The Digital Patient

Abstract

The Digital Patient as the medical record provides one positive step to exploit the underlying technologies to manage our patients with higher quality and safety. The electronic medical record (EMR) in its present form is a static dataset, in which each parameter is entered into the record without linking to or affecting any other parameter. The EMR comprises two components include personal information (about the person) and healthcare information (about the provision of care to that person by a healthcare provider). The applications of the EMR focus on healthcare, clinical care, education/training, and research as well as for healthcare administration. The revolution in medical education is objective assessment and training to proficiency, both on real patients and on patient actors, this is an evidence-based education, comparable to today's evidence-based clinical practice. The use of modeling and simulation provides unique educational tools for teaching, training and assessing performance objectively and quantitatively.
