Collaboration Across Disciplines to Integrate Clinical Expertise into Medical Software Development: The Approach of the Dedalus Medical Office.

Medical informatics is a multidisciplinary field combining clinical and technical expertise. Addressing the challenge of aligning software design with clinicians' real-world needs, Dedalus established the Medical Office, a dedicated department designed to integrate clinical expertise directly into the software development process, in 2022. This paper details the approach and impact of the Medical Office.

Enhancing Clinical Practice: Creating Dynamic Medical Content in Electronic Medical Records.

The integration of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) revolutionized healthcare but often retained limitations from paper-based structures. This study proposes a framework for developing dynamic medical content specifically adapted to the clinical context including medical specialty and diseases. Tailoring content to this dynamic context offers several benefits, including improved access to relevant information, streamlined workflows, and potentially better patient outcomes.

Creating a Novel Disaster Medicine Virtual Reality Training Environment.

Introduction: Disasters are high-acuity, low-frequency events which require medical providers to respond in often chaotic settings. Due to this infrequency, skills can atrophy, so providers must train and drill to maintain them. Historically, drilling for disaster response has been costly, and thus infrequent.

Development and Evaluation of a Virtual Research Environment to Improve Quality of Care in Overcrowded Emergency Departments: Observational Study.

Background: Despite a wide range of literature on emergency department (ED) overcrowding, scientific knowledge on emergency physicians' cognitive processes coping with overcrowding is limited.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a virtual research environment that will allow us to study the effect of physicians' strategies and behaviors on quality of care in the context of ED overcrowding.

Methods: A simulation-based observational study was conducted over two stages: the development of a simulation model and its evaluation.
