Cases, Remediation, and Evaluation

Challenger High Risk Medicine, a state-of-the-art antidote to misdiagnosis and litigation risk, is a series of courses designed to address each aspect of high risk care, management, and risk prevention. Employing our proven programmed learning methodology and the expert advice of our prestigious Physician Advisory Board, Challenger High Risk Medicine will increase your confidence, challenge your cognitive knowledge of difficult cases, and assign a "Risk Rating" against the standard of care.

Challenger High Risk Medicine presents unique case-study-oriented presentations on high risk care. In-depth "key point" articles focus on the most treacherous diagnostic situations in acute and primary care, so as to help practicing physicians strengthen their knowledge base, sharpen diagnostic skills, recognize and head-off potentially life-threatening conditions, and better avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. And the series does so at a cost of less than $20 per credit hour!

Each case contains high-resolution imagery, didactic content, and associated questions and answers, and all the content is peer-reviewed by prominent experts from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Each case features an up-to-date clinical overview of a high-risk topic, including presentations, differentials, and treatments. This overview is followed by a comprehensive investigation of the most common diagnostic pitfalls related to care.

Full-color, high-resolution imagery has always been one of the hallmarks of Challenger programs.

Every image is assigned to the appropriate standard-of-care topic, and most can be enlarged for detailed examination and observation. Labels on imagery, diagrams, and ultrasound videos can be switched on and off for quick reference and self-testing.

Health professionals need the skills to provide high quality care to people with developmental disabilities. Cognitive, physical, communication and social impairments can create particular challenges for patients, their families and carers, and the health professionals working with them.

Healthcare Scenarios in Developmental Disability has been designed to support the development of positive attitudes towards people with disabilities, and to provide important information in skill and knowledge domains.

This resource has two major sections: The Video Scenarios and the Knowledge Base.

The Video Scenarios comprise videotaped ‘medical consultations’ between medical practitioners and four people with disabilities. These four scenarios introduce students to the issues faced by people living with intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and dual disability and allow students to observe how challenges are handled in real interactions. Each video consultation is embedded in a learning pathway that includes learning objectives, a reflective exercise and a self assessment quiz.

Underpinning the four video scenarios are five extensive Knowledge Bases: Overview of Developmental Disability; General Issues in Healthcare; Communication; Mental Health and Illness; and Issues for Families and Carers.

This set of four CD-ROM constitutes a comprehensive guide to medical communication skills, with over forty filmed scenarios demonstrating practical ways in which communication techniques can improve patient health care and support. These programs set out the basic principles of good skills in communication, and then go on to illustrate more advanced techniques involved in dealing with patients’ emotions (including anger, despair, denial and depression) and in unearthing hidden agenda or worries that the patient may have (such as anorexia or physical abuse by the spouse). Further sections deal with the techniques of breaking bad news, and special situations such as the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or AIDS and cultural and ethnic difficulties. Other sections deal with paediatric issues, palliative care and end-of-life decisions, and the new area of genetic counselling, when blood tests for genetic predisposition to certain cancers are being considered or have been done.
