University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Adopts LCMS+ 

We are proud to welcome the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine as our newest client school. The UC College of Medicine was founded in 1819 and is the second oldest public medical school in the U.S. 

 

Known for its strong educational programs, student services, research and clinical facilities, the College is affiliated with one of the nation's leading academic hospitals, the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

 

We look forward to our partnership with the UC College of Medicine and welcome them to the family of LCMS+ schools!

Great opportunities open here soon!  
 
LCMS+ is getting ready to build our team to include more technical developers and healthcare education specialists who can help us accelerate the development of our core product and talk with you in depth about the enhancements you'd like to see.

Team-based learning hits the beach

The Team-Based Learning Collaborative will hold its annual meeting in San Diego from February 28 - March 2. The TBLC is a group of educators dedicated to supporting faculty from a variety of disciplines who have implemented or wish to implement team-based learning. 
 
LCMS+ supports team-based learning modalities and assessment with specialized tools like electronic scratch-off forms and team-based exams where one team member takes an exam and all team members receive credit. If you'd like to learn more about how we can help with your TBL teaching efforts, drop us a line! 
How do clerkships work in LCMS+? 
 
LCMS+ treats clerkships as any other course, with one exception: A course marked as a clerkship will be tied to our Patient Encounter Tracking system (PET). The PET system allows students to record the patient types and procedures that they encounter on their clinical rotations and offers reporting based on feedback from both students and their SPs.

Click here to try out the PET system in LCMS+ and let us know what you think!
Do you use LCMS+ on Windows� 7 or 8?
Here's an easy way to report any bugs 
 
Do you know about Windows� Problem Step Recorder? Windows PSR is a built-in tool that helps you document the path to a specific bug or trouble issue on your computer. We've added a video tutorial on our YouTube channel to show you how.

If you're running Windows 7 or 8, you can use Windows PSR to record the steps you took to encounter the bug. Then you can save the recording and attach it to a trouble ticket in our Client Services portal. This really helps us understand the nature of the problem you encountered and how we can best help you solve it.

(Sorry, Apple users - nothing like this built in to the Mac. There are some third-party tools that do the same thing, although we can't recommend any particular one.)
Winning new designs for EHR apps

Electronic health records have never been known for their ease of navigation or elegant design. But now, the Health Design Challenge to redesign the EHR has brought to life some big new ideas. The challenge was launched in November by the White House and a new community of philanthropic angel investors called Designer Fund 
 
The winning design, called "Nightingale", addresses problems like medication plans that are tough to understand, unintuitive formatting, impersonal statistics, and the general feel of a decades-old print-out. It will be the basis of the open-sourced final version of the downloadable medical record that other healthcare providers could adopt.

A combination of the best submissions will be open-sourced and implemented as the record format for the Veterans Affairs Administration and its 6 million patients.
