Reliance Foundation and the University of Chicago announced a collaboration to develop innovative technology that will help train medical students and clinicians for better diagnoses and improved health care. The collaboration is also supporting doctors in real time with evidence-based clinical decision-making tools. The partnership will develop cloud-based software applications that can train medical professionals using case studies written by experienced physicians and state-of-the-art clinical reasoning methods. Provided through technology partners i-Human Patients, Inc. and AgileMD, the software will help improve medical education and provide point-of-care clinical decision support tools for health care practitioners. These tools will work to reduce diagnostic errors, improve outcomes and help save many lives. The program will be piloted in Reliance Foundation’s Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai. Reliance Foundation aims to enhance access to quality health care in India. “We are excited to collaborate with the University of Chicago, one of the leading universities, in transforming universal delivery of health care,” said Jagannatha Kumar, CEO of the Reliance Foundation. “Through this collaboration, we look forward to bringing in a technology-based revolution in providing medical education and equipping health care professionals to achieve greater standards of excellence.” Striving to make everyday business tasks more engaging, a growing number of firms, including International Business Machines Corp. and consulting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd., are incorporating elements of videogames into the workplace. They're deploying reward and competitive tactics commonly found in the gaming world to make tasks such as management training, data entry and brainstorming seem less like work. Employees receive points or badges for completing jobs or meeting time limits for assignments, for example. Companies also may use leaderboards, which let players view one another's scores, to encourage friendly competition and motivate performance, experts say
