Real problems: a layered approach to constructing a patient simulation.
We propose and have implemented a program, called "Real Problems", for the authoring of simulated patient encounters. This program uses a layered database approach to separate the unchanging sections of the program from the more patient-specific sections, so as to increase the speed of authoring. The user's interest is maintained through the use of graphics, sound and extensive feedback.
