Culpeper Regional Hospital Elevates Emergency Preparedness Through Deployment of VisualDx

Dec. 11, 2007 - PRLog -- Culpeper Regional Hospital has deployed VisualDx, the most widely used visual clinical decision support software, in response to the goal of the Virginia Department of Emergency Management to prepare for public health threats such as pandemic diseases and biological terrorism. VisualDx gives clinicians immediate access to the combined power of medical images and specialist knowledge, for faster more accurate recognition and response to events of public health significance.  

A key component for emergency preparedness, VisualDx includes disease management and therapy for common conditions as well as the differential diagnoses for rare and unusual events, such as bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases. The systems extensive knowledge base of over 900 diagnoses including more than 16,000 medical images and one of a kind findings-based search platform makes VisualDx a multi-functional resource for day-to-day clinical diagnosis, emergency preparedness, and medical education. Additionally, the system can be customized to inform clinicians of public health alerts, reporting requirements, and notification needs right at the point-of-care.

“Doctors will be able to identify unusual and unfamiliar health threats more quickly and increase public safety with the help of this innovative diagnostic tool called VisualDx.” stated Dr. Robert Rosen, Emergency Department Medical Director at Culpeper Regional Hospital.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funds support the deployment of VisualDx at Culpeper Regional Hospital. VisualDx has been licensed for one year at this location and is being viewed as a trial for the entire state of Virginia, with implications for larger deployments in the year to come.
