medXperts provide second opinion medical consulting in
Gynecology (150 medical consultants), Dermatology (2 medical consultants), Nephrology (2 medical
consultants) and Oncology (1 medical consultant). medXperts use the medXchange health and medical
information management services and the web based Integrated Electronic Medical Record (IEMR) to
exchange sensitive and confidential medical information with the patient and other healthcare professionals.
medXperts is a new powerful tool for physicians to
consult experts in different fields with the use of internet technology. However, it also serves
as a new learning tool for physicians since all individual disease templates on the medXchange
platform are supported by a database with information about the particular factors or parameters
of the individual patient.
medXchange adapts the Health and Medical Information Management
service to the requirements of physicians and medical experts to assist them in Evidence Based
Medicine (EBM) and case – disease management of their patients. Templates and links to external
medical databases and treatment and medication information are tailored to the profile of the patient
thereby avoiding long medical research and an overload of information for the physician.
Dr. med. Ossi R. Köchli, Medical Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of
medXperts states that consulting is dependent on the
following factors:
- Complete information about the history of the patient.
- Information about the examination of the patient.
- Information about the exact problem and actual question.
- Fast access to an expert or a panel of experts.
- Fast access to the medical literature.
The
medXchange Health and Medical Information Management
service meets the criteria of
medXperts to deliver high
quality and confidential consulting services around the world.
The
medXperts second opinion service is currently
operational and available in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Based on the success to date in
Gynecology, the medXperts service will be expanded in other specialties and extended throughout
Europe over the next 1 to 2 years.
medXchange, www.medxchange.org enables the rationalization
of healthcare by giving physicians immediate access to a total spectrum of patient information and
documentation. A number of centralized databases and applications support the physician in Evidence
Based Medicine, EBM, Therapy Planning and Case - Disease Management. By reducing unnecessary and
costly medical examinations and tests, hospitalization and delays in treatment,
medXchange makes possible faster and better medical care
for the individual while delivering substantial savings to those who fund and provide healthcare.
medXperts, www.medxperts.org. Most physicians treating
patients are busy and information is usually required very fast. Nowadays many databases are
available on the internet. However, it is not easy to find the right information in reasonable time
even using search engines on the internet. What a physician really wants is fast access to an
expert's opinion.
That's why
medXperts established a system that allows fast
communication through a central unit that is located in Switzerland.
All incoming demands are collected in the central unit and distributed to the individual experts.
The answers are sent back respectively are made available to the requesting physician through the
central unit within 24 to 48 hours.
All requests that are sent to
medXperts are collected
anonymously, coordinated and forwarded to the different scientific board members with the help of
the central coordination unit.
