Overview
In this unit you will focus on person-centred care delivery, communication and working in partnership with the interdisciplinary healthcare team to manage care for the person experiencing clinical deterioration in a complex care environment. You will be introduced to organisation-wide systems such as rapid response systems, that are used for recognising and responding to acute deterioration. You will recognise the significant impact of monitoring, documenting and tracking clinical observations in detecting early clinical deterioration. In this unit you will be challenged to employ higher-order thinking when recognising and responding to clinical deterioration.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student feedback: SUTE data
Content was useful and tutorials were very relevant, however assignment task sheets were unclear at times.
Unit coordinators will review assignment task sheet to ensure better clarity is provided.
Feedback from Student feedback: SUTE data
Having markers more aligned would be helpful in relation to assessments.
Although the moderation process was followed by the Unit Coordinators as per the University policy, several students within the small number of students who responded to the survey identiļ¬ed this as key issue. Moderation plan supporting information assessment marking and grading is recommended as per the DDLT.
Feedback from Student feedback: SUTE data
I appreciated the real life scenarios shared and feel this will help immensely with future patient care.
Unit coordinators will ensure to include relevant scenarios to link realistically to clinical setting. Invited expert guest speakers will also be sought to provide additional context, linking to our industry partners.
Feedback from Student feedback: SUTE data
Assessment feedback could be improved, for example how you could have expanded a topic
Unit coordinators will work closely with all markers and provide further direction on providing clearer and more constructive feedback. Moderation plan supporting information assessment marking and grading is recommended as per the DDLT.
