Who is it for?

What does it offer?
The program offers the ability to elicit a significant amount of (seemingly divergent) information from many sources and synthesize it into a meaningful impression. The result is sound decision-making, and a standardized approach to 5 Level Triage and patient assessment.
It highlights the truly important information and demonstrates how to quickly put it together to recognize serious illness and initiate appropriate care. The material represents up-to-date thinking in emergency 5 Level Triage and patient assessment.
The program is built on a solid foundation of adult learning principles. It incorporates the latest model for successful instruction, including, presenting information, guiding the learner, practicing, and assessing the learner. It also provides remedial work feedback.
The 5 Level Triage and Patient Assessment program incorporates cognitive learning principles that best enable the transfer of knowledge for recognizing a seriously ill patient, presenting patient syndromes, and prioritizing acuity and the initiation of care.
Our program meets the participant’s higher-order cognitive skill need, and so improves 5 Level Triage decision-making and problem-solving skills. It maximizes the ability to think critically. It provides an opportunity to apply sound judgment and critical thinking skills to successfully manage Emergency Patient Care.
Measurement of ability and competence
Measurement of ability is successfully accomplished using testlet simulation, which reaches higher-order thinking skills.
We have taken great care through expert programming, in constructing authentic text-based patient scenarios that do just that!
The Summative Exam comprises 12 case scenarios in the form of constructed response items. Using this type of exam format, the examinee must critically think!
Decisions are made independently, in order to obtain essential information, evaluate data, derive meaning, and initiate the proper actions.
The exam provides not only a cut score, but more importantly, remedial reading and redo work is mapped to the learning objective, and is provided at the end of each case. The remedial feedback is tailored to each examinee's performance and can be readily printed out for further review. The goal being, that the examinee achieves 100% competence!
Upon successful completion of the Summative Exam, a certificate will be awarded. (Details in the program).
As an adjunct to our program, refereed journal articles have been expertly reviewed. Only the best have been selected and strategically placed throughout the program to enhance knowledge of clinical syndromes.
The 5 Level Triage and Patient Assessment Program will save lives, empower staff, and manage risk!
