WHY A VP STANDARD? sharing | repurposing |adoption
vpSim Experience: Export & Import with the MedBiq VP spec export is hard – import is (very) hard > 5000 lines of code vpSim Player application is 1800 lines THREE steps: 1) export to valid XML and content package 2) import back into vpSim or “round-trip” 3) import others’ cases into vpSim
The Reality Test selected 26 representative cases from eVip Referatory criteria: technical import (y/n), text, media, questions, logic examples…

Observations everyone likes “free” cases over 550 cases on DecisionSim, none were imported Web-SP has imported all CASUS cases better if similar case design (linear vs. branching) import/export technically challenging why not just cut & paste from browser window? many VPs are not MedBiq VPs – DxR, MedU (CLIPP)
