Admissions

In shortHandle a patient's admission, transfer and discharge, start to finish.

A patient can arrive with history already behind them. Educators can place a learner into a scenario after emergency care, following a ward transfer, or partway through an admission. Handover, location and prior activity can all form part of the context. Learners then continue the patient's care instead of starting every exercise from a blank screen.

What that means in practice

• Admission, transfer and discharge can form part of the simulation.
• Previous encounters and activity can be prebuilt into the scenario.
• Handover can establish what happened before the learner came on shift.
• Continuity of care becomes part of the teaching problem.

Emergency → Ward → Discharge, one continuous record

1. Emergency
2. Ward
