The VisualDx decision support software system helps fulfill CDC and Health Resources Service Administration (HRSA) mandated early detection, training and educational objectives for bioterrorism and pandemic influenza preparedness plans. It also increases clinician awareness, knowledge and skills in relationship to CBR (chemical warfare, bioterrorism and radiation injury) and emerging infectious diseases (e.g. avian flu, SARS) differential diagnosis.

Improve clinicians’ ability to evaluate patients presenting with rash illnesses to help avoid costly false-positive (e.g., quarantined emergency rooms) and life-threatening false-negative diagnoses
Rapidly access information about bioterrorism andand infectious diseases
Distinguish common influenza-like illnesses from those possibly caused by a terrorist act, avian influenza, SARS or other emerging infectious disease (EID)
Educate clinical personnel in preparedness

	During a public health emergency, patients' lives depend upon the astuteness of the clinician determining their diagnosis. VisualDx helps make every clinician an astute clinician by giving them instant access to the information they need to rapidly make a diagnosis and begin treatment, whether their patient has a condition caused by a terrorist act or not. New York City and Washington, DC hospitals use VisualDx for preparedness Learn More

	Critical preparedness information concerning pandemic flu and bioterrorism cannot always be at the forefront of busy clinicians' considerations. VisualDx offers "24x7" protection and preparedness by providing clinically useful diagnostic information including: EIDs (e.g., avian flu, SARS) Biological terrorism (includes nearly every Category A, B and C bioterrorism agent as designated by the CDC) Chemical warfare Radiation injury

	CDC/HRSA or HHS pandemic flu funding can be used to license VisualDx for your hospital network or emergency departments. Emergency departments across the nation have used CDC and/or HRSA funding to fulfill training and early detection guidelines using the VisualDx system.
