Physician decision support system with rapid diagnostic code identification

摘要

A patient-side support system provides physician support materials keyed to detailed diagnosis codes. The physician is presented with a selection of different methodologies that allow rapid selection of as many as 26,000 detailed diagnosis codes. These rapidly-chosen accurate codes comprise a medical problem list, and they drive the presentation of prewritten prescriptions, educational information for physicians and patient educational materials, thereby facilitating the improvement of health care quality and value.
