The Kalamazoo Essential Elements Communication Checklist (KCS) includes 7 core communication competencies and 24 sub-competencies. Learners‰Ûª performance is rated on the competencies and sub-competencies using 4 categorical ratings: done well, needs improvement, not done, not applicable. The adapted KCS was minimally modified using global ratings on a 5-point Likert scale for the 7 KCS competencies. A second version used a Likert scale for both the 7 competencies and 24 sub-competencies.The Gap‰ÛÒKCS Assessment Form can be used for self-assessment; an adapted version can be used by actual or simulated patient/family members. It contains the original seven competencies and two additional dimensions: demonstrates empathy and communicates accurate information.
