Virtual PatientsPharmaceutical Care Plans for
CMS

• 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.
