Emil, Palliative Care
- Description:
- Emil (Palliative Care) Case allows students to work through a realistic patient visit and subsequent interactions with Emil, a 72 year old male with an 8 month history of non curable non small cell lung cancer. The main learning objectives are to explore some issues surrounding end of life care such as understanding appropriate Palliative Care Symptom Management, exploring the different components of a goals of care discussion for advance care planning with a Palliative Care patient and his/her family and increasing the comfort level for discussing what to expect as death nears with the patient and family. This case is broken into three main sections – Emil's initial visit, which includes the assessment of his symptoms and an initial diagnosis; the therapy that you choose thereafter; and a follow-up visit after one month. The learner is encouraged to investigate, explore, ask questions, and make decisions based on realistic clinical encounters with the patient. Very little background about the patient is provided at the start of the case. As the learner moves through the case, the medical facts of the case are revealed. The learner will be required to engage general principles of history taking, consider principles of reflective practice, see how their attitude towards the patient affects the outcome, and be challenged to bring new ideas and approaches to the care and treatment of a patient with depression. This case is part of a series being generated for the CFPC SharcFM series. This particular case deals with various Palliative Care issues in Family Medicine. Follow Emil's case as he goes through a series of struggles.
Notes: README on what to do with these files ----------------------------------------------- You have downloaded an OLab zip file. See the second zip file contained within this download. Extract it and save it as a single zip file so this can be imported into an existing OpenLabyrinth v3 or OLab4 server. You do not need to expand this second zip file -- the import process will expand the contents into the correct locations on the OLab server. What are OLab scenarios? An OLab virtual scenario is a case or story, or it might be a wee test to challenge your learners. It might be a simple 3-step set of pages and questions. It might be a complex choose-your-own-adventure style of branching narrative. Why do I need an OLab server? To simply play the original scenario, look at the metadata in the Dataverse that you downloaded this zip from. There will be a link to a playable version - for this, you only need a web browser. (No software download needed.) But if you want to be able to edit the scenario, examine how it was crafted or use it as a template on which to build a new one, you start with this zip file and import it into an OLab server. You will need an account on that OLab server that gives you author privileges. If you do not have an account, contact us using the contact information given in the metadata in the Dataverse. How do I import this scenario into an OLab server? There are more detailed instructions available in the OLab User Guide. Briefly the steps are as follows: 1. Login to your OLab server as usual. 2. Under the Labyrinths or Maps menu, click on Import 3. Tell the server which zip file to import. 4. It should only take a few seconds to import most zip files. More complex scenarios might take a couple of minutes at most. 5. When imported, the scenario should appear in your list of Labyrinths or Maps. - , , Corral, Janet, Topps, Sarahet Topps, David
