Code Status vs Hipocase

CODE STATUS IS AN EDUCATIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICINE SIMULATION. Step into the emergency department and take on realistic, interactive patient cases. Examine patients, interpret ECGs and imaging, make treatment decisions and see how your choices shape the outcome. Designed for Medical Students, Residents, Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs and other Medical Learners. Created by a Board-Certified Practicing Emergency Physician and grounded in evidence-based clinical guidance. TAKE THE CASE Meet a patient with an unknown diagnosis. Take a history, perform an exam, order and interpret tests, commit to a diagnosis, treat the patient and decide what happens next. LEARN FROM THE OUTCOME Patients may improve or deteriorate based on your decisions. Learn from missed diagnoses, delayed recognition and treatment decisions in a safe, repeatable environment. Review the outcome, understand what happened and try another approach. SCORE. REVIEW. REPLAY. Each case is scored across diagnosis, testing, treatment, timing and disposition. Scores are structured educational feedback on what you did well and where you can improve. Replay cases, try different approaches and build confidence. SHIFT BRIEFING AND DAILY CHALLENGE Each shift, an attending suggests a patient, but you are always free to choose your own. The Daily Challenge offers a quick clinical question from a case you have completed, followed by a short explanation. HIGH-ACUITY RESUSCITATION Code Mode puts you in the middle of life-threatening emergencies where seconds matter. Recognize danger, prioritize interventions and deliver the right treatments in the right order. WHY SIMULATION MATTERS Emergency medicine requires more than recalling facts. It requires recognizing deterioration, acting on incomplete information and making time-sensitive decisions under uncertainty. Patients can deteriorate quickly, requiring urgent resuscitation or bedside procedures. Code Status includes them, presented clinically, without gratuitous detail and only where educationally relevant. EVIDENCE-BASED ATTENDING'S NOTES Practice first. Learn deeply afterward. Attending's Notes explains the medicine and clinical reasoning behind your decisions, helping you understand not just what to do, but why. More than 250 clinical sources are cited across the library, including guidelines, consensus statements and supporting studies. References are available in the app. Make the Call adds quick bedside questions. A GROWING CASE LIBRARY Cases span Cardiovascular, Neurologic, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Infectious, Obstetric, Genitourinary, Musculoskeletal and Critical Care emergencies. New cases are on the way. TWO COMPLETE CASES ARE FREE Try two complete cases free, from presentation through treatment, outcome and review. Premium unlocks the growing case library. EDUCATIONAL SIMULATION ONLY All patients and clinical scenarios are fictional and created for education. Medications, investigations and procedures are represented for simulation purposes. No case depicts a real person or clinical encounter. Code Status is not a health service and is not intended for real-world patient care, diagnosis, treatment or clinical decision-making. It does not provide medical advice, hold patient health information or connect to electronic health records, hospital systems, medical devices or Apple Health.

Practice clinical reasoning through 290+ interactive medical cases across 19 specialties. Take the history. Perform the examination. Order investigations. Build your differential diagnosis. Choose a management plan. Hipocase evaluates more than your final diagnosis. It examines how you reached it—what you recognized, what you missed, and whether your decisions were safe and clinically appropriate. Treat the patient. Make the decision. Learn from the outcome. EXPERIENCE THE COMPLETE CLINICAL JOURNEY Manage each case from presentation to final diagnosis. • Assess the presenting complaint and vital signs • Ask focused history questions • Perform relevant physical examinations • Order laboratory tests, imaging, ECGs, and other investigations • Build and refine your differential diagnosis • Request consultations when necessary • Select treatments and management decisions • Determine follow-up, admission, discharge, or escalation of care • Commit to a final diagnosis DEVELOP CLINICAL REASONING Real clinical practice is not a multiple-choice exam. Interpret findings, prioritize competing diagnoses, recognize dangerous conditions, avoid unnecessary actions, and make safe decisions under uncertainty. Hipocase evaluates the reasoning behind your decisions—not only whether your final answer was correct. DETAILED CASE DEBRIEF After every case, receive a structured analysis of your performance, including: • Critical findings you identified or overlooked • Strengths and weaknesses in your diagnostic approach • Missed or delayed safety-critical actions • Unnecessary investigations and treatments • Comparison with the recommended clinical pathway • Key learning points and common pitfalls • Competency-based performance breakdown Understand the recommended approach and why it was clinically appropriate. 290+ CASES ACROSS 19 SPECIALTIES Explore a growing case library covering: • Internal Medicine • Family Medicine • Cardiology • Pediatrics • Neurology • Gastroenterology • Pulmonology • Infectious Diseases • Endocrinology • Nephrology • Hematology • Rheumatology • Dermatology • Psychiatry • Obstetrics and Gynecology • Urology • Orthopedics • Ophthalmology • Otolaryngology TRACK YOUR DEVELOPMENT Track your progress and identify where your clinical reasoning is becoming stronger. Evaluate your performance across: • History taking • Physical examination • Investigation selection • Differential diagnosis • Clinical management • Patient safety • Diagnostic accuracy Build consistency, strengthen weaker areas, and become more confident with every case. WHO IS HIPOCASE FOR? • Medical students preparing for clinical practice • Residents developing diagnostic and management skills • Physicians who want to stay clinically sharp • Healthcare professionals interested in case-based learning • Learners preparing for clinical examinations and rotations Hipocase is not a traditional question bank. It is a safe environment to practice thinking and deciding like a clinician. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER Hipocase is intended solely for medical education and professional training. It does not provide medical advice and must not be used to diagnose or treat real patients.
