Overview: Visual Solutions
Visual Solutions provides consultation and software solutions for 3D visualization, medical imaging, artificial intelligence, social networking, and electronic medical records. Our seminal product is Missive©, a modular artificial intelligence agent for social network dynamic medical records capture, sharing, and rule adherence.
Clinical and clerical errors result in missing patient data that lead to duplicate testing that accounts for a significant portion of the trillion dollars in annual US healthcare costs and significant added patient risk. Annually, 50,000 -100,000 deaths in the US are caused by these data collection and reporting errors and resulting misdiagnosis; more than the number of deaths from breast cancer, AIDS or auto accidents.
Missive© intelligent medical decision support aid for diagnosis and treatment reduces clinical and clerical errors in hospitals or group practices by eliminating the workflow steps of transcription, review, edit, and coding. Missive© eliminates after-the-visit work by shortening time needed to collect and enter patient data, guiding more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment, and automatically coding consistent with practice and insurer rules. In seconds, Missive© prints a letter for the patient, that includes test results, diagnosis, treatment, instructions, drug-drug interactions and contact numbers. Missive© generates a detailed chart note and letter to the referring physician and a bill to insurance.
Missive© uses medical expert best practices captured into decision trees operating on patient data to infer critical unresolved issues for differential diagnosis. It prompts a clinician with key questions to ask about affected organ systems, social history. to insure data critical to differential diagnosis are collected while taking the patient medical history. Missive© guides a clinician to prescribe more effective treatments by suggesting treatment options with the supporting outcome statistics.
A clinician uses a handheld device - palm, tablet or phone - to view diagnostic prompts and treatment suggestions and to enter patient data and details of treatment and outcome into a database on a remote server in a secure data center.
An individual handheld device displays a separate session of the expert system running on an individual blade . a compact PC - in a blade server in a data center. High-speed communication hardware in each blade and handheld assures PC-level speed and interactivity over a distance of up to 1,000 miles.
