Architecture of a student training computer program for preparing professional outpatient consulting skills within an electronic medical records system during COVID-19 alertness situation

Abstract

One of the important goals of a medical education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is a broad introduction of simulated-based teaching methods, which might include elements of robotics and artificial intelligence. We analyzed computer programs that are currently used for maintaining medical records of patients by various polyclinics of Kazan city. Based on these results, we summarized requirements for a training computer program that could provide students with medical records maintaining skills and developed program's preliminary architecture. Our main attention focused on modeling situations that are associated with pre-hospital stage processing of medical records for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

Structural Model of a Training Computer Program for Improving Professional Skills of a Student in a Role of a District Polyclinic Physician

“…Main characteristics of such training programs (to provide an acceptable level of simulation) are their similarity to existing commercial products, a capability to evaluate student's actions and to help him/her during a task execution. This work, being an extension of our previous conference paper [15], presents an architecture and interfaces for the MIS training program for students of higher medical schools.…”

“…One of the goals of the program is to combine disparate information (patient data, proposed treatment and additional literature) within a single block to allow transforming theoretical knowledge into practical skills [15]. Collecting information from a patient and conducting an objective examination of the patient comprise a preliminary stage of work.…”
