This unit focuses on the multifaceted clinical, ethical and systemic dimensions involved in recognising and managing patient deterioration across diverse healthcare settings. Students will critically examine the physiological, psychological, behavioural and mental health indicators of deterioration, with particular attention to patients experiencing long-term conditions and complex comorbidities. Emphasis is placed on early recognition and timely interventions using track and trigger systems with appropriate escalation of care. Students will complete an assessment task that will assess the integration and application of learning from stage units and assure their learning against the course learning outcomes.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and all sources used must be correctly referenced, including artificial intelligence tools.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including a suspension or an expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
