Office Technology Software for Symptoms: Diagnostic software hasn't caught on yet among doctors; But that may be starting to change

Abstract (Document Summary)
"DDS has remarkably little market share or presence," says Thomas Handler, a physician and research director at Gartner Inc., a technology consulting firm based in Stamford, Conn. Many agree with his assessment that such programs simply haven't proved to be more adept at diagnosis than physicians are on their own. Medicine, Dr. Handler says, "is really an art."
"Any of the statistics you want to look at tell us that we are doing a lousy job" in general of quickly making correct diagnoses, says Dr. [Charles Burger]. Diagnostic-support software can be a big help in sorting through the myriad possible causes of a patient's symptoms, he says. "Are the tools perfect?" says Dr. Burger. "No, but they are getting better all the time."
"These are small-business people," says David C. Kibbe, a doctor who is the health information-technology director for the American Academy of Family Physicians in Leawood, Kan. "They've got to pay the bills" like any other small business, he says. "Margins [in family practice] are very narrow to begin with," leaving scant room for discretionary spending on information-technology systems.

New updates to MD Consult
New updates to MD Consult
New Enhancements - May 2005
Search Enhancements
Results at a Glance - A Summary showing the first 3 results in each content area. This feature simplifies user navigation and shows breadth of content available.
Improved Focus - Provides an easier, more prominent, and more effective method for refining book and journal searching to one of these information needs: Diagnosis, Etiology, Treatment, or Prognosis. Users can click one of those options under our newly placed "focus" drop-down box to obtain improved search results in books, journals, and practice guidelines. This new feature improves the values found in our existing advanced journal search feature and also extends it to user's book searches.
Practice Guidelines Updates - Weekly updates now include abstracts of peer-reviewed practice guidelines and links to the full-text. They are searchable by topic and authoring organization.
Surgical Image Collection - A new content feature, Surgical Images, has been added to Clinical Insights, under the Current Practice tab. These images have been chosen on the basis of topics rated by residents as most helpful, and are viewable as thumbnails and linked to full-size. The first three sections - Pediatric, Head & Neck, and Skin and Soft Tissue are now available. Additional sections will be added in the months ahead with ultimately 1000 total images.
New Books Added to MDC Core
Khatri: Operative Surgery Manual, 1/e.
http://home.mdconsult.com/das/book/view/1278
Book Description: This book provides practical guidance on the most common elective and emergency procedures. Each concise chapter follows the same format and contains standardized headings: position, incision, exposure and operative technique, and closure. Numerous illustrations detail the procedures, providing clarity at a glance. A focused preoperative preparation section is also included.
Because of this book's strong appeal to surgical residents and medical students embarking on a surgical rotation or general surgery residency program, we are also featuring the procedures and accompanying images in Student Union.
Mettler: Essentials of Radiology, 2/e
http://home.mdconsult.com/das/book/view/1276
Book Description: This best-selling radiology primer clearly explains the basic principles and clinical applications of plain film, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine. Written in straightforward, accessible language and assuming no prior knowledge of radiology, it provides an ideal introduction to the field. Over 550 digital images demonstrate every essential concept.
New Edition
Cummings-Haughey-Thomas-Harker-Robbins-Schuller-Flint-Richardson: Otolaryngology: Head & Neck Surgery, 4/e (2005 Mosby) has been added to MDC Core Edition. It replaces Cummings et al: Otolaryngology, 3/e (1998 Mosby).
http://home.mdconsult.com/das/book/view/1263
Book Description: This masterwork is universally acknowledged as the most comprehensive, authoritative reference in the field of head and neck surgery. Its four volumes encompass the entire body of core knowledge as well as the most cutting-edge developments within every otolaryngologic subspecialty. A multitude of preeminent contributing experts ensure that the coverage is complete, current, and clinically relevant, reflecting the latest advances in basic science and clinical practice.
