Addressing a need to provide specialty-level care to military members and their families, the U.S. Army has installed VisualDx at its 32 primary care residency programs throughout the United States. The nationwide deployment follows formal testing and evaluation in Eastern Europe and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Urban early detection
When the New York City Department of Health set out to help make all NYC clinicians alert clinicians and better protect the city in the event of a bioterrorist attack, they opted for a two-pronged approach for clinicians. By making VisualDx available via the NYC Health Alert Network (HAN) over 40,000 physicians citywide now have access to the software. In addition, 20 key hospitals are now running VisualDx in their Emergency Departments.
The Washington, DC Emergency Health and Medical Services Administration opted for a turnkey solution including VisualDx software, computer hardware, mobile carts, assembly, delivery and training services for 20 public health clinics and 10 major hospital Emergency Departments in the District of Columbia.

Dual use for preparedness and rural healthcare
With nearly two-thirds of its citizens living outside metropolitan areas, the Mississippi Department of Health wanted a dual-use solution that would help with early detection of bioterrorism and improve their ability to diagnose and treat common conditions, STDs and infectious disease. Using Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) bioterrorism preparedness grant funds, the state implemented VisualDx in the Emergency Departments of 17 hospitals and 10 district public health offices.

Statewide regional response
In a continuing effort to further strengthen the emergency preparedness and response capabilities of New York State’s healthcare system, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) provided VisualDx to eight Regional Resource Centers (RRCs) throughout upstate New York. In an emergency event or disease outbreak, the RRCs, in collaboration with the NYSDOH, local health departments, emergency management planners, and health care organizations, would coordinate a regional response.
