Isabel & BMJ Best Practice a useful combination


Isabel along with BMJ Best Practice a combination to watch for:

Isabel Healthcare has been providing one of the renowned diagnosis decision support application, it provides a resource that integrates with the EMR. While Best Practice provides similar diagnosis support monographs it would be good to see how these products combine together to enhance the patient care.

Isabel Diagnosis Checklist System (IDCS) provides clinicians with checklist of likely diagnosis from its library of 11000 diagnoses and over 4000 drugs, it’s a good near patient or point of care tool.

While BMJ Best Practice would act as knowledge base, Isabel would work as a diagnostic tool which can be integrated with EMR giving a very refined approach to patient care.
