VisualDx Joins Epic App Orchard to Support Diagnostic Decision-Making

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- VisualDx, the leading diagnostic clinical decision support tool for physicians, today announced it has joined the Epic App Orchard marketplace, to support diagnostic accuracy, save clinicians’ time, and enhance patient care.

VisualDx combines problem-oriented clinical search with an outstanding medical image library, medical knowledge from experts to help with differential diagnosis, variation, treatment, and patient communication. Hospitals, health systems and clinics that purchase VisualDx from App Orchard will be able to launch VisualDx from within the electronic health record with the push of a button to improve clinical decisions and enhance the clinical workflow.

The VisualDx SMART app employs the HL7® standard SMART® on FHIR® technology and the integration extracts the sex, age, medications, and problem lists from the patient’s record. This information is used to construct a list of patient-specific differential diagnoses and medications with clinical content available in VisualDx. The clinician can immediately access curated, peer-reviewed clinical information and images to provide an accurate diagnosis at the point of care. The SMART app is designed to be integrated into Epic. VisualDx customers can also use the VisualDx web application that powers the SMART app through an external browser, or via native iOS and Android apps.

“We’re thrilled to have VisualDx accessible on Epic’s App Orchard,” said Dr. Art Papier, CEO of VisualDx, “By connecting to the platform, we have the ability to reach more physicians and continue achieving our goal of improving the diagnostic process for providers across the country.”
