MedBiquitous Europe and its role in improving technology standards for medical and healthcare education

Healthcare educators face common challenges in their work to educate and assess healthcare students and practicing professionals. Yet it is often difficult for healthcare educators to share learning resources and information with one another in the current fragmented environment of healthcare education. MedBiquitous was founded to address those problems. Founded by Johns Hopkins Medicine in and leading professional medical societies, MedBiquitous is a not-for-profit, international group of professional medical and healthcare associations, universities, commercial, and governmental organizations dedicated to advancing healthcare education through technology standards that promote professional competence, collaboration, and better patient care. MedBiquitous is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop information technology standards for healthcare education and competence assessment [1].
