There's a varying range of case study implementation tips available to you. Select from the list below for more information:
Ticket to Class
Use the case study as a ticket to enter the class.
Assign the entire or a part of the case study for the students to complete outside of class time. Students should have their part ready if they want to enter class.
When only assigning a part of the Case Study, answer the remaining case study questions together as a group for an in-class learning activity or place the students into small groups and have them complete the remainder of the case study.
Rationale
This learning method builds critical thinking by hearing ideas and reasoning from peers and it provides an effective way to ensure students come to class well-prepared.
Lecture Material for Faculty
Select a case study that is appropriate for lecture and use itas your lecture material while completing the case study as a group.
Rationale
This is a great way for students to practice high level questions in preparation for HESI exams or faculty created exams. Students get engaged in the lecture and discussion, while building their critical thinking. Also it saves time preparing course materials.
Break the students into small groups and have them take turns with a question and present their case. Then let the other groups provide rationale for why they agree or disagree.
Rationale
This activity provides a learning opportunity for students to hear the rationales of their peers and build critical thinking.
Exam Preparation or Ticket to Test
Select a few appropriate case studies that’ll be covered in the upcoming exam. Use the assigned case studies as a ticket to test. Students must complete the assigned case studies with a required passing percentage before they can sit for their exam. For example, you might allow a student two attempts to score an 80% or greater. This will serve as their ticket to test.
Rationale
It’s important for students to have frequent exposure and practice with high level question that case studies provide.
Remediation: (Individual Student or Cohort)
Use the HESI data from the individual student reports to identify an individual student's or cohort’s weakness. Assign the appropriate case study(s) to the student or cohort to complete as remediation or as group learning activity.
Rationale
This method provides students with an opportunity to improve areas of weakness and prepare for future exams and NCLEX while allowing the faculty to identify program gaps and make necessary curriculum changes.
Focused Clinical
Assign a case study based on the clinical focus topic (as it relates to lecture) to be completed prior to the clinical experience and use pre or post conference as a time to discuss and/or complete the case study. Have students compare/contrast their actual patient care to the case study information.
Rationale
This exercise allows students the ability to build a clinical - classroom connection, while comparing and contrasting fosters critical thinking.
Clinical or Lab Make-Up
Assign several case studies to complete for students who don’t attend clinical or lab. Allow two to three attempts with a passing score of 100%. No grade is awarded, rather they just fulfil their clinical or lab requirement.This can be their ticket to attend the next scheduled clinical/lab day.
Rationale
This method provides an example for how important clinical or lab is to learning and deters students from missing valuable clinical or lab time.
Documentation Practice
After completing the case study get the students to document the patient’s clinical data as a practice exercise.
Rationale
This exercise allows students the ability to build a clinical - classroom connection and provides them with some experience in documentation skills.

So, in your case studies, it's important to describe the implementation in detail. You need to talk about any difficulties or obstacles that were encountered and how they were overcome. This builds credibility with tech buyers. It answers some of their most important questions.
LibrarySearch is one place to start when looking for case studies. You can find specialised case study journals, books that include case studies, and articles based on case studies.
Extract key insights effortlessly from large volumes of data, saving you time and effort in manually analyzing and synthesizing information. Enhance accuracy and reliability by eliminating human error and bias in data analysis, ensuring your findings are objective and trustworthy.
Use keyword searches in article databases . For example: "case studies and airlines" or "case studies and management". Full-text articles and abstracts are available, depending on the journal. Article database that indexes academic journals, trade publications, newspapers and magazines in business and economics.
Make a note of any ideas that you think of. Answer the question linking relevant theories and concepts to specific information from the case study. Usually you will need to write your answers in clearly formed paragraphs which have a clear topic that is well-supported with evidence and examples.
