Virtual Patients:
Pharmaceutical Care Plans for CMS
Pharmacy
• The aim is to complete a Pharmacy Care plan by asking the virtual patient a set of questions, these can be using key words or freely typing your own.
• Patient responses grow over time, so the more the virtual patients are used – the more the technology will grow!
• Once the consultation with the virtual patient is complete you receive feedback on your consultation skills; what you did well and what could have been better.
• Using the Virtual Patient software allows you to compare your completed care plan with a model answer.
