  1. MedBiquitous Orientation Chara BalasubramaiamMedBiquitous Europe Valerie SmothersMedBiquitous MedBiquitous Annual Conference May 9, 2011

  2. Objectives At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to: • Describe what a technology standard is and the potential benefits standards afford • Describe technology standards developed by MedBiquitous • Identify opportunities for collaboration and integration leveraging standards

  3. Overview • Introductions • What is MedBiquitous? • What advances have been made? • Summary • How to participate

  4. IntroductionsWhat do you hope to learn today?

  5. What is MedBiquitous?

  6. MedBiquitous Mission To advance healthcare education through technology standards that promote professional competence, collaboration, and better patient care. Not-for-profit, member-driven, standards development organization

  7. The Fragmented Healthcare Industry Universities AccreditingBodies Societies ? LicensingBoards CertifyingBoards Government InternationalPartners

  8. How it all started… And it kept growing…

  9. MedBiquitous: Technology Standards for Healthcare Education • 50 member organizations • 8 Working Groups • ANSI process • Openness • Transparency • Consensus • Due process • Work with leading organizations that can drive adoption Professional Profile Learning Objects Activity Reporting Metrics Virtual Patients Curriculum Inventory Competencies Educational Trajectory

  10. MedBiquitous Goals • Better tracking and evaluation of professional education and certification activities • Easier discovery of relevant education and information resources when and where needed • Interoperability and sharing of high quality online education • Coordination and tracking of competence assessment data

  11. MedBiquitous Process Executive committee • Approves new standards projects • Meets via telco, in person • Develops specifications • Consensus body • Votes • Final approval Working groups Standards committee ANSI

  12. Why standards?

  13. Why standards? Activity You are designing your own searchable cookbook for all of the recipes you download from the internet. Develop a data structure for a cooking recipe. Describe some of the benefits of having this standard. 10 min

  14. Why standards? • To facilitate exchange of data and resources • To enable collaboration • To create economies and networks of scale

  15. Your Challenges Activity What information exchange, coordination, or integration challenges do you have? 5 min

  16. What Standards has MedBiquitous created?

  17. Sharing Educational Resources • MedBiquitous Virtual Patient (Chara) • The eViP Programme (Chara) • Healthcare LOM (Valerie) • mEducator (Chara)

  18. Virtual Patients Definition:An interactive computer simulation of real-life clinical scenarios for the purpose of medical training, education, or assessment. Why? Several schools are developing Need a framework that would allow these virtual patients to be shared across systems

  19. Why Share Virtual Patients? Costly to develop Time consuming to develop Requires significant technical, subject matter, and pedagogical expertise

  20. How Technology Standards for Virtual Patients Could Work <XML> Institution A Institution B

  21. NetworkEffect Created by Derrick Coetzee

  22. Why technology standards? Leverage content developed elsewhere (VP banks) Coordinate development efforts across a discipline (ex. Geriatrics Education) Coordinate with other learning systems (SCORM 2004) Provide flexibility in choosing VP authoring and delivery system (protecting your investment)

  23. MedBiquitous Virtual Patient Specification SCORM Package

  24. electronic Virtual Patients 3-Year programme involving 6 separate projects 9 European partners and other collaborators Co-funded by the European Commission “To create a shared online bank of virtual patients, adapted for multicultural and multilingual use, for the improved quality and efficiency of medical and healthcare education across the world” www.virtualpatients.eu

  25. eViP Partners St George’s, University of London, UK Karolinska Institutet, Sweden Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany University of Warwick, UK Universiteit Maastricht, Netherlands Heidelberg University, Germany University of Medicine Cluj-Napoca, Romania Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Poland University of Witten Herdecke, Germany www.virtualpatients.eu

  26. VP Repurposing and Enrichment “Repurposing is to convert a VP created for one purpose into a VP fit for another purpose” “Content enrichment is to add different learning objects such as text, videos, sounds, images, animations, assessments and even Second Life scenarios to an existing VP in order to enhance the educational value of that VP” eViP definition: http://www.virtualpatients.eu/about-evip/about-the-project/evip-definitions/ Led by Karolinska Institutet (Sweden) involving all partners www.virtualpatients.eu

  27. Typical Repurposing Workflow Repurposed and enriched demo cases available here:http://www.virtualpatients.eu/resources/demos/ www.virtualpatients.eu

  28. How are VPs used? Problem-based learning Teaching Learning Exams www.virtualpatients.eu

  29. Problem-based Learning Sessions

  30. Teaching Sessions

  31. Self-directed Learning

  32. Formative and Summative Exams

  33. Outcomes Referatory of 320+ collective VPs for multilingual, multicultural access, and integrated into curricula Tried and tested standards Sustainable network of faculties for the development and exchange of VPs Common content licensing model Major resource for medical and healthcare education to be shared by all institutions across the sector www.virtualpatients.eu

  34. Healthcare LOM • Mechanism for describing images and learning content in a repository & portfolio • Easier search and discovery, potentially automated • Extends IEEE LOM • Used by AAMC, HEAL, VA

  35. Healthcare LOM Uses Title: Aresenic Toxicity Keyword: Environmental medicine, MeSH D019550 Target audience: Physician, registered nurse Credits:: CME 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1; CNE 1.7 contact hours Title: Preventing sports injuries Target audience: Patient Health Education DatabaseB

  36. Healthcare LOM Structure

  37. Healthcare LOM Structure

  38. mEducator: A Best Practice Network forRepurposing and SharingMedical Educational Multi-type Content co-funded by the European Commission eContentplus programme http://www.meducator.net

  39. co-funded by the European Commission eContentplus programme Setting the Scene LCMS uses Academic Institution uses has/creates autonomous specialized educational modules 44

  40. co-funded by the European Commission eContentplus programme Setting the Scene LCMS Academic Institution LCMS Academic Institution autonomous specialized educational modules LCMS autonomous specialized educational modules • Inter-Institution Communication cannot always be effective Academic Institution 45 autonomous specialized educational modules

  41. co-funded by the European Commission eContentplus programme Setting the Scene Class Discussion Forums • Need of virtual distributed pools of autonomous specialized educational modules Class Wikis • mechanisms for • Searching • Retrieving • Evaluating • educational content in Medicine and Life sciences • Rating • Adapting • Revising

  42. co-funded by the European Commission eContentplus programme mEducator project title: mEducator:Multi-type Content Repurposing and Sharing in Medical Education project type: Best Practice Network programme: eContentplus Information Society & Media Directorate General, Εuropean Commission duration: 2009-2012 consortium: 14 partners from 10 EU countries, lead by AUTH (GR) website: http://www.meducator.net/

  43. Aim: To enable specialized state-of-the-art medical educational content of varying types to be discovered, retrieved, shared and re-used across European higher academic institutions. • How: By implementing and evaluating two different solutions • A “mashup” platform that aggregates content published in isolated Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) • A federated architecture of LCMSs based on Semantic Web Services for search, interchange and delivery of learning objects

  44. Openness mEducator project aims at Openness and Open Educational Resources 49
