Interprofessional Education

EdCIS =Educational Clinical Information System

Why EdCISVision Our students are leaders in using and understanding current and emerging interprofessional Clinical Information Systems. MissionDevelop and use an educational clinical information system (EdCIS) as part of a quality interprofessional learning environment to support safety and quality of health care.

EdCIS requirements Educationally sound

Levelled and unfolding case studies

Student as clinician with numerous “master” patients and multiple interprofessional roles and access

Integrated (new “LMS”) Longitudinal (across student’s

time in program)

Supports interprofessional education

Design-based research approach Iterative Real-world Formative evaluation

Open Source

Research approach

Reference: Reeves, 2006

Our design process1. Environmental Survey:

Reviewed vendor productsLooked for open source applications

2. Assessed development capacity 3. Brought together an interprofessional team

Problems with existing applications

Most existing products are nurse or physician centric

Cost is prohibitive for education

US based practice models

Privacy concerns on US cloud

OpenMRS - promising solution

Looked at largest EHR: VA Vista

Decided on OpenMRSIn process of

installing, customizing

Iterative design process

Simple to more complexAdapt design using evaluationBuild capacity
