Advanced Practice Strategies (APS), a leading provider of education solutions for risk management and patient safety, today announced the release of a Competency Maintenance (CM) Series module in Obstetrics. APS’s CM courses are a frequent review and reassessment designed to keep clinicians’ skills sharp and their patients safe. This month’s CM focuses on operative vaginal delivery.
Each Obstetrics CM stresses the clinical management of a case that involves team communication, team coordination, and key obstetric principles by placing clinicians into a complex medical scenario in which they will assess tracings, interact with patients and team members, and make important clinical decisions. Each choice helps to identify gaps in the learner’s knowledge, and the module will provide a personalized learning path to help close those gaps. This month’s module involves the care of a 17-year-old attempting to deliver her first child. In this scenario, an operative vaginal delivery is required, and clinicians are probed for their knowledge of the indications and contraindications for this procedure as well as the clinical evaluation necessary before deciding on that intervention.
CM content is a series of one half-hour case based interactions developed to reinforce and evolve a clinician’s understanding of the principles outlined in Advanced Fetal Assessment and Monitoring (AFAM), Managing Shoulder Dystocia, Operative Vaginal Delivery, and other APS courses by applying this knowledge in challenging circumstances. The focus is divided equally between reemphasizing concepts from the courses as well as introducing new material by presenting a context of complex medical scenarios that highlight pertinent clinical issues within applicable national standards.
