Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Actors can effectively portray patients in surgical simulations, enhancing training realism. A developed framework for simulated patient (SP) case development and training proved successful in complex procedures.

Area of Science:

Medical Simulation
Surgical Education
Patient Actor Training

Background:

Clinical simulation training often neglects the patient perspective.
Actors were trained to portray patients in a high-fidelity simulated operating theater (SOT).
Limited research exists on simulated patient (SP) case development and training approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

Assess the feasibility of SPs in complex surgical roles.
Evaluate a three-phased framework for SP case development and training.

Main Methods:

Developed two patient roles for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under local anesthesia.
Trained SPs to simulate routine and crisis scenarios using a developed framework.
Evaluated the framework through interviews, observations, and written feedback from SPs, surgeons, and the project team.

Using Simulation Models to Train Clinicians in the Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Published on: August 9, 2024

Main Results:

Conducted 46 simulations with 23 surgeons and 3 SPs.
SPs utilized authentic patient interview transcripts for realism.
The SP framework was user-friendly, training was successful, and surgeons rated SP realism highly.

Conclusions:

Actors can be trained to realistically portray patients in complex procedures.
The developed framework for case development and SP training is effective.
Further research can explore this framework for other surgical procedures.
