Medical Care Protocols

Medical Care Protocols

Medical personnel are increasingly being asked to diagnose and treat patients in less time and with fewer errors. But Flowtocol can be applied by medical specialists to guide front line personnel in effective diagnosis and treatment in medical care protocols.

 

Medical web portals are beginning to offer flowchart-driven questionnaires for assessing common medical conditions.  But these require software developers to code the logic. Yet Flowtocol requires no software programming. A rare disease specialist, for example, can document a disease management protocol and share it with the broader medical community.

 

In addition, by maintaining Flowtocol records in Excel, the data records also provide a documentation trail for consulting physicians, medical coders, malpractice defendants, and other support personnel. Researchers can also analyze the data records against actual patient outcomes to improve the efficacy of the protocols.

Examples

Nurse Practitioners

Physician shortages are driving more care via nurse practitioners. Flowtocol procedures provide expert guidance on diagnosing and treating common ailments. Furthermore, Flowtocol record analysis provides a mechanism to improve the efficiency and efficacy of the protocol.

Specialty Care & Research

Experts in rare diseases can document assessment and treatment protocols for both Primary Care Physicians and Specialists. Physicians can refine their algorithms as their users supply real world data.

 

Medical Coding

Flowtocols can improve compliance documentation, reduce errors, and insure proper medical coding. They can also serve as both a reference and a training tool for coders.

Outcome Improvement

Flowtocol provides a mechanism for healthcare providers to establish protocols for improving outcomes.  Examples include lowering Hospital Acquired Infections and improving stroke survival.   Moreover, you can use the Flowtocol records to measure the improvement.
