Looking to help clinicians diagnose and treat more quickly and accurately at the point of care, Isabel Healthcare and BMJ Group have introduced Isabel with Best Practice.
Using multiple clinical features with BMJ Group's Best Practice's evidence-based disease monographs, Isabel with Best Practice capitalizes on the ability of Isabel to produce a differential list. Isabel with Best Practice generates a checklist of potential diagnoses while flagging high-risk "Don't Miss" diagnoses when clinicians enter a patient's signs and symptoms. After a doctor selects a diagnosis, he or she is taken straight through to the BMJ Group's Best Practice monographs where they are able to rapidly access information on other important symptoms, the company stated in a press release.
“Diagnosis errors have a devastating impact on clinical and financial outcomes," said Don Bauman, CEO, Isabel Healthcare. in a company press release. "Studies have shown that Isabel's diagnostic decision support tool significantly drives better decision making in a compressed timeframe resulting in better outcomes, reducing waste and freeing clinicians to spend more time with patients.”
In March 2011, the company expanded its employee base to assist in the continued deployment, partnership building and marketing of the company's diagnosis decision support product, Isabel.
