The Clinician's Perspective:
Traditional electronic health records are modeled on the paper forms that they replace. The task still falls to the medical practitioner to find and process this static information. These systems do not address the core issue that directly controls the cost and quality of medical care. Medical practitioners need to be aware of the all of the clinical possibilities and the missing elements needed to completely refine the diagnosis and management of each patient.
The Lifecom System automatically generates the patient encounter narratives eliminating monthly transcription costs.
The Lifecom System automatically generates the billing codes, eliminating third party billing coding.

At the point of care, users of the Lifecom System see a unique user interface that redefines the interaction between a medical practitioner and clinical data management, Images of skin conditions, animations of visual auras, skeletal images that include every bone and other intuitive screens are accessed with the stroke of a stylus on a tablet PC. Data and free text notes are entered as if writing on paper, and “electronic ink” is saved in the record for both legal and data entry verification purposes. The system adapts to the workflow of each medical practitioner and does not require that information be entered in any particular sequence.

As information is entered (e.g. past medical history, medications, chief complaint, physical exam observations, laboratory test values, radiology imaging interpretations, etc.), the artificial intelligence embodied in Lifecom's Adaptive Knowledge Engine in conjunction with the Lifecom Knowledge Warehouse makes clinical recommendations and generates the questions needed to resolve the diagnosis and insure patient safety. Lifecom’s artificial intelligence technology is unique in that both qualitative and quantitative analysis is performed. The System utilizes more than current patient data. “Aged” lifetime medical history down to the most detailed symptom or observation is also considered. Patterns of illness that can only be gleaned from observations over time, often from seemingly unrelated variables, are identified.
Lifecom is the first medical software system built from the ground up to focus on clinical cognition. Lifecom is unique in providing a solution that combines diagnostic reasoning with the health record. The Lifecom System generates a comprehensive differential diagnosis, identifies missing information and asks the questions needed to make an accurate final diagnosis.
Lifecom improves the accuracy and timeliness of medical diagnosis while reducing the cost of health care, improving quality, improving safety and reducing liability exposure. Lifecom has developed a graphic rich electronic medical diagnosis and record system powered by proprietary artificial intelligence technology, software tools to capture medical knowledge and a standardized clinical lexicon. The System improves the productivity of physician extenders, automates the creation of patient encounter documentation and provides accurate, auditable billing coding.
