[Project Summary from June 13, 2005]
With funding from the National Heart Attack Alert Program (NHAAP), the Laboratory of Computer Science developed an Internet-accessible teaching program called Chest Pain - The First 60 Minutes. Its goal is to improve the ability of emergency physicians and triage nurses to recognize patients with acute myocardial infarction and to offer timely state-of-the-art treatments. This self-paced program uses clinical cases that present challenging diagnostic and/or therapeutic management problems. After each case, users receive an extensive critique of their decisions, with literature references to support many of the specific comments and on-line abstracts of the articles cited.
