title: An integrated platform for portable clinical data, collaboration, and interactive education.
abstract: We describe Apprentice, an innovative web-based patient record that combines clinical data, tools for collaborative task-management, and an integrated, interactive educational platform. The system makes this information available to providers in a handheld format to bring knowledge and education to the bedside. Apprentice is incorporated into preexisting clinical and educational computer systems within a large academic medical center.
