  1. Enabling Interoperability, Accessibility and Reusability of Virtual Patients Findings from the eViP project Zary N, Hege I, Heid J, Kononowicz A, Woodham L, Donkers J www.virtualpatients.eu

  2. Aims of the presentation • What eViP is about • The goals of this sub-project • How we achieved our goals • Results • Challenges • Recommendations eViP www.virtualpatients.eu

  3. What is eViP about? • eViP = Project about electronic Virtual Patients • 3 year (2007-2010) project, 9 partners and co-funded by the European Union • Main outcome • Create a bank of repurposed and enriched multilingual and multicultural virtual patients and share them eViP www.virtualpatients.eu

  4. The goals of the sub-project • Development of the systematic method for exchanging virtual patient cases between VP systems • = eViP application profile • Implementation of the eViP application profile by 4 VP systems • = import/export of VPs eViP www.virtualpatients.eu

  5. Participating systems Campus Web-SP OpenLabyrinth CASUS www.virtualpatients.eu

  6. Result: eViP application profile • The aimofapplicationprofilesistheselection and re-useofexistingelementstotailortotheneedsof a givengroupofusers. • MedBiquitous Virtual Patient 0.48 • MedBiquitous Healthcare Learning ObjectMetadata (Healthcare LOM) • SCORM packages • Conformancetestingsuite • Whatdoesthismean??? eViP www.virtualpatients.eu

  7. The same VP in different systems www.virtualpatients.eu

  8. Challenge 1 • Importing a branched VP to linear VP system Branched VP Linear VP Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node www.virtualpatients.eu

  9. Challenge 1 - Implications • Has to be done manually • Import all branches • Put information about (best) next node(s), end nodes(s) and start node into imported VP www.virtualpatients.eu

  10. Challenge 2 • Importing a linear VP to a branched VP system Branched VP Linear VP Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node Node www.virtualpatients.eu

  11. Challenge 3 • Importing and exporting from "structured" to "unstructured" "Structured" system "Non-Structured" system ??? PhysicalExam Text Element Text Element InterviewItem Text Element Diagnosis Text Element Therapy www.virtualpatients.eu

  12. How the VP systems use different parts of the specifications • Differences • Semi-linear systems use many specialized fields • Linear systems use mostly text elements (VPDText) • Branched systems use many Link and Rule elements • Similarities • All elements in DataAvailabilityModel (DAM) are used • 3 of the 4 systems use XtensibleInfo • Not used elements: Conditional Rules, Counter, Timer, Specialized Body Locations eViP www.virtualpatients.eu

  13. Best practice guidelines • Possibility to override exported content • Conformance level testing • Package validation • XML/XSD validation • Import validation • Runtime validation • External specifications handling • XtensibleInfo • e.g. IMS QTI, W3C Timed Text format • Use same version of specification automated by testing suites manually in target system www.virtualpatients.eu
