Imagine you are taking care of your patient – anywhere – any department/floor in the hospital, a nursing home, surgical site or clinic setting and suddenly grasp that an emergency situation is unfolding. Do you know what to do? Are you confident in your response? Even if you call an ambulance or have a rapid response team coming, YOU may still be taking care of that patient for up to 8 minutes or more. In that time, what can YOU do to help save lives? There are times in the past you wish you had done more….

This intense course will provide new clinical insights and critical thinking skills so you won’t need to feel uncertain, scared or at risk anymore. The ability to assess, intervene and advocate will be reinforced through exciting clinical cases. You will experience the dramatic changes in your own practice when you work your next shift! PLUS, you will earn a Certificate in Patient Crisis Prevention and up to 12 CE Hours!

1. Categorize current challenges relative to your specific practice environment and patient populations.
2. Develop a proactive plan to respond to your deteriorating patient.
3. Evaluate the mental strategies necessary for success and process improvement when dealing with critically ill patients.
4. Integrate a comprehensive review of systems, with subtle but key red flag clinical assessment findings.
5. Incorporate a graduate level understanding of pharmacology into your current clinical practice with respect to the pre-, peri-, and post-arrest management of the medically fragile patient.
6. Apply advanced laboratory medicine concepts into your current clinical practice with respect to the “at risk” patient.
7. Distinguish the subtle signs from the “perfect storm” patient.
8. Choose the best interventions for stabilization of the deteriorating patient.
9. Determine the key interventions to stabilize the successfully resuscitated patient prior to or post transfer.
