Abstract:
The Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Office of Medical Education &Student Services directed the IUSM Educational Technology Unit to develop a Clinical Encounters Tracking system in response to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education's (LCME) updated accreditation standards. A personal digital assistant (PDA) and centralized database server solution was implemented. Third-year medical students are required to carry a PDA on which they record clinical encounter experiences during all clerkship clinical rotations. Clinical encounters data collected on the PDAs are routinely uploaded to the central server via the PDA HotSyncing process. Real-time clinical encounter summary reports are accessed in the school's online curriculum management system: ANGEL. The resulting IUSM Clinical Encounters Tracking program addresses the LCME accreditation standard which mandates the tracking of medical students' required clinical curriculum experiences.
