From the first question to a treatment plan

Apply clinical knowledge within a virtual patient case.

  1. History-taking screen with the patient conversation and history panel.
    Step 1

    Take a history

    Build the clinical context by exploring the presenting complaint, symptoms and patient history.

  2. Examination region selection and laboratory test cards.
    Step 2

    Examine and investigate

    Review examination findings and consider laboratory and radiology requests in relation to your clinical questions.

  3. Differential diagnosis review and the treatment catalogue.
    Step 3

    Develop diagnostic and treatment decisions

    Bring the available information together, form a diagnostic approach and consider treatment options.

  4. A process network showing transitions between clinical states.
    Step 4

    Review your path

    Use process analysis to revisit the sequence of actions and the transitions between them throughout the case.

The patient and clinical tools in one workspace

Work through history taking, examination, investigations and treatment in the context of the case. At each stage, consider what information you need for the next decision.
