Partnership Brings Dermatology Diagnosis Counselor to Modern Medicine
Online tool powered by VisualDx helps medical professionals identify top skin conditions.
Rochester, NY, May 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Logical Images, a leader in visual diagnostic decision support, has partnered with ModernMedicine (www.ModernMedicine.com), a online information destination serving 250,000+ physicians and healthcare professionals, to help clinicians quickly access information and images for skin-related conditions. ModernMedicine has launched the Dermatology Diagnosis Counselor, powered by Logical Images’ professional decision support system, VisualDx, as a free resource located at www.modernmedicine.com/dermcounselor.
Clinicians can also subscribe to VisualDx (www.visualdx.com), the foundation of the Dermatology Diagnosis Counselor, to access more comprehensive visual information and clinical text, including over 18,000 additional images on over 1,000 visually presenting conditions, both common and rare, as well as diagnostic and treatment guidelines for health care professionals. VisualDx, a trusted clinical decision support system used by over 1,300 health care institutions and clinics, is a unique resource that allows the user to enter patient symptoms, signs, medical history, and more to build a patient-relevant visual differential diagnosis.
With 15% of all diagnoses being inaccurate, and 50% of all diseases having a visual pattern clue, there is a growing demand for accessible resources at the point of care like the Dermatology Diagnosis Counselor and VisualDx that help improve diagnostic accuracy and overall patient outcomes.
“We look forward to this partnership as a way to bring our content and images to an even greater number of clinicians.” said Rory Burrill, Product Manager for Logical Images, Inc.
“Modern Medicine is continually looking to deliver greater value and depth of information to our health care professional audience.” said Steven Merahn, MD, a former pediatrician and ModernMedicine’s Vice President and General Manager. “Accessibility to the Dermatology Diagnosis Counselor powered by the trusted professional decision support system, VisualDx, gives them a powerful resource to expand their knowledge and offer better care.”
