TheraSim reduces the variation in clinical care delivery and drug development through better tools to measure and improve clinician skills and knowledge.
The TheraSim Clinical Simulator captures a physician's therapeutic decisions and compares them to best practices. The resulting feedback increases the speed and impact of online learning.
TheraSim On-line is the latest and most exciting development in case-based medical communications and education. Clinicians that turn to the Internet for medical information and education are looking for activities that are engaging, interactive, interesting and informative. TheraSim's powerful therapy simulation engine uses treatment path analysis to create realistic and interactive simulations based on actual patient cases. Prior to TheraSim, the current state of the art in case-based tools was text and check-box based. These systems deal with the myriad complexities of medical treatment by drastically limiting those options to just a few choices. These solutions are unrealistic, and actually feed the user the right answer
 

every time, couched by a few wrong answers. This lack of interactivity in on-line CME tools was cited as the #1 complaint by physicians in a recent paper by the Manhattan Research Group.

TheraSim takes a fresh approach. Using a knowledgebase of thousands of clinical references from guidelines, prescribing information and pharmacologic databases, TheraSim's Therapy Simulation Engine dynamically analyzes each therapy choice and evaluates how fit that therapy path is for a specific patient. This adds a level of feedback and interactivity to the system that has never been seen before in medical education tools.
