Medical Students Meet User Driven Health Care for Patient Centered Learning in Clinical Medicine

Udhc Platform Advantages

This clinical problem-solving forum evolved to address the current problem of individual patients having to travel long distances at great expense to face unbearable wait times. At UDHC the patient’s information travels through a network of dedicated health professionals who provide input for the patients’ medical provider to assist in diagnosis, treatment and follow up care rather than the patient having to make this journey.

This platform is an extension of telemedicine and information technologies now in use that provides the patients with clinical health care at a distance(Finkelstein, Speedie, Zhou, Potthoff, & Ratner, 2011). The difference is that this platform gives the patient a voice and it is an ecological way to join the needs for students for interactive patient care and for patients who have the benefit of being able to ask about their intervention or diagnosis without the crowding of an urgent time limited medical appointment(Price, Chandra et al., 2013).
