I don't have any opinion on the very insightful question you have asked
Kathy, but am adding my comment anyway

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has a guideline at their org on best practices
for patients consenting to student involvement in care, and if they would
be willing to either share their guideline, or a summary of the key
principles of this guideline.
We are exploring creating an organisation wide guideline to highlight
minimum expected standards for all clinical staff (AH, Med, Nursing)
capturing probably the following points:
· Hospital communication on teaching hospital & setting patient
expectations
· Expectations of supervisors (active supervision, selection of
patient to match student scope). Highlighting situations where patients may
be more vulnerable and greater supervisor consideration is required
· Differentiating between routine care activities (appropriately
supervised) and student contact focused on the teaching needs of the
students primarily rather than care & the consent expectations associated
with this.
· Minimum documentation examples for standard care, verbal
consent & declined consent.
Thanks in advance,
Kathy
