FLUIDMOD: A Versatile CAI System for Medical Students,
Abstract
FLUIDMOD is an interactive program for student practice and instruction in the medical treatment of fluid and electrolyte problems in human patients. The FLUIDMOD program uses a mathematical model of the patient so that a student, sitting at a graphics console, may work his way completely through the sequence of steps of a given therapeutic problem. In this manner, he is actively involved in simulated patient management. In addition, FLUIDMOD contains interactive programs to simulate the clinical patient-management environment: doctor's orders, nursing notes, the patient chart and record, etc., are provided. Finally, FLUIDMOD will eventually contain instructional programs to which the student may branch as required. (Author)
