System and method for clinical patient care simulation and evaluation

摘要

An evaluation system and method are provided for simulating clinical care of a virtual patient. A database of electronic medical records (EMRs) is established, with at least one EMR including a plurality of EMR items collectively profiling the virtual patient. A simulation management unit coupled to the database includes a plurality of selectively executable control modules. At least one control module defines a simulation scenario; and, at least one other control module generates a duplicate EMR of the virtual patient for each of a plurality of simulation participants. At least one evaluator station establishes interactive interface for an evaluator. A plurality of participant stations establish interactive access for the simulation participants to a corresponding one of the duplicate EMRs during a simulated clinical encounter with the virtual patient. The simulation management unit independently updates the duplicate EMRs for the simulation participants responsive to clinical actions respectively taken by those participants.
