Clinical Decision Support Tools for Emergency Care Providers
|
The Professional Board for Emergency Care (PBEC) is pleased to introduce the Clinical Decision Support Tools (CDSTs) for Emergency Care Providers. These tools have been meticulously developed to enhance decision-making at emergency out-of-hospital points of care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. These CDSTs serve as an adjunct to the existing Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)
The CDSTs were developed by using the existing CPGs in conjunction with a review of contemporary literature in terms of those specific conditions. The support tools were drafted and refined using subject matter experts. These were then tested for ease of use in simulated events and refined further. It is acknowledged that the list of conditions presented is not exhaustive, but these will serve as a springboard for developing additional conditions going forward.
The tools incorporate the latest clinical guidelines and evidence-based practices, serving as an adjunct to your professional expertise. They are designed to be user-friendly, with clear patient management pathways. Digital versions of these tools are also under development, which will offer additional convenience and accessibility in the near future.
We strongly encourage you to familiarise yourself with these guidelines and integrate them into your practice. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we invite you to provide any comments or suggestions regarding the tools. Please send your feedback to emergencycare@hpcsa.co.za by 15 February 2025. Thank you to those who have already provided feedback, which has been added to the current version.
Please kindly take note of the following information:

Thank you for your dedication to delivering high-quality emergency care. Your input and collaboration are essential to the ongoing improvement of these resources >>> read more

Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in
|
---|
The Professional Board for Emergency Care (PBEC) last reviewed its Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in 2017. We have received some positive and negative feedback since introducing the CPGs. One of the types of feedback received was that the document was too lengthy and thus difficult to digest. We have considered this feedback and others. A service provider is currently developing clinical decision support tools (CDSTs). These are reference resources designed to support clinical decision-making. >>> read more
