Getting patients to the proper type of specialist sooner and faster is also a desired adjunct. This software truly has something for everyone. Users wanting information get answers and references used to arrive at them. It involves the healthcare consumer in both diagnostic and treatment decisions. Doctors are provided answers to complex questions with little or no expenditure of time, since participants will usually complete the survey on their home computer.
Doctors also get the medico-legal protection that virtually nothing was overlooked.
All diagnostic considerations are provided and referenced for convenience. For insurance companies and third party payers, there is assurance that a diagnosis is probably correct, and costly inappropriate treatment can be avoided. The cost for arriving at a diagnosis involves minimal doctor and office time. A vehicle is also provided for evaluation of treatment efficacy. The efficiency and accuracy of medical diagnoses can improve by changing from the exclusive practice of brain processing to computer database processing of the relevant information.
