Aims
The aim of this module is to critically explore the presentation of the deteriorating patient across a range of systems and the factors that influence and impact on the management and escalation of such patients across a range of settings.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically explore the presentation of the deteriorating patient and associated signs and symptoms
2.
Utilising an evidence-based approach interpret the processes relating to the escalation and management of the deteriorating patient.
3.
Critically analyse the factors that influence responses to patient deterioration
4.
Identify and critically explore within the literature the barriers to the recognition of the deteriorating patient
Module Content

Within this module you will explore:
Within this module you will explore:
- Presentation of the deteriorating patient
- Early warning systems and red flags
- Interpretation of signs and symptoms related to the deteriorating patient across a range of systems
- Compensatory mechanisms and how they mask presentations
- Barriers to recognition of deterioration
- Factors that influence incidents relating to deterioration including human, communication, education and training, organisational, equipment and resources.
- Why processes fail and national patient safety incidents
- Escalating concerns
- Organisational responses - MET teams and outreach
- Management and escalation in an out of hospital setting
Module Overview:
Managing the deteriorating patient allows the learner to explore the complexity associated with recognising and responding to early signs of deterioration in patients across a range of settings. Based on national patient safety guidance it entails in-depth exploration of the factors that influence incidents relating to deterioration and the underlying causes for these. It also enables the student to develop knowledge in the early recognition of signs and symptoms that present during early deterioration across a range of systems including the deteriorating neurological, respiratory, renal and septic patients, and compensatory mechanisms, and considers patient examples and how to escalate and manage care within different settings.
This module runs over 15 weeks including the assessment point and each session is 3 hours in length.
This module aligns to following capabilities within the Multiprofessional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practitioners (HEE, 2017):
1.1; 1.6; 1.8; 2.8; 2.10; 4.4.
