A national Task Force is brought together to plan the survey content. The Task Force includes technicians, as well as clinical educators and clinical managers of technicians. Following data collection, the Task Force reviews the results and makes recommendations for the CCHT test specifications (blueprint) . A Job Analysis is performed every five years to be sure the test reflects current practice of entrylevel hemodialysis technicians.  \nNNCC’s Clinical/Technical Board oversees CCHT test development, and the CCHT Test Committee develops the actual test questions. Item writers, who are certified technicians from a variety of geographic and practice settings, write test questions to meet the CCHT blueprint requirements. Each question on the test can be linked directly to the tasks/activities in the Job Analysis. The Test Committee meets twice a year to review, evaluate, and write test questions to ensure that test content remains up-to-date and accurate. All questions are validated using the Core Curriculum for the Dialysis Technician and other references.  \nThe test consists of 150 questions that match the test blueprint. About 25 of the questions are new“pilot” questions and are not scored. Pilot testing of new questions allows for the evaluation of questions before they become “real” or scored questions.  \nThe passing score is determined by a panel of technicians who serve as subject matter experts (SMEs) . This group performs a criterion-referenced standard setting procedure in which each test question is reviewed to determine its difficulty. The passing score is based on the SME panel’s estimation of the level required to identify individuals with an acceptable level of knowledge and skill. Therefore, each candidate’s test score is measured against a predetermined standard, not against the performance of other test takers.","cbCaitQ1NNnMfv7Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitQ1NNnMfv7Q","pdf",63947,"English","# How the CCHT Examination is Developed\n## Job analysis and test specifications (blueprint)\n## Test development, item writing, and validation\n## Test structure, pilot questions, and scoring\n## Passing score and criterion-referenced standard setting","[{\"question\":\"What information does the CCHT exam development start with?\",\"answer\":\"It starts with a Job Analysis survey that identifies key tasks and activities performed by entry-level hemodialysis technicians.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the test specifications (blueprint) created and updated?\",\"answer\":\"A national Task Force plans and analyzes the survey content, then recommends the blueprint.
