Prepare an annotated bibliography consisting of two 500 word annotations, each exploring the significance of quality frameworks in healthcare and their impact on patient care and outcomes. Each annotation should be structured around the following four key components: Full Citation, Summary, Evaluation, and Reflection.

1. Full Citation: As per APA 7th Edition.
2. Summary: Provide a concise summary of the article, highlighting the main points and arguments presented by the author(s). Focus on how the article addresses the importance of quality frameworks in healthcare on patient care and outcomes.
3. Evaluation: Critically evaluate the article, discussing its strengths and weaknesses. Consider the credibility of the author(s), the methodology used, and the relevance of the findings to the topic. Discuss how the article contributes to the existing body of knowledge on quality frameworks in healthcare.
4. Reflection: Reflect on how the information in the article impacts your understanding of the topic. Discuss how the insights gained from the article can be applied in your future practice as a paramedic. Consider any new perspectives or ideas that the article has introduced to you.

Level of GenAI Use Allowed:

Level 2 AI PLANNING: Al may be used for pre-task activities such as brainstorming, outlining and initial research. This level focuses on the effective use of Al for planning, synthesis, and ideation, but assessments should emphasise the ability to develop and refine these ideas independently.

You may use Al for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas.

The assessment will be based on a marking criteria covering the following key points:

• Full Citation: Accurate and complete citation in the correct format.
• Summary: Comprehensive and concise summary, capturing all key points and arguments.
• Evaluation: Thorough and insightful evaluation, discussing strengths and weaknesses.
• Reflection: Deep and thoughtful reflection, clearly linking article to personal practice.
• Writing Quality: Excellent writing quality, free of errors, and well-organised.

Performing an Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) is a vital component of training for university paramedic students. OSCEs provide a structured and standardized method to assess clinical skills, ensuring that students are competent in performing essential procedures and making critical decisions under pressure. 

Complete four (4) OSCEs, each offering an opportunity to showcase the knowledge and practical skills developed in this unit. These OSCEs vary in focus, duration, and overall weighting, with detailed breakdowns provided below:

• OSCE ONE: Focused on communication and skill acquisition, it will be 10mins in duration and worth 10% of the overall grade for this assessment task. 
• OSCE TWO: Focused on clinical approach and assessment, it will be 15mins in duration and worth 15% of the overall grade for this assessment task. 
• OSCE THREE: Focused on communication and engaging with healthcare teams, it will be 5mins in duration and worth 5% of the overall grade for this assessment task. 
• OSCE FOUR: Focused on medication safety and administration, it will be 5mins in duration and worth 5% of the overall grade for this assessment task. 

Grades for this assessment are cumulative, with the weightings of each task combining to form a total of 35%.

Level of GenAI Use Allowed:

Level 1 No AI: The assessment is completed entirely without Al assistance in a controlled environment, ensuring that students rely solely on their existing knowledge, understanding, and skills.

You must not use Al at any point during the assessment. You must demonstrate your core skills and knowledge.

Theoretical knowledge and the practical application of this knowledge is vital when performing the role of paramedic. In this assessment, you will need to articulate your theoretical knowledge gained within this unit as well as apply the knowledge to successfully undertake a variety of Case Management Exercises (CMEs) at a novice level. The assessment will be based on marking criteria covering the following key points:

Successful completion of each component of the assessment
Safe and competent demonstration of each component in a timely manner  

Work through a case study and complete the five (5) tasks that are included within it. These tasks vary in focus, wordcount, and overall weighting, with detailed breakdowns provided within the case study. A brief overview of each tasks focus is:

• TASK ONE: Focused on socio-cultural influence on healthcare.
• TASK TWO: Focused on communication.
• TASK THREE: Focused on patient support.
• TASK FOUR: Focused on workplace behaviour.
• TASK FIVE: Focused on reflection.

Level of GenAI Use Allowed:

Level 2 AI PLANNING: Al may be used for pre-task activities such as brainstorming, outlining and initial research. This level focuses on the effective use of Al for planning, synthesis, and ideation, but assessments should emphasise the ability to develop and refine these ideas independently.

You may use Al for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas.

You will be required to demonstrate the theoretical knowledge taught to you throughout this unit. This will be conducted through varying tasks throughout the case study. The case study will have points awarded to each task with the accumulation of these points being the final result. The case and marking guide will be provided on the unit Moodle page. The assessment will be based on marking criteria covering the following key points:

• Successful completion of each task
• Well articulated, researched and referenced work provided throughout the workbook
