Transition of Care Case Study
Develop a patient scenario. Each of you have completed case studies before. They have a story line and questions that follow. In this case, it is best to use one unfolding case with embedded questions. With a transition of care it is necessary to include different points in time to capture the full transition. It is essential to set the stage or present the case to your group. The detailed patient scenario should include the patients chief complaint, diagnosis, a summary of care and status, medications, cultural implications, resource needs, financial/insurance status, discharge plan/goal. This is for the facts only. The working of the interprofessional team and the proper transition of care across the continuum will play out as your case unfolds. Always remember to keep in mind, safety and quality.
Once the scenario is written, insert questions that illicit critical thinking and application of learning. Students need a minimum of 10 questions for the case. The questions should capture and display an understanding of the standards and implementation.
