or virtual world• Try a Virtual Patient
about Virtual Patients
The EMR is just a tool
• So why would I want to spend time on this?• Learn to communicate well while
using an EMR and...
The Perils and Pitfalls of Power Tools
• Bandsaws and hammers?• We tried to illustrate in our case examples
how using an EMR requires knowledge of more than just where to click.
So why aren’t we working directly with an EMR?
• Better focus on clinical case• Better feedback• Better assessment of strengths
and weaknesses
Do I need programming skills?
• No you don’t
Do I need help?
• In many ways, kohai, but...• Not for your good stories and
cases• Yes for building the fancy stuff
such as EMR interface links
Who would be able to help?
• A computer savvy person with some skills in HTML
Is the software free?
• Yes, all the software mentioned here is available for free.
How do I get started?
• Take a look at our case examples• Find out more about VPs in general– This page is about OpenLabyrinth
but the principles apply to all VPs.
• Think of good cases or stories• Find out more about
the VUE concept mapping tool
How do I get my case from storyboard to full Virtual Patient?
• Basic steps are not hard• But there are some wee
frustrations• Early phases are a bit geeky• Creating a full case with fancy
EMR interface is harder
