After module 1 of a clinic EHR class, a short quiz shows clerks cannot locate the allergy field. What should the instructor do?

Short Explanation
That quiz is a smoke alarm, not a trophy. If nobody can find the allergy field, change the afternoon and teach it again. Saving the surprise for the final just burns the house down later.
Full Explanation
Formative evaluation is used during the event to adjust instruction, not as a hidden gotcha. When module-1 results show a shared gap, the instructor revises the afternoon plan and reteaches. Suppressing results, refusing to adapt the vendor sequence, or abandoning the EHR objectives for a different curriculum wastes the formative data.
