How does Lifecom’s system differ from other Decision Support Systems (DCS)?
Lifecom believes that the whole purpose of the medical record should be to support medical decision-making. Unlike every other DCS system, Lifecom’s decision support system is built into the very fabric of the system – it is working all the time. Every new piece of clinical data, every observation by any practitioner, every item in the patient’s Lifecom system’s historical record, is automatically and independently assessed by a unique (patents pending) form of artificial intelligence that continuously shares its assessments with its user. The system generates questions, recommendations and reminders that help ensure that all relevant avenues of inquiry are pursued. The Lifecom Diagnostic Engine does not require that an assessment begin at any particular point, does not require all data requests to be answered in order to render recommendations and permits data entry in any and all sequences.
