Review of web-based module to train and assess competency in systems-based practice

Abstract

This module has a goal of increasing learners' understanding of the care transitions process through an online, interactive interface that can be completed in approximately 30 minutes. The teaching is case-based, using a hypothetical patient to walk learners through the main elements that the author is emphasizing: highlighting the importance of communication during the discharge process, including the preparation of complete discharge summaries; explaining the sources of payment for elderly patients moving through the healthcare system; and discharge sites according to type and amount of therapy that patients can expect to receive. © 2010, The American Geriatrics Society.
