Overview of Assessment
Clinical demonstration. Patient records.
Assessment Tasks
Perform elements and performance criteria of competence as designated for this unit of competence to the required standard consistently across a range of variables during clinical placement. See critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit. Clinical Observation including ADODP Log Book
Report on try-in clinical experiences and procedures, materials, instruments and equipment.
Case Study – presentation patient
Complete journal of experience in relation to outcomes of simulated practical training and clinical experience placement
(Patient records)- Word processed patient record report for every patient treated
* Co assessed with this will be elements of HLTHIR501C:- Maintain an effective health work environment, HLTIN301C:- Comply with infection control policies and procedures and HLTWHS401A:- Maintain WHS processes*
Assessment Matrix
Word processed patient record report for every patient treated - patient case histories 20%
Assessor: Zanne Frazer
Patient records addressing performance criteria. 10%
Consistent clinical demonstration addressing all the performance criteria across a wide range of variables.(including ADODP Log Book) 70%
*All assessment tasks must be successfully completed before competency can be obtained
Other Information
Clinical logbook must be kept up to date.
Clinical priviledges will be removed if theory is not passed progressively.
