• Within the scope, rely on evidence-based guidelines using the national care pathways and other provided resources to deduce diagnoses, negotiate and implement care plans, provide health teaching, and assure adequate follow-up to evaluate care effectiveness.
• Intervene in the contexts of unstable clinical situations, effectively facilitate communication with the local and remote consulting teams, and participate in planning, organizing, and implementing medical evacuation as needed.
• Document care according to the guidelines, including using the EMR (electronic medical records).
