- Unique! Conceptual Care Mapping — from the author team who developed this new method of organizing care information — uses the Evolve platform, allowing instructors to create additional case studies that students can answer with the conceptual care map creator and online templates.
- Unique! 30 detailed case studies focus on the patients a first-year student is most likely to see in their clinical experience — and are organized from simple to complex, guiding students through prioritization and teaching them to think clinically and critically.
- Unique! Elsevier’s Conceptual Care Map creator is used to help students create, update, manage, and submit their care maps quickly and effectively while also providing instructors with a time-saving rubric and sample templates.
- Unique! Answers and completed care maps are provided for selected cases so that students can assess their learning and grow their clinical perspective.
- Unique! Improving Patient Care section not only provides an overview of care mapping, but also focuses on three key elements of patient care: care, communication, and collaboration.
- Unique! Interprofessional Education (IPE) and collaboration are key elements in all of the case studies, helping first-year students build a good understanding of how they will work within the larger healthcare team.
- Full-color design corresponds with the colors used in the online care map creator to reinforce the steps of assessment through care and evaluation.
- An instructor-only case study ‘key’ on Evolve helps in assigning cases related to what is being taught or what students will see in clinicals.
