Medical information provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, and Isabel Healthcare have announced the integration of the former's Clin-eguide clinical decision support tool with Isabel's diagnosis reminder system.
Clin-eguide is an online clinical decision support tool that provides the most accurate evidence-based information for health care providers in the clinical setting. It integrates content from Ovid, Facts & Comparisons, and Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, as well as other premier publishers. Isabel is a validated, web-based diagnosis decision support and knowledge mobilising system designed to help reduce and manage diagnosis error at the point of care. Together, the two systems are claimed to be the first to offer comprehensive access to evidence based medicine for both treatment and diagnosis.
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 wil now have one-click access to Isabel.
