ISABEL DIAGNOSIS REMINDER SYSTEM (IDRS):
Isabel is a validated, web-based diagnosis decision support and knowledge mobilizing
system designed to help reduce and manage diagnosis error at the point of care.
Together, Clin-
eguide™ and Isabel are the first to offer comprehensive access
to evidence-based medicine for both treatment and diagnosis.
In December 2007 the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) highlighted the
issue of diagnosis error and warned hospitals that it will become a focus for accreditation
and payment. The IHI also recommended Isabel as a tool to help reduce cognitive
diagnosis error.
A 3-year project funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) found
that 10-30% of medical errors are diagnosis errors and far outweigh medication errors.
In 2008, AHRQ intends to a get better understanding of incidence, cost, determinants
and strategies for preventing or mitigating diagnostic errors. Isabel has been proven
to decrease diagnosis error due to cognitive factors and premature closure. Given
a patient’s clinical features, the Isabel Diagnosis Reminder and Knowledge Mobilizing
System instantly provides a validated check list of likely diagnoses, bio-terrorist
conditions and causative drugs for the clinician to consider. Clinicians who already
rely on Clin-
eguide™ to check facts, review evidence, determine treatment
and check drug interactions now have one-click access to Isabel.
Isabel Healthcare is a fast-growing, venture-capital-backed company operating on
a global basis. The company is best known for Isabel, an award-winning web-based,
diagnosis decision support system called Isabel which uses cutting edge technology
from Autonomy, an industry leader in Meaning Based Computing (MBC), coupled with
proprietary Isabel algorithms to ‘understand’ vast amounts of medical knowledge.
This enables the system to instantly provide the busy clinician with a safe checklist
of likely diagnoses for a set of signs and symptoms entered in free text. The clinicians
who ‘Isabel’ their patients at an early stage are able to offer a higher quality
of care and reduce clinical risk by ensuring that important possible diagnoses have
not been missed. For more information, go to

VisualDx®:
VisualDx® is an advanced approach to point-of-care
decision making. It assists in recognition of diseases and patterns not seen before.
VisualDx® is the only point-of-care technology to merge medical images with clinical
information to build a visual differential diagnosis based on actual patient findings.
To use VisualDx®, you can enter patient symptoms, medical history, and other relevant
findings. VisualDx® refines a patient-centric differential diagnosis, presented visually
so you can actually see the differential. VisualDx® can be used as a day to day
clinical diagnostic tool, an emergency preparedness resource, or as a supplement
to medical education. VisualDx® provides rapid access to rare diagnoses most clinicians
have not had access to such as CDC Category A, B, and C BT agents, chemical warfare,
radiation injury, and infectious disease.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has identified the 6 “Aims for Improvement” of care,
helping to close the gap between good quality care and what we see in daily practice.
VisualDx® helps clinicians deliver quality care by meeting these IOM aims:
- Safe. VisualDx® is medically critiqued by 100+ physicians, ensuring
all images and information meet the highest standards of accuracy and representation
of disease.
- Effective. A study of primary care physicians, emergency department
physicians, and dermatologists found that VisualDx® improves diagnostic accuracy
by over 120% in comparison to using textbooks or atlases.
- Patient-centered. From start to finish, VisualDx® is designed to dynamically
build a patient-centric differential diagnosis, ranking key diagnostic possibilities
by relevance to the patient findings.
- Timely. VisualDx® gives the clinician immediate access to specialist-level
information right at the point of care, possibly saving time and costs associated
with a specialist consult or referral.
- Efficient. VisualDx® is image-based software that presents each condition
with medical images and actionable, handbook-length clinical text for faster, more
efficient disease recognition and response.
- Equitable. An extensive clinical tool, VisualDx® covers almost 900
diagnoses with nearly 16,000 images, including images of all age groups from neonate
to elder adult and dark-skinned individuals to address health disparities.
