Mobile Apps for Respiratory - COPD and Pneumonia |
Lesson OpeningUse Focus the Animated Pocket Dictionary of Respiratory to gain information about COPD and Pneumonia, look up morbidity-mortality statistics on the CDC FastStats app.
Lesson BodyPart 1 (RESEARCH, EVALUATE, SUMMARIZE)
Disease Knowledge Using the Medscape app, REFERENCE SECTION use the search icon to locate COPD and Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). Read though the subsections to gain knowledge about the disease, diagnostic evaluations and treatments. Use the Focus Animated Pocket Dictionary of Respiratory app –to help clarify pathophysiology and treatment concepts for these illnesses. Use the Figure 1 app (clinical case photo sharing app for healthcare professionals, with thousands of real-world teaching cases) to explore and evaluate real patient cases for your topic. Assessment 1: Create a summary of COPD and CAP. Provide an overview, describe the clinical presentation, how a diagnosis is made, what the current treatment and management strategies are. Report the morbidity, mortality statistics. Current Trends
Locate and evaluate current literature for management of COPD and CAP. Medscape app NEWS SECTION or search the Library in the DailyRounds app. Part 2 (PRACTICE)
Using the Clinical Sense app put your knowledge into practice by managing a clinical scenario for your disease. This app will guide you and give a rationale for missteps while ensuring the patient is in the correct care path. Assessment 2 part 1: Complete the Chronic Scenario – COPD and the Communal Scenario – Pneumonia. Submit a screenshot of the successful completion of each scenario.* * Instructions for capturing a screenshot from your mobile device Android: http://www.wikihow.com/Take-Screenshots-on-an-Android iOS: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200289 Clinical Application Use the Clinical Skills app to learn how to conduct a systematic approach for completing a patient history and pulmonary examination. (only available for android) Use the H&P app and watch video demonstrations of the exam procedures in the pulmonary examination section. (Percussion, Auscultation, Tactile Fremitus and Egophony Vocal Transmission Tests). Physical examination skills is are essential to guide clinical management strategies. Many conditions can be differentially diagnosed using clinical assessment skills, reducing unnecessary testing for patients and keeping healthcare costs to a minimum. Cardiopulmonary Sounds Simulator app or the Littman Learning app – to practice your auscultation skills for heart and lung sounds. An essential respiratory care skill that requires repetition and practice to master. Part 3 (TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE)
Round 1 - Diagnosis Test your knowledge using the Respiratory Prognosis app. Type the name of the condition in the search line and the name of the scenario for that condition will result. This app does not provide the same corrective steps as the scientific sense app. It will be up to you to provide high quality patient care. Your performance will be rated at the end. Assessment 2 part 2: Complete both clinical scenarios Bloated – COPD, Obtained- Pneumonia (cap)) Submit a screenshot of the successful completion of each scenario. ClosingExtended Knowledge Part 1 (APPLY KNOWLEDGE TO CONSTRUCT AN ARTIFACT)
Assessment 3: Use the H & P app to generate a comprehensive initial assessment note containing typical findings for a patient with either COPD or Pneumonia using the general history, general/vital signs, and pulmonary exam templates. Submit the generated note for grading. Use the rubric on the lesson page as a guide. Extended Knowledge Part 2 (PARTICIPATE ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL) Use the Education links in the Medscape app EDUCATION SECTION to search for a related professional CME (continuing medical education session). The events are designed for physicians; they contain Slides, Transcripts, and a Video presentations.
