Sustainable health and social care system in the community
Published in Ben Y.F. Fong, Martin C.S. Wong, The Routledge Handbook of Public Health and the Community, 2021
Besides, modern medical simulation education tools should be introduced for training health care providers including students in the medical schools, residents, social workers and medical teams. For instance, the implementation of Virtual Patient Simulator system (example see: https://insimu.com/) can help students learn to solve problems best by ‘doing’, applying the knowledge they gain in the classroom to realistic medical problems and learning from their mistakes in a ‘safe’ environment. It is important for them to develop their clinical reasoning through the software and more accurate diagnosis in avoidance of medical accidents through more practises with the simulation tools.

The present study combines virtual simulation and high technology mannequin (Sim Man 3G) that controlled by computer software and connect via wireless to the mannequin. Previous studies have revealed the positive outcomes of using simulations and high fidelity mannequins, such as building caretaker self efficacy (Shinnick et al., 2011), critical thinking, communication, confidence, and satisfaction (Hall, 2017). Virtual patient scenarios provide safer practice opportunities than treating real patients (Lin et al., 2012). Students trained with a high fidelity simulator performed better on knowledge-based assessments (Smithburger et al., 2012).
Bayesian Statistical Methodology in the Medical Device Industry
Published in Emmanuel Lesaffre, Gianluca Baio, Bruno Boulanger, Bayesian Methods in Pharmaceutical Research, 2020
Unlike historical data, data created by a SEM have virtually unlimited sample size. Therefore, an appropriate weighting approach is required. Additionally, we would like a method for discounting the virtual patients in cases where there is heterogeneity between current and virtual patient studies. One approach is to use the power prior framework introduced by Ibrahim and Chen (2000) and discussed in Chapter 6 to discount the prior generated by virtual patients.

Immersive virtual patient can be created by simulated VR (computer-generated 2D/3D objects) or real VR (360° video (Baukal et al., 2013). However, there are limits arising from the fact that there is an avatar, for example, that cannot provide the complexities of language processing and facial expressions (Pottle, 2019). Moreover, using simulated VR requires more time and money than a film in 360°, whereas 360° VR is easy to use and can allow teachers to create their own content (Roche et al., 2021). Our study underlines the feasibility of developing a less expensive immersive virtual patient, thereby showing that VR can be an interesting and effective teaching tool. Cost-effectiveness analysis could be calculated to determine benefits of immersive virtual patient. In the future, research should evaluate the relative efficacy of different forms of immersive and interactive VR, and there is also a need for more studies on UX design, attitude, and clinical practice (Kyaw et al., 2019; Mäkinen et al., 2022). The practicality of several virtual patient design variants should be explored (Kiesewetter et al., 2020). Another study underlined that multiple scenarios could overcome context specificity and attenuate the effect of chance and examiner bias (Eva et al., 2004).

All first-year students at The Ohio State University College of Medicine interviewed the Virtual Patient as part of the curriculum that teaches clinical skills and patient care. Students were instructed to conduct a complete medical history, including History of Present Illness (HOPI), Past Medical History (PMH), Family History, and Social History of our VSP with back pain. Students were taught the basics of the patient interview prior to practicing with the VSP. For most students, the interview with the VSP was their first opportunity to practice the elements of the complete patient interview. At the conclusion of the encounter, students downloaded an analysis of their session which categorized their questions into the appropriate domains (HOPI, PMH, etc.) and identified any missing elements in each section. Students also downloaded an expert’s approach to the case for comparison.
Exploring students’ [pre-pandemic] use and the impact of commercial-off-the-shelf learning platforms on students’ national licensing exam performance: A focused review – BEME Guide No. 72

One limitation of our study in guiding educational practice is that it focused on the use of MedED-COTS for exam preparation rather than course preparation. However, there are published research studies that reflect the use of online platforms that are integrated into medical education curricula such as Aquifer. Ninety-seven percent of US allopathic schools subscribe to Aquifer based on company data in 2021 (Aquifer Inc. 2021). This platform consists of virtual patient cases that provide students exposure to clinical conditions or populations they may not have access to in patient settings. For example, Aquifer virtual cases fill a gap in geriatric training (Sehgal et al. 2019). Lecturio, an online medical education resource, has also added a series of virtual patient cases to facilitate graduate medical education as well as enhance undergraduate medical education (Lecturio GmbH 2021). These and other examples are bound to emerge in the literature as studies of outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency are undertaken and will speak to practice recommendations for educators.
