Compliant: HIPAA CCHITStructured Clinical Knowledgebase- MEDCIN
MEDCIN
To be usable, a medical knowledge base has to offer terminology that supports the documentation of many clinical interactions. The format must provide a fast, easy-to-use approach. MEDCIN is such an offering. The Intelligent Prompting presentation engine presents short, relevant list of these MEDCIN terms for rapid documentation. Each term within the knowledge base is supported and associated by clinical relevance to other terms. MEDCIN’s presentation engine provides these medical relationships through multiple clinical hierarchies for each MEDCIN term. For example, chest pain is related to fever in the diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis, but not in the diagnosis of angina. MEDCIN includes millions of these medical relationships.
MEDCIN includes more than 380,000 clinical data elements encompassing symptoms, history, physical, examination, tests, diagnosis, and therapy. Virtually the entire clinical encounter can be encoded.
The MEDCIN knowledgebase is embedded in the CareRevolution point-of-care solution. This allows the physician an additional option for documenting their progress notes. By using MEDCIN, your charges are automatically populated and your electronic chart is updated with vital information as you point and click your way through documenting your visit. Based on the extent of your documentation, the system recommends an E & M code.
