Global Treatment Protocol Course via Advanced

"For this Phase I project, Medantic Technology (MT) proposes to develop an algorithmic treatment protocol structure that can be populated with approved treatment protocols and embedded within an intelligent tutoring system, combining both didactic andsimulation pedagogical platforms. MT will leverage its experience in Military Medicine, instructional design and Distance Learning, including both didactic and patient simulation technology, to deliver the conceptual design, functional and technicalspecifications for a complete training solution, as well as sample demonstrations of the new technology. The dual method (demonstration and practice) training system will be fully implemented in Phase II and will be Web-based for worldwide access.Didactic content will be available on handheld devices for remote use. The Web-based solution will include an LMS for tracking and reporting content usage and student performance.By re-purposing Medantic Technology's existing clinical knowledge base along with the new algorithmic data structure and protocol simulation architecture developed in this Phase I, Phase II work can include development of a decision support tool as anoperational aid to healthcare personnel when implementing diagnostic and treatment protocols. With simple modification of the protocol simulation platform, this tool could provide synchronous, patient-specific protocol guidance, including via handhelddevices. The Institute of
