SIMULATOR TO TEACH AND TEST CANCER PAIN MANAGEMENT

癌症疼痛的频繁治疗不足持续存在，尽管强化 教育努力。原因包括教学难度大 复杂的疼痛管理技能和相关的问题 评估临床能力。我们建议开发一种计算机 模拟器来教授和评估癌症疼痛管理技能。的 模拟器将采用多媒体交互技术， 逼真的学习环境。在这个环境中，用户可以 选择实践案例，评估不同的患者群体，并实践 服用了各种药物患者评估的复杂过程 并强调治疗的评价。模拟器将使用 时间加速以允许用户有效地获得经验。用户 将获得治疗并发症的经验，如镇静，恶心， 呕吐和便秘模拟器将提供在线上下文 基于辅导和一个关键的情况下总结的情况下结束。 拟议的商业应用：一个计算机模拟器，用于教学和测试 癌症疼痛管理技术将享有很大的市场。市场 包括个人、医院、诊所和教学机构。 模拟器的几个版本将针对护士， 麻醉师和实习医生 已经有成功的公司营销其他类型的医疗 模拟器

Frequent undertreatment of cancer pain persists despite intensive educational efforts. The reasons include the difficulty in teaching complex pain management skills and the problems associated with evaluating clinical competence. We propose to develop a computer simulator to teach and evaluate cancer pain management skills. The simulator will use multimedia interactive technology to create a high fidelity learning environment. Within this environment the user can select practice cases, assess a diverse group of patients, and practice with a variety of medications. The complex process of patient assessment and evaluation of treatment will be emphasized. The simulator will use time acceleration to allow a user to efficiently gain experience. Users will gain experience treating complications such as sedation, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. The simulator will provide on-line contextual based tutoring and a critical case summary at case conclusion. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: A computer simulator to teach and test cancer pain management skills would enjoy a large market. The market includes individuals, hospitals, clinics, and teaching institutions. Several versions of the simulator would be targeted at nurses, anesthesiologists, and medical trainees. There are already successful companies marketing other types of medical simulators.
