Introduction to the Program

Knowing how to manage and prioritize emergency care according to the patient's health status is a vital competency in the nurse's curriculum, as it equips them to work at a much higher level”

All health care personnel working in the Accident and Emergency Department in hospitals and health care centers are fully aware of the importance of approaching patient care according to the severity of the patient's condition. This takes on greater importance for nurses, as these professionals are the first to admit and assess people who come to the emergency department. Therefore, it is vital that they are able to accurately distinguish between those cases that require priority attention over other urgencies of a less serious type.

In this sense, hospital emergency care will be addressed through an approach to the out-of-hospital emergency setting. To this end, this Postgraduate certificate will provide an in-depth study of both care environments, where triage plays a fundamental role in the identification of those patients who are in a more serious and/or vulnerable situation. Within this context, nursing is the professional team responsible for prioritization, together with other healthcare personnel, who will also have to deal
with catastrophic situations and implement emergency plans with other non-healthcare teams.

Likewise, during this Postgraduate certificate we will delve into the outcome of these complex situations where we will not only have to take care of the patient with quality, but also to manage the assistances and, in special situations, to initiate rescue maneuvers. Along the same lines, this program will also focus on medical transport since Nursing professionals are usually present during the transfer of the patient from the hostile environment in which the event takes place to the hospital itself, providing assistance and care support.

All this in a 100% online program that allows the professional to study where and when they want, only requiring a device with Internet connection. This way, you will not have to neglect your professional and personal obligations to continue learning to become a top-notch nurse.
