This unit will focus on the four key domains of clinical risk as articulated by the Federal Department of Health and Ageing (pressure area care, medication error, hand hygiene and falls). Students will examine core concepts about contributing disease processes, intrinsic, and extrinsic factors, that may increase individual patient's clinical risk, using exemplars and case studies from their clinical workplace to authenticate learning and assessment related to the management of risk in the clinical environment.
This unit will involve flexible, on-line teaching and learning to integrate theory attained through this learning and applying it to their individual clinical setting to ensure authenticated assessment.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.
Students will be required to be familiar with utilising multiple media (including internet, weblinks, wiki's, blogs, and university e-learning) as coursework will be delivered through e-learning. Additionally, students will be required to integrate their theoretical learning to their workplace (Work Integrated Learning) by working collaboratively with various members of their healthcare team, drawing exemplars and case studies to support their learning and authenticate assessment.
