SAEM EM Clerkship Primer Em erg en cy Medicine Clerk sh ip Prim er A Manual for Medical Students Em erg en cy Medicine Clerk sh ip Prim er A Manual for Medical Students The “Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine” (CDEM), formed in 2008, is the first “Academy” within the membership of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM). CDEM members are medical student educators who are committed to enhancing medical student education within our specialty. CDEM will provide an opportunity for emergency medicine clerkship directors and medical student educators to join forces, collaborate, and become a unified voice at the national level. CDEM thanks the Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry for its support of the editing and design of this primer.

Alt h o u gh t h e t arget audience for this manual is primarily junior and senior medical students, we believe that emergency medicine interns and off-service residents will benefit from the majority of the topics reviewed. Our goal is to produce a high-quality, professional guide that highlights the uniqueness of our specialty. This guide should provide the reader with a detail-oriented approach to think- ing like an em ergency physician—essentially a “how to” m anual. The Prim er can be considered a supplement to the many high-quality emer- gency medicine texts currently available. However, different from these, the Prim er focu ses on asp ects of ou r sp ecialty th at are often overlooked or underrepresented in traditional textbooks. Before the development of this Prim er, a comprehensive manual such as this was not available to the masses of medical students across the country. Good luck on your emer- gency m edicine rotation.

Formal recognition by the rest of tradi- tional medicine came nearly two decades later, but for those who under- stood the vision when it first appeared, four decades of service is the right number. As you prepare for your clerkship, please recognize our chosen specialty has several gifts in store for you. First, its faculty and residents recognize the responsibility we have to train you to understand and operate in our realm. Undergraduate medical education is a serious pursuit for emer- gency physicians, and your clerkship director holds a position of esteem in the departm ent. We understand the potential im pact of early inter- vention as well as or better than any other practitioner. In education, a shared truth or corrected perception can last a lifetime, and this is what we plan to offer each of you who spend time with us. In addition, we offer a unique contribution to your medical education. We are not trying to sell our specialty to you or trying to “convert” you from your chosen direction toward ours. What we have to offer is a unique environment and an opportunity to practice fundamental skills to which you have had limited exposure thus far in medical school. The most im portant of these is acute care decisionm aking. That is a unique m o- ment, usually unanticipated, when a patient forces you to make a series of decisions surrounded by uncertainty but of great importance none- theless. Time is not your friend, and you quickly find there is nothing “cookbook” about having a well-organized and thoughtful plan of ap- proach in such a circumstance. You will not only exercise new regions of the brain, you will also get to use your hands when working with us. Technical skills and accompanying virtuosity are critical elements in the day-in, day-out practice of emergency medicine. Many of these skills— vascular access, airway management, lumbar puncture and suturing— are all a part of a reasonable skill set for a senior medical student. Commitment to learning these skills can be highly variable in medical school, and opportunities to practice them may be limited. However, in the emergency department, you should have the opportunity to put them to use every day, just as we do. Lastly, think of working in an environment where more than 115 mil- lion undifferentiated patients com e to see you or your equivalent over the course of each year. Patients’ illnesses and injuries are not always what they seem to be, and you will learn to respect that statement like never before. The approach to unraveling a voiced complaint on the part of a patient while thinking about all of the worst possibilities of potential origin is a very different way of thinking than most of your experiences to date. We believe that you will find this experience will serve you well, both with us and beyond. Our specialty interacts with every other specialty, often at the raw inter- face of the unplanned admission on a 24-hour, 7-day clock. We know that most of you completing this clerkship will not choose emergency medicine, although more and more students do each year. We are excit- ed for your future careers in primary care, surgery, pediatrics, medicine subspecialties, and others, but we know that we will see you again in one guise or another. Therefore, it is important to us that you are well treat- ed, remember what goes on here, and leave with some degree of under- standing and a modicum of respect and appreciation. Therefore, you should expect to be treated well but with discipline and high expecta- tions. One clear gesture in our effort to make your experience with us most rewarding is this Prim er. Read it com pletely early in your experience with us, reread it as you see a wide variety of patients, and use it to help order and integrate the other teachings we will send your way. We are proud of what we do and the safety net role we play in our nation’s health care system. We welcome you while you are with us and look forward to a long-term relationship, day and night, no m atter what specialty you m ay choose. Take care of yourselves and the people around you.

