The Online Deteriorating Patient: An Adaptive Simulation to Foster Expertise in Emergency Decision-Making

The deteriorating patient activity (DPA) is a low-fidelity educational simulation that prepares medical students to effectively approach emergency situations. This paper outlines how we have captured and represented expertise in rapidly changing emergency situations to develop a dynamic and adaptive computerized model of the DPA to enhance medical teaching and learning.
