HouseStyle for Case Studies on WEB

In an attempt to standardise the way case studies are presented on the ACAP web site, a guide has been created by the ACAP steering group to ultimately promote ease of both creation and appraisal of case studies for all ACAP members.
All case study presentations to take the form of a word document rather than power point presentation. There is no limitation on word count/length. References – Harvard style.
If all case studies could follow the following SBAR format :

Situation

Background

When they were admitted, what they were admitted with, any tests that have previously been done, any provisional diagnoses, past medical history, any medications, social history

Assessment

ABCDE assessment, bloods, ABGS, ECGS, Xrays (if any of the above indicated).
Impression – with explanation why you came to this conclusion.

Recommendations
