This white paper explores how achievement of specific items within a DCE assignment demonstrate changes over time for clinical judgment skills.

White paper highlights

  • Elsevier’s Shadow Health Digital Clinical Experiences provide realistic interactions with virtual patients using a patented conversation engine.
  • Clinical judgment behaviors such as Recognize Cues, Analyze Cues, Prioritize Hypothesis, Generate Solutions, Take Actions, and Evaluate Outcomes are integrated within each of the DCE patient interactions, giving learners the opportunity to practice and develop these critical skills in a standardized environment.
  • This helps learners build confidence in their clinical judgment skills and become more effective at delivering high-quality care to a diverse population of patients.
