electronic Virtual Patients To create a shared online bank of VPs, adapted for multicultural, multilingual use: for the improved quality and efficiency of healthcare education across the EU Round 1: 2005…62% Round 2: 2006…89% - Pass!
Project outline Implement common technical standards for VPs and partner software systems, using the MedBiquitous VP specification Collate VPs from partners’ existing collections and select cases for repurposing and enriching to local educational needs. Adapt a subset of VPs for other healthcare disciplines Restructure content to standards-compliant structure and metadata (using MedBiquitous Healthcare LOM) including cultural and language metadata of the partners (English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Romanian) and IMS content packaging. eViP
Project outline continued Enrich the content of the repurposed VPs with the addition of supporting resources e.g. supporting clinical science resources, clinical skills videos etc. Share enriched VPs with the wider EU community through an online referatory Provide access to VPs for non-partners through an open source player. Evaluate how the eViP VPs meet the individual needs of the project partners and the wider community. eViP
Project outline continued • Share templates and tools within the EC community for the easy creation of new VPs. • Disseminate best practice guidelines and support tools for creating and sharing VPs • Embed a sustainable model for the storage and retrieval of VPs beyond the lifetime of the 3-year project eViP
eViP and MedBiquitous • All Project members signed up to MedBiquitous, using MedBiquitous Virtual Patient specification and Healthcare LOM for metadata • Major opportunity to test, develop and embed the MVP specification in an international setting eViP MedBiquitous Europe • Set up to promote local interest in common technical standards for VPs (in the first instance) • Permits other European partners to join the eVIP group by another route
Enabling Collaboration for Healthcare Education. Mission: To advance healthcare education through technology standards that promote professional competence, collaboration, and better patient care.
Major Outcomes eViP • Common standard to uniformly describe the VPs • Referatory’ of 320 collective VPs for multi-lingual, multicultural access, and integrated into the curricula of project partners • Sustainable network of European medical faculties for the development and exchange of VPs • Annual evaluation surveys used to improve VPs • Common content licensing model developed for open exchange of materials • First large-scale international collaboration around the exchange of virtual patients • Major resource for medical and healthcare education throughout Europe
