Medicalis Clinical Decision SupportKeep your referring physician informed while encouraging clinically appropriate use of advanced diagnostic imaging

Education on the appropriate use of advanced imaging is increasingly becoming a priority as it contributes to improving the quality of patient care, reducing wasteful utilization, and controlling costs. Imaging clinical decision support systems are the next generation in the delivery of knowledge and management of appropriate diagnostic imaging utilization to ensure “the right order, first time”.

Up to 26% of all imaging is ordered incorrectly when placed without evidence based standards.1

Our Medicalis Clinical Decision Support (CDS) is at the forefront of this development. Based on our knowledge and expertise acquired through more than 15 years of experience in this domain, our solution has been developed with an intuitive design, making it easy for your referring providers to request imaging consultations with evidence support to guide them through the entire process.

With a focus on specific modalities, indications, and priority clinical areas for content delivery and by taking an evidence-based and targeted approach, you can ensure your referring physicians are ordering exams for cases where the potential for positive impact on patient care is high, thus increasing the quality of service and providing added value without discouraging the ordering physician.

The flexibility of the Medicalis Clinical Decision Support system provides you with options to gradually implement a CDS solution that is best suited to your institution’s needs:

  • We support your rollout process. You can start by implementing the appropriate use criteria that are aligned with your priority clinical areas and gradually expand to other appropriate use criteria at a later date.
  • We accommodate your workflow. We offer different access options for the Medicalis Clinical Decision Support mechanism, such as multiple portal-based solutions and EMR integration options to accommodate your ordering physician’s workflow.
  • We support multiple guidelines. Our Medicalis solution consists of a CDS mechanism that can be implemented in conjunction with your selected guidelines.

Medicalis Clinical Decision Support is an adaptable system that helps you address potential related imaging clinical decision support regulations such as the upcoming Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) PAMA mandate in the United States.

Medicalis Clinical Decision Support has been confirmed as a fully qualified clinical decision support mechanism (CDSM) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Medicare appropriate use criteria (AUC) program for advanced diagnostic imaging.
