A FHIR based platform for case-based instruction of health professions students has been developed and field tested. The system provides a non-technical case authoring tool; supports individual and team learning using digital virtual patients; and allows integration of SMART Apps into cases via its simulated EMR. Successful trials at the University of Queensland have led to adoption at the University of Melbourne.
