Clinical portfolio of 3x patients

Learning Outcomes

• Undertake a comprehensive clinical assessment, including history taking and physical examination whilst incorporating knowledge of culturally and linguistically diverse populations.

• Synthesize clinical information while integrating underpinning knowledge of common pathologies and pathophysiology in the critical care context.

• Formulate an appropriate clinical management plan based on clinical assessment findings, underpinning knowledge and evidence based medicine.

• Engage reflective practice principles to revise ongoing management of the critical care patient.

• Develop leadership skills as a Critical Care Paramedic within a clinical team environment.

Task Description

Preamble

In a critical care context, you will need to demonstrate the ability to undertake a comprehensive clinical assessment, including history taking and physical examination and synthesize clinical information while integrating underpinning knowledge of common pathologies and pathophysiology. In addition, you will need to formulate an appropriate clinical management plan based on clinical assessment findings, underpinning knowledge and evidence based medicine and engage reflective practice principles to revise ongoing management of the critical care patient. You also need to develop the leadership skills required as a Critical Care Paramedic (CCP) within a clinical team environment.

Task description

In this assessment you will need to complete a clinical portfolio of a minimum of three (3) patients, who were assessed and treated during your recent experience as a paramedic. The format of your portfolio can be self-determined, however it must include:
- The patient's clinical presentation, history, assessment and clinical findings
- Deliberation on the possible differential diagnoses for the patient.
- Examination of the connection between the patient's clinical presentation and assessment findings with the pathophysiology of the most likely definitive diagnosis.
- Reflection on the Clinical Management Plan used in the treatment of this patient.
- Discussion and reflection on what further assessment and management could have been undertaken at a Critical Care level and the leadership skills that would have been required of a CCP in the treatment of this patient.

All medical practice is that is discussed at a CCP level must be justified with presented evidence (This does not include your service's Drug Therapy Protocols and Clinical Practice Manuals).
