Organizing Care in Your Personal Practice

In the first discussion in this unit you created a concept map based on a case study. For this discussion, explore the ways in which you or your practice setting utilize tools like concept maps, or other tools and technology, to help plan and organize care for patients.

In your discussion post, address the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).

Describe at least two tools that you or your practice setting commonly use to help plan and organize the care of patients (concept maps, electronic medical records, care plans, algorithms, smart phone or computer task managers, et cetera).
How do these tools help to organize and make treatment decisions?
How do these tools help contribute to the achievement of positive outcomes for patients?
Share any tips you have for your peers about how they might best apply these tools to their practice.
