MedBiquitous Annual Conference
Baltimore, MD
The group discussed how to promote adoption of the standard. Some ideas shared were:
- International survey on the use of virtual patients
- Documentation of system implementations to facilitate reverse engineering of activity models
- implementation guidelines focused on conformance
- Education, including sessions at AAMC meetings and faculty development
- An invitation for research (is this the way to teach clinical reasoning)
- A publication in the peer-reviewed literature
Next steps
- Find out dates and abstract deadlines for AAMC regional meetings
- Make “sandboxes” and demo accounts available off the MedBiquitous website
Areas for exploration
- Look at the Potential for other types of simulation to be a part of spec, including Virtual worlds.
- Monitor tin can developments and examine how they might be applied to virtual patients
- Monitor physiology engine developments and how they might be applied to virtual patients
