This app is meticulously designed with the most common equipment, braces, post-operative considerations, patient education, functional training, and personal protective equipment relevant to the acute care setting. Students become immersed in the acute care setting without ever leaving their classroom through case studies with real patients in simulated treatment sessions.
Working together with Jennifer Nash, PT, DPT, NCS, the Acute Care App offers an in-depth, high-quality, asynchronous learning opportunity complete with
amazing resources to augment teaching and learning.
Key Features:
Learn the most common precautions and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) utilized for different pathologies in the acute care setting in the Isolation Precautions section. Each with unique signage and explanations, this will help build foundational knowledge of infection control and safety.
In the Patient Population section, the learner can review major categories of patient diagnoses commonly encountered in inpatient settings, typical lines and tubes, complete with background information, precautions/contraindications and assistive device recommendations.
It is important to note that this module does not include a step-by-step process for preparing a patient for discharge from the hospital. However, it does provide an overview of what will be needed on discharge by listing items such as goals (which may include medications or other treatments), discharge planning, and patient education materials.
In the Functional Training section, the learner can see a clinical expert performing common functional tasks with a real patient in short treatment videos complete with narration, step by step cues, safety information, and closed captioning.
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) is a medical emergency that can happen to anyone at any time. It's also one of the leading causes of death in America and worldwide.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with CVA, it's important to know what happens next! In this module, we'll cover how CVA occurs, why it's so dangerous and what you can do about it if you're at risk for developing this condition yourself or someone close to you.
It’s not just about being able to apply theory in the classroom.
We want our learners to be prepared for real-world situations and challenges, so we’ve designed this app with the most common equipment, braces, post-operative considerations, functional training needs of patients within an acute care setting. Students become immersed in their coursework without ever leaving their classroom through case studies with real patients in simulated treatment sessions. Working together with Jennifer Nash PT DPT NCS, the Acute Care App provides an in-depth high quality asynchronous learning opportunity complete with amazing resources to augment teaching and learning.
