Go knows dietetics
The ability to work with patients of all ages and backgrounds to meet their individual needs is a key component of dietetics education.
Go’s educational Electronic Health Record (EHR) and learning platform includes inpatient and outpatient cases that address the special documentation requirements of nutrition education while instilling a human-centered approach.

Go is for
Go makes illustrating key concepts easy
Use patients for a case review to discuss and analyze key concepts. Assign cases as homework to promote critical thinking and hone documentation skills. Faculty also use the cases for class discussions and Flipped Classroom case studies by providing students with discipline-relevant critical thinking questions along with the case.
Use Go to make Simulation better
Whether for lab practice, OSCEs, or high fidelity simulation, Go is great for simulation. Use a Go patient case scenario or add your own and you have a realistic and interactive computerized patient record for your sim.
Introduce dynamic changes on-the-fly, have students work alone or in teams, review documentation in your own LMS. Go makes simulation better.
Develop clinical judgement skills
What if you could give your students unlimited clinical experience and the opportunity to work with hundreds of patients with basic to complex care needs, all without the risk of harm?
You can, with Go.
Realistic EHR experience included
The Go educational Electronic Health Record (EHR) closely resembles popular EHRs like Epic® and Cerner®. The Go EHR enables students to document patient care in a pre-built scenario or in a blank chart to build the skills they need.
Students will become adept at using the technology as part of their patient care experience.
It’s no secret that people learn and retain best through the power of story. Throughout history, humans have used stories to educate, inform, and pass on important lessons.
Story-learning sticks. It moves us and helps bring meaning, depth, and compassion to otherwise static information.
Our diverse and realistic patient cases bring the power of story to healthcare education and reinforce human-centered use of technology. Built to be as multifaceted as the individuals they represent, the stories of our patients introduce vital healthcare concepts, lessons, and terminology in ways your students will connect with.
With a thorough review of a patient’s case in the Go EHR, students will build their understanding and find the information they need to care for, diagnose, and treat, while learning important documentation skills.
Teach students to focus on patients, not technology.
Delia Giannopoulos is an obese teenager being evaluated for possible bariatric weight loss surgery. She is 23% over her ideal body weight, and suffers from type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, acne and irregular menstrual periods with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and fatty liver disease. During previous assessment, she was also found to suffer from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and a very high insulin level of 67 micro International Units per deciliter.
She has been assessed by an interdisciplinary team, including a registered dietitian and needs a comprehensive plan of care.
Can your students help Delia?
- Have your students review Delia’s case and document an ADIME in the Go EHR to encourage applied clinical reasoning.
Patty is a 98-year-old retired teacher who has been admitted to the hospital after having a CVA. Her neighbor, Pauline Jackson, checks on her and helps her around the house. When she checked on her today she noticed Patty was confused and weak. She has been admitted for observation and continued diagnostics. She is at risk for falls, aspiration and skin breakdown.
Can your students help Patty?
- This is a simple chart with just enough data to foster use with a standardized patient or use in simulation.
