Welcome to this unfolding case study about the management of an adult in the midst of a health crisis. This case is a composite of many actual cases and does not represent a specific individual. The case study will present you with information as the providers learn of the patient’s emergent and ongoing health concerns – from his Emergency Department admission through the transition to his outpatient care. You will be asked to make decisions and use your best judgement about how to best care for this patient.
Many of the slides will ask what you would do based on the information provided. There will be a box to enter your answer and you will have the opportunity to compare your answers to those from experienced providers across disciplines. Your answers will not be saved or submitted.
You will navigate by clicking on the numbered circles at the top of the screen or by clicking the “Next” button at the bottom right of the screen to move to the next slide.
