines perform a nightly self-check inspection. Our inspection for the current year have been completed and all machines are in compliance. All machines were inspected and had new pads installed this summer. Document all staff certifications We keep a spreadsheet on every certification issued from our department training classes through the Louisville Fire and Rescue and American Heart Association. We also keep the certification sheets turned into the AHA for documentation as well. We are able to provide information on any staff member’s certification at any time. This also helps us track renewal times for every certification. Louisville Fire and Rescue also documents this information for us. All staff certifications along with expiration dates are maintained and available from John Smith. An example is below. This does not reflect our entire staff of designated responders.
Track all injury reports With this tool we want to develop a database so that we can track all reported injuries. We then will be able to compare injury rates between indoor & outdoor activities, structured program to informal program. We will also categorize the severity of all injuries and compare statistics between sports and related activities. This may have implications in our future training and certification plans. Results of the injury tracking are discussed in the safety area of this report. We use the statistics gathered from this project to tailor our training in the summer for our staff. We complete the course as specified by American Heart Association, but will also spend some extra time in areas that appear to be more common for us to respond to. Even though our number of reported injuries showed a spiked increase this year, the ratio of injuries stayed very consistent to other years. Bone/Joint 72% Blood 14% Consciousness 12% Others 2% Continue retention studies with Institutional Research We have two ongoing studies with Institutional Research. One is a grade point study of GPAs of our “regular” users compared to other students. The other is a retention study that will enable us to ascertain the retention rate of our “regular users” compared to other students. We completed a project involving a program called SAS Visual Analytics which is a powerful platform that will enable us to visually que requested information. We are in the process of uploading this year’s information now and will soon be able to complete and query that information.
