InNetwork CME - Making a Decision on Clinical Decision-Making Tools

Included in Plus and Premium Memberships!

AAPA’s InNetwork CME offers specialty spotlights on various topics, created for PAs, by PAs.

This presentation will explore the use and integration of various clinical decision-making tools into PA practice. Following the review of each tool (including those related to cardiac, neurologic, pulmonary, infectious, musculoskeletal, and other related complaints), the extent to which each tool is supported by the literature will be discussed. This will help PAs most effectively risk stratify, diagnose, and manage patients presenting with these common complaints in an efficient and effective way.

Learning Objectives


At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Define a framework to guide clinical decision-making
  • Consider the use of validated, often used clinical decision-making instruments
  • Employ clinical decision-making tools to support the evaluation and management of common primary care and emergency medicine problems
  • Evaluate the research exploring the accuracy and appropriateness of clinical decision-making tools
