This open source project is a "web-based electronic data capture system for clinical research." The tool lets users manage data, submit new information, extract data, manage accounts and more.

Physicians use and interpret data and standards of varying quality to inform self-assessment. Physicians may benefit from regular and routine feedback and guidance on how to seek out data for self-assessment.

"Diagnostic accuracy was moderately associated with higher certainty only when clinical data were consistent. This correlation disappeared when incon sistent data were provided, possi bly reflecting changes in reasoning strategies among diagnostically success ful trainees. The relationship between certainty and diagnostic accuracy is context dependent. Certainty is an unreliable surrogate for diagnostic accuracy."

"Physicians often redirect patients' initial descriptions of their concerns. Once redirected, the descriptions are rarely completed. Consequences of incomplete initial descriptions include late-arising concerns and missed opportunities to gather potentially important patient data. Soliciting the patient's agenda takes little time and can improve interview efficiency and yield increased data."

"as soon as information is acquired, is very rapidly replaced by still newer information. Our electrically configured world has forced us to move from the habit of data classification to the mode of pattern recognition. We can no longer build serially, block by block, step-by-step, because instant communication ensures that all factors of the environment and of experience coexist in a state of active interplay."

"If you're tracking several data points to see changes over time, you can create an interactive Motion Chart. "

"STATworkUP™ has an immense amount of correlated data between symptoms, tests, diagnoses and treatments. While the app cannot be relied upon to thoroughly determine a differential diagnosis or provide an evidence-based summary of therapy, it can serve as an additional arrow in the clinicians quiver especially when wrestling with an uncommon diagnostic dilemma."

"Sharable free cases created by any author from any institution at any time. Simple non-linear navigation while authoring or learning. Traditional case components such as history (hx), physical examination (pe), etc. are clickable tabs. Flexible searches are created by authors. More keywords for less advanced learners, fewer keywords for more advanced learners Learner-built medical record created on the fly. Review is easy. Immediate feedback is provided by comparing the learner-assigned value with the author's value. Delayed feedback is provided during a final review and the summary. Sortable diagnoses forming a differential are created by the author and learner and compared. Non-linear navigation includes a "Tx" tab so problems can be treated while other data is gathered."

"Despite these drawbacks, one should never be afraid of modifying and re-modifying the evaluation tool - because, in truth, the data on the evaluation form needs to reflect the outcome that you are trying to assess."

"This is the first study of the ICON learning system in undergraduate medical education, a platform designed to facilitate collaboration outside of the classroom. Data on user perceptions and system utilization suggest that both faculty and students chose to adopt this online learning system as a means for collaboration. The study also outlines future avenues for research in assessing novel online technologies."

"These findings suggest that educational interventions can be effective in maintaining and enhancing empathy in undergraduate medical students. In addition, they highlight the need for multicenter, randomized controlled trials, reporting long-term data to evaluate the longevity of intervention effects. Defining empathy remains problematic, and the authors call for conceptual clarity to aid future research."

"The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of mental workload as a key determinant of the type of cognitive processing used by clinicians. Published research appears to be consistent with 'schemata' based cognition as the principle mode of working for those engaged in complex tasks under time pressure. Although conscious processing of factual data is also used, it may be the primary mode of cognition only in situations where time pressure is not a factor. "

"Use OmniGraphSketcher for iPad to make elegant and precise graphs in seconds, whether you have specific data to report or a concept to explain. "

"People love to learn by examining visual representations of data. That's been proven time and time again by the popularity of both infographics and Pinterest. So what if you could make your own infographics? "

"Overwhelmingly, students enjoy CBL and think that it enhances their learning. The empirical data taken as a whole are inconclusive as to the effects on learning compared with other types of activity. Teachers enjoy CBL, partly because it engages, and is perceived to motivate, students. CBL seems to foster learning in small groups though whether this is the case delivery or the group learning effect is unclear."

"In summary, a morning report blog was perceived by learners to be an effective complement to case-based teaching sessions. The combination of novel web metrics and survey data allowed for a multifaceted evaluation of the educational impact of the blog."

Qualitative analysis of the attitudinal surveys following the activity provided data regarding students' preference for the Physical Webbing activity over the traditional lecture, acceptance of participatory manipulatives, perceived learning and attitudes towards collaborative kinesthetic three-dimensional Mind Mapping.

"Conclusion: A few areas of debriefing practice where obvious gaps that deserve study were identified, such as comparing debriefing techniques, comparing trained versus untrained debriefers, and comparing the effect of different debriefing venues and times. A model for publication of research data was developed and presented which should help researchers clarify methodology in future work."

Key benefits of the NAS include the creation of a national framework for assessment that includes comparison data, reduction in the burden associated with the current process-based accreditation system, the opportunity for residents to learn in innovative programs, and enhanced resident education in quality, patient safety, and the new competencies. Over time, we envision that the NAS will allow the ACGME to create an accreditation system that focuses less on the identification of problems and more on the success of programs and institutions in addressing them.

" Simulation because of its unique effects on learning is currently being successfully used by many institutions as a means to produce that integration through its use in the teaching of the basic sciences. Preliminary data indicate that simulation is an effective tool for basic science education and garners high learner satisfaction."
