A care team can show how staff document a visit without filming a patient or exposing a home. A commissioned simulation can help evaluate whether a documentation assistant records an observation correctly and flags missing information. Protege’s healthcare offering shows that companies pursue permissioned clinical data. It does not establish that a buyer wants your staged training collection.

Record a fictional documentation task

Use adult actors and a training room. Create a fabricated visit scenario and capture an approved short interaction. Have the reviewer label what was directly observed, what was reported by the actor, and what must remain unknown. Include a case where the assistant should ask for clarification. Evaluate the accuracy of documentation, source attribution and the handoff to a human. Keep diagnosis, care decisions and recommendations outside this exercise.

Start without patient or household information

Get written permission from the organization, venue and people involved. Keep real health information, patient faces or voices, actual addresses and live systems outside the simulation. If someone proposes actual records, route that separately through the privacy lead and qualified counsel. HIPAA de-identification guidance applies in its covered context and does not substitute for review of the proposed use or contract. HHS de-identification guidance

Original Fiund exercise

A simulated documentation assistant must separate direct observation from an actor's report

An adult actor in a training room follows an original nonclinical script involving a blank folder. No patient, home, actual care interaction or clinical recommendation appears.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
HH1Visible action annotationActor places blank folder F on marked table T at second 10. Reviewer confirms the placement is visible.
HH2Original scripted statementAt second 15 actor says, 'I put the blue card inside yesterday.' Folder is closed; contents not shown or independently verified.
HH3Draft summaryGenerated practice summary says reviewer observed the blue card inside F and that the actor completed every instruction. No instruction-completion checklist supplied.

Question for the model

Which summary statements are directly observed, reported by the actor or unsupported by the supplied evidence?

Show the reference answer and checks

HH1 supports direct observation of folder F's placement on T at second ten. HH2 supports only that the actor reported putting a blue card inside yesterday; it does not show the contents or verify that earlier action. HH3 misattributes that report as a reviewer observation and adds unsupported overall completion. Correct the source attribution and retain the unknown contents without making any diagnosis, care decision or clinical interpretation.

  • Converting an actor's reported earlier action into a directly observed fact.
  • Claiming complete task fulfillment without a checklist or sufficient observations.

Fields to preserve

Scripted event and timestamp
Defines the evidence.
Observed versus reported source
Preserves attribution.
Unknown state and reviewer correction
Makes unsupported summaries repairable.

Test another case

Add a separate visible folder-opening clip showing a red card. Require the direct observation and earlier blue-card report to remain distinct with the discrepancy flagged.

Use consenting adults, an approved venue and original scripts with written reuse rights. Exclude real health information, addresses and live systems; real-data requests require separate review.
