Medicalis incorporates ACR guidelines into decision support knowledgebase
Medicalis Corp. is incorporating the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria guidelines into its Percipio clinical decision support knowledgebase.
The ACR Appropriateness Criteria are a set of guidelines that can assist primary-care physicians and specialists in making appropriate imaging decisions for given patient clinical conditions. The ACR has developed consensus-driven guidelines for radiology decision-making over the past decade.
Adding ACR's Appropriateness Criteria into the Medicalis knowledgebase will provide Medicalis users with access to radiology-specific guidelines from both the ACR, and the Center for Evidence Based Imaging (CEBI) at Brigham and Women's Hospital. These guidelines will be deployed at the point-of-care using the Percipio web-based order entry system, ensuring that orders are safe, clinically appropriate, and cost effective.
