E-Health Trend Watch, October 13, 2006
U.S. doctors and nurses are using a new tool in hospitals and clinics to diagnose patients. The Acute Pulmonary Infections program provides access to nearly 13,000 medical photos that can help doctors diagnose more than 700 diseases, drug reactions, or infections. The program is the latest addition to VisualDx, a computer software system created by Logical Images, Inc., in Rochester, NY. It is used in 350 hospitals nationwide and in 10 other countries, along with the U.S. military, state, and local health departments.