  • (June 2000) I. INTRODUCTION WHAT IS DOCUMENTATION and WHY
    DRAFT EVALUATION & MANAGEMENT DOCUMENTATION GUIDELINES (June 2000) I. INTRODUCTION WHAT IS DOCUMENTATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Medical record documentation is required to record pertinent facts, findings, and observations about an individual's health history including past and present illnesses, examinations, tests, treatments, and outcomes. The medical record chronologically documents the care of the patient and is an important element contributing to high quality care. The medical record facilitates: · the ability of the physician and other health care professionals to evaluate and plan the patient's immediate treatment, and to monitor his/her health care over time. · communication and continuity of care among physicians and other health care professionals involved in the patient's care; · accurate and timely claims review and payment; · appropriate utilization review and quality of care evaluations; and · collection of data that may be useful for research and education. An appropriately documented medical record can reduce many of the "hassles" associated with claims processing and may serve as a legal document to verify the care provided, if necessary. WHAT DO PAYERS WANT AND WHY? Because payers have a contractual obligation to enrollees, they may require reasonable documentation that services are consistent with the insurance coverage provided. They may request information to validate: · the site of service; · the medical necessity and appropriateness of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic services provided; and/or · that services provided have been accurately reported. II. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF MEDICAL RECORD DOCUMENTATION The principles of documentation listed below are applicable to all types of medical and surgical Pg. 1 services in all settings. For Evaluation and Management (E/M) services, the nature and amount of physician work and documentation varies by type of service, place of service and the patient's status.

  • The Patient Interview
    CHAPTER 1 The Patient Interview Sneha Baxi Srivastava, PharmD, BCACP LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Explain the basic communication skills needed when performing a patient interview. • Describe the components of the patient interview. • Conduct a thorough medication history. • Compare and contrast the different patient interview approaches in various clinical settings. • Adapt the interview technique based on the needs of the patient. KEY TERMS • Active Listening • Pertinent Positive • Rapport • Pertinent Negative • Empathy • Past History • Open-Ended Questions • Medication History • Leading Questions • Family History • Probing Questions • Personal and Social History • Nonverbal Communication • Review of Systems • Chief Complaint • Physical Exam • History of Present Illness • QuEST/SCHOLAR-MAC INTRODUCTION The patient interview is the primary way of obtaining comprehensive information about the patient in order to provide effective patient-centered care, and the medica- tion history component is the pharmacist’s expertise. A methodological approach is used to obtain information from the patient, usually starting with determining the patient’s chief complaint, also known as the reason for the healthcare visit, and then 2 CHAPTER 1 / The Patient Interview delving further into an exploration of the patient’s specific complaint and problem. A comprehensive patient interview includes inquiring about the patient’s medical, medication, social, personal, and family history, as well as a thorough review of systems and possibly a physical examination. The medication history is the part of the patient interview that provides the pharmacist the opportunity to utilize his or her expertise by precisely collecting each component of the medication history (however, a medication history may also be collected independent of a comprehensive patient interview).

  • The AOA Guide
    The AOA Guide: How to Succeed in the Third-Year Clerkships Example Notes for the MSIII 2017 Preface This guide was created as a way of assisting you as you start your clinical training. For the rest of your professional life, you will write various notes. Although they will eventually become second nature to you, it is often challenging at first to figure out what information is pertinent to a particular specialty/rotation.This book is designed to help you through that process. In this book you will find samples of SOAP notes for each specialty and a complete History and Physical. Each of these notes represents very typical patients you will see on the rotation. Look at the way the notes are phrased and the information they contain. We have included an abbre- viations page at the end of this book so that you can refer to it for the short-forms with which you are not yet familiar. Pretty soon you will be using these abbrevia- tions without a problem! These notes can be used as a template from which you can adjust the information to apply to your patient. It is important to remember that these notes are not all inclusive, of course, and other physicians will give sugges- tions that you should heed. If you are ever having trouble, us fourth year medical students are always willing to help! ***NOTE: Many note-writing practices at Jefferson may change as the hospital transitions from paper notes to EMR.*** Table of Contents Internal Medicine Progress Note (SOAP) ............................................................3 Neurology Progress Note (SOAP) ......................................................................
