(författare) Creating and validating e-cases as educational tools in general practitioners' continuing medical education context 2018 Ingår i: Bio-Algorithms and Med-Systems. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 1895-9091 .- 1896-530X. ; 14:1 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Objective: This study aimed at creating electronic cases (e-cases) and analyzing their validity as a diagnostic assessment tool within the context of continuing medical education (CME) to measure general practitioners' (GPs) knowledge of common infectious disease. Methods: We designed assessment e-cases in an electronic CME platform. The e-cases were designed to measure GPs' knowledge about diagnosis and treatment of common infectious disease in outpatient settings. The data collected were analyzed for five forms of evidence: content, response process, internal structure, relations with other variables and consequences. Results: A total of 46 GPs participated in the study. Among them, 87% perceived the e-cases as resembling the patients whom they visit in their everyday practice. Although attendance in this activity made 85% of the participants more cautious about prescription of antibiotics, we could not detect any statistically significant association between the assessment scores and the physicians' previous antibiotic prescription. The diagnos- e tic assessment with e-cases was supported by most of the elements of validity evidence, including content, response process, internal structure and consequences. Conclusions: Overall, evidence suggests that using e-cases might be a valid diagnostic assessment CME activity to measure GPs' knowledge of common infectious disease, but more research is necessary.
