Abstract:
Clinical cases play an instrumental role in medical school education and the continuing education of practicing physicians. To date, few case repositories are available that are interdisciplinary, searchable, or have properties enabling user contribution and feedback. In this research, we explored the design of such a system called Casepedia, using contextual inquiry and rapid prototyping techniques. Casepedia provides a Web 2.0 platform that will allow medical professionals to publish, comment on, and classify authentic cases.
