title: The MuPSi project--a learning environment for multiprofessional collaboration.
abstract: Students studying for different professions within the field of health care need to practice both multiprofessional collaboration and use of HIS and EPR software. The MuPSi concept utilizes computer-mediated communication to provide students access to a EPR software to enable the students to act collaboratively as members of a virtual health care team. The students are given a fictive patient case and use the EPR software to plan and document the care they provide. In order to achieve a higher grade of authenticity the case is presented as segments--the teachers direct the simulation by recording events that change the situation into the patient record.
