Quality assessment of virtual patients (VP) is important but still insufficiently standardized. We developed categories and criteria to assess the quality of virtual patients. These categories reflect the life cycle of a VP from the planning to the development, implementation and evaluation. Such elaborated criteria will help authors to create VPs and curriculum planners to assess the quality of implemented VPs and choose high quality VPs from repositories.
虚拟患者（VP）的质量评估很重要，但仍未得到充分标准化。我们制定了类别和标准来评估虚拟患者的质量。这些类别反映了虚拟患者从规划到开发、实施和评估的生命周期。如此详尽的标准将有助于作者创建虚拟患者，也有助于课程规划者评估已实施的虚拟患者的质量，并从资源库中选择高质量的虚拟患者。
