This MedStar Health on line education, “The Deteriorating Patient Condition” was developed in response to nursing peer review showing lack of identification of the deteriorating patient and failure to rescue. Through scenario based learning the module emphasizes tracking and trending, using the Cerner MedConnect System, to visualize subtle vital sign changes over time and identify when a patient is deteriorating. The module then incorporates the next steps of knowing how to escalate care when needed and the use effective communication techniques.
