WelcomeWelcome to Bethesda Health, Inc. We are pleased to be an integral part of the students’ educational experience as they strive to reach their career goals as a healthcare professional. I hope that the students will eventually consider Bethesda as their employer of choice. We feel we offer the perfect recipe for fledgling professionals that will launch their initiation into the healthcare arena as well as nurture their career development. With that in mind, it is important that each of the entities - instructors, students, and staff understand the role they play in this endeavor. First and foremost the staff is here to take care of the patients’ healthcare needs, always putting the patient first. The instructor’s primary role is to educate the students directly as well as facilitate their experiences so they can benefit from a meaningful, pertinent, experience, which will highlight the didactic portion of their education. Furthermore, a common goal shared by all parties, is the safety of our patients and the environment that we all share. These philosophical tenets are part of our contractual agreement with the educational facilities and underpin all the policies and procedures of the institution. The Education Resource Center sees their role in providing an organized system for coordination of the clinical rotations, matching the requested student experience with the closest clinical area of choice, and assuring that all credentials and screening procedures are adhered to. We are committed to providing an orientation to Bethesda for both instructors and students in the most expedient way possible. To that end, the Clinical Instructor Manual was created and we hope it is helpful to you. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, as it is a work in progress. Please feel free to contact me if you feel we have fallen short of the very highest standards of patient care, or, that the students’ clinical experience here was anything less than satisfying. It will be a learning opportunity for each of us to improve upon the situation.

View ResultsWhen you open the Clinical Summary, the default view is the “Overview”, the physician’s patient summary view (screen divided into four boxes). The list of tabs located on the left display important patient information. Vitals, labs, imaging, documentation, etc., can be selected and will display data (in chronological order) from the last three days. Use the arrow to see more days. Columns either directly display values or contain icons which open information separately. To open Transcriptions documents, click on the icon to the left. This opens the file’s related application.
