This chapter describes the systematic evaluation of the clinical learning environment in the Finnish HealthCare Services and offers initiatives to increase the quality elements of clinical practicum. The chapter also presents a practical case example from one hospital district.

The continual quality monitoring is important to both parties of the process; a student gets opportunities to evaluate different clinical learning environments—for example, an upcoming workplace—and the healthcare organisation can ensure that the incoming healthcare professionals find the organisation an attractive working environment. Our experiences support a common apprehension that a measurement intervention impacts the process as such; people actively initiate improvements already during measuring interventions and we get the kind of results we have waited for.
