Diagnostic Games as a Teaching Tool.

Diagnostic games were developed in the 70s of the last century for elicitation and formalization of the physician's clinical experience. This laborious technique was successfully used to elaborate decision rules for several complex clinical problems but had no further development. Modern information and communication technologies and achievements of medical informatics allow developing digital transformation of diagnostic games. One of the areas of application of this new technology may be simulating of clinical decision making for educational purposes.
