Value of a cognitive simulation in medicine: towards optimizing decision making performance of healthcare personnel.

Medical errors can be reduced or avoided by training in both factual knowledge and in optimal information processing. The latter is of special importance when task settings are complex, when information about a patients condition is ambiguous and ...

Using the Web to aid biochemists and microbiologists: an example of computer-based learning using PCR as an example.

The aim of this study was two-fold: to make available to the medical community a fast, efficient tool for troubleshooting PCR problems, and to demonstrate that hypermedia allow one to approach this kind of problem in a new, more useful way. The Web ...
