Limited 24 hours

We only have 24 hours in a day. But as a medical doctor, how much time do you spend per patient? Let me rephrase this. How much time do you spend diagnosing a patient?

Honestly speaking, you probably won’t spend a few seconds telling your patient about their diagnosis. It would take minutes to talk to your patient and more to make a decision about their problems.

Steps to diagnosis

For example, let’s say a patient comes to the hospital feeling uncomfortable. What would be the process of diagnosing your patient?

First, you meet your patient and go through some examinations. Then you tell your patient to wait outside until you decide what to diagnose them with. Sometimes you may want to take time to research or reflect more on what and how to diagnose the patient with. At last, after waiting for minutes, they are called back in to get their diagnosis.

Now, think about it. How much time do you spend trying to decide the patient’s diagnosis?

Be Efficient

Well, imagine the time and energy it takes for you to search for material. You would have to collect several references and look at the detailed information carefully when searching for a specific case.

Even if it’s the same type of disease, the symptoms may vary depending on the age and medical history of a patient. But this doesn’t mean that you can roughly search it up. The solution may appear if only you find the case that meets the conditions.

According to the research of Anton van der Vegt, Guido Zuccon, Bevan Koopman, and Anthony Deacon, it has been proven that “Under low time pressure, the correct answer rate significantly improved by 32% when the participants used the search system, whereas, under high time pressure, this improvement was only 6%.”

The doctors spend and use their energy and time just to find the right resources for minutes and minutes, but we can help you with that.

What you really need

  1. Searching Specifically.

One of the most important things a doctor needs is the ability to find data specifically. If you’re stuck while writing or encounter a new case that you haven’t seen before, you would probably try several methods to search for the case you’re looking for. If you find the case with the best condition, it will increase the likelihood of a quick solution or an insight.

2. Searching Fast.

Lepius provides search methods to find specific cases easily and quickly. Searching for medical cases in Lepius will save your time and energy, and allow you to focus use your time efficiently by focusing on your personal medical work.

Lepius can help, if this is your case.

Lepius provides search methods to find specific cases easily and quickly. Searching for medical cases in Lepius will save your time and energy, and allow you to focus use your time efficiently by focusing on your personal medical work.

Here is one of the solutions.

Searching in Lepius is very simple. First thing you can do, is writing the query with information you know about the patient. It can be a couple of sentences, a group of some medical terms, or maybe a short summary of your patient case. Our search engine will analyze your query, extract important clinical information from it, and come back with the most related case posts.

But you don’t always have to put all the keywords just to search specifically.

Even if you enter a broader keyword, you’ll be able to quickly get the search results you want by applying various filters. Narrow down your search results by specifying sex, age group, accompanying symptoms or test results.

Then here’s this.

However, Searching with a query text is not the only option. Select a medical term — probably a symptom or disease — you want to start with. We have more than 100,000+ medical terms in our database, and you’ll be able to find a list of medical cases on Lepius that contains the condition you selected.

Then, add up more conditions in the filters to find the ones you were looking for. It can drastically shorten the process of searching for medical cases.

You can decide whether you want to use Lepius or not. But just imagine looking up the summarized cases you were looking for right away with just a few clicks and how it can change the way we make clinical decisions. Once learned about it, you’ll hit Lepius first when you can’t make your clinical decisions.
