  2. Objectives • This short overview provides you with information about virtual patients, what they are, some material on how to create them, and what help you might need. • It links to examples from our series on ‘Using EMRs in Patient Interviews’

  4. What the heck is a Virtual Patient? • What a VP is not: • Not virtual reality or virtual world • Try a Virtual Patient about Virtual Patients

  5. 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...

  6. 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.

  7. So why aren’t we working directly with an EMR? • Better focus on clinical case • Better feedback • Better assessment of strengths and weaknesses

  8. Do I need programming skills? • No you don’t

  9. 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

  10. Who would be able to help? • A computer savvy person with some skills in HTML

  11. Is the software free? • Yes, all the software mentioned here is available for free.

  12. 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

  13. 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
