2. To create a shared online bank of VPs, adapted for multicultural, multilingual use: for the improved quality and efficiency of healthcare education across the EU electronic Virtual Patients Round 1: 2005…62% Round 2: 2006…89% - Pass!

3. September 2006 eViP 1.Implement common technical standards for VPs and partner software systems, using the MedBiquitous VP specification 2.Collate VPs from partners’ existing collections and select cases for repurposing and enriching to local educational needs. 3. Adapt a subset of VPs for other healthcare disciplines 4.Restructure content to standards-compliant structure and metadata (using MedBiquitous Healthcare LOM) including cultural and language metadata of the partners (English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Romanian) and IMS content packaging. Project outline

4. September 2006 eViP 5.Enrich the content of the repurposed VPs with the addition of supporting resources e.g. supporting clinical science resources, clinical skills videos etc. 6.Share enriched VPs with the wider EU community through an online referatory 7.Provide access to VPs for non-partners through an open source player. 8.Evaluate how the eViP VPs meet the individual needs of the project partners and the wider community. Project outline continued

5. September 2006 eViP 9.Share templates and tools within the EC community for the easy creation of new VPs. 10.Disseminate best practice guidelines and support tools for creating and sharing VPs 11.Embed a sustainable model for the storage and retrieval of VPs beyond the lifetime of the 3-year project Project outline continued
