Medical mistakes occur at an alarming rate, and are responsible for immeasurable health complications, and even deaths.
About 98,000 Americans die each year in due to medical errors and is the fifth leading cause of death. (Inst of Med, 99)
One in five malpractice claims involve diagnostic medical physicians, such as radiologists. (Harvard Medical Practice, 90)
Patients receive recommended healthcare only 55% of the time. (McGlynn et al., 2003)
Although it is true that breakthroughs in medical technology have greatly improved the outlook for health care, even the best equipment cannot make up for human error. Health care providers with access to the most advanced medical diagnostic equipment often make egregious errors by misusing the equipment or misreading the examination results.
As a consequence, many patients may be misdiagnosed, serious medical conditions may go undetected, and treatment plans based on faulty diagnoses may do the patient more harm than good.
A key factor in the optimal use of medical equipment (and in providing accurate diagnoses) is the level of skill, understanding and knowledge of the medical staff associated with the disease life-cycle. This competence level varies widely from one facility to another across the country. Even among the best equipped hospitals, there is an alarming risk of inappropriate treatments.
"How to create a bridge between the best trained and equipped physicians and technologists and the rest of the community?"
"How do we empower the entire range of medical professionals with tools that will help them perform a better diagnosis?"
"How do we create standardizations for integrity in Medicine?"
AIdentity Matrix Medical is meeting the challenge of making medical technology work by designing applications which rectify existing short comings in the health care process through the application of state of the art technologies.
These technologies integrate artificial intelligence with information systems that draws on the experience of the very best minds in the field of diagnostic medicine and provides the tools to ensure compliance with the highest standards for optimal patient care.
