Learning Objective 2
Students will relate torte law to the operating room environment by completing a case study and mind-mapping the chain of legal responsibility with at least a 79% accuracy according to the project rubric.
Activity: Torte Law in the Operating Room
Relate torte law to the operating room environment by completing the assigned case-study. The case study should consider realistic legal applications to the surgical technologist and reflect on their own morals, worldviews, biases and their role in decision making process as it applies to case study they are given. (Jackson, 2007) Accompanying the written case study will be an illustration (mind map) that depicts the chain of legal responsibility for the lawsuit they are researching.
Assessment Tool:
Case study and Mind mapping. Case studies are an ideal learning tool to utilize when the instructor wishes the student’s to discover real-life applications to the material they are learning. This type of assessment also encourages higher learning by requiring the student to critically think through a situation and apply knowledge they have gained thus far or that is being obtained during the research process for the study itself. To complete the activity, students will illustrate their findings through a mind-mapping activity that provides them with a visual artifact of how the lesson pertains to them in a real-world setting and the chain of command that they follow. Although mind-mapping itself is a form of ‘application’ which is only a low level learning platform, it is also the byproduct of the analysis process that is performed with the case study at a higher level of learning.
Note: The case study will be completed in a traditional word document in preparation for the online assessment tool.
The Mind mapping will be completed using an open source mapping system called “WiseMapping: Visual Thinking Evolution.” To learn more about "how to use" Wisemapping, click on this link which will bring you to a short 2 minute video: http://www.wisemapping.com/c/home.htm
Pros: Free website that allows others to work with you on one document. It is also an open source system that permits schools
or companies to install on their sites.
Cons: It is a system that is still evolving and as such, under-gos frequent updates which could affect the content students design.
Authenticity:
Increases student awareness of torte laws directly associated with the surgical setting and how their own beliefs can impact the decision making process and subsequently legal recourse that may be taken for/against them in a court of law.
