Implementing wireless evaluation in a hospital-based OSCE center.
To provide an effective and efficient means to gather assessment data during Objective Structured Clinical Examinations [OSCEs] and integrate the data into ANGEL, the Indiana University School of Medicine's [IUSM] curriculum management system, a wireless approach using PDAs was selected, configured and evaluated. Following a systems architecture and human-computer interface analysis of the project, a system with less functionality but greater reliability was designed and implemented.
