EHR Simulator — ED Admission
A five-step emergency-department admission flow with a branching drug-allergy decision point. Built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so it packages cleanly into SCORM later.

How it works
The simulator is a single-page app with a small state machine that gates each step on a meaningful decision — verifying identifiers, capturing vitals, resolving an allergy conflict, assigning placement, and signing off. The branching moment on step three is the one the real training needs: a penicillin-class order is proposed for a patient with anaphylaxis on file, and the learner must pick the safe path forward.
Why build it this way
A code-built sim is cheaper to iterate than a re-authored Rise module and it produces the same xAPI data stream I'd need for Kirkpatrick Level 2. The UI is intentionally spare so the focus stays on the decision, not the chrome — the goal isn't a pixel-perfect EHR clone, it's a reliable reflex for stop, check, reroute.
What's next
- Wire xAPI statements for each step transition and the branching choice (Phase 5).
- Add two more scenarios (pediatric dosing; anticoagulation reversal) to reuse the engine.
- Package as SCORM 1.2 for the hospital's Cornerstone LMS.
