Knowledge-Quest Inc. (KQI) is a Florida corporation dedicated to publishing relational medical databases for clinical decision support activities. We use highly structured formats to build our digital books and because of this compact structure we have the ability to do comparisons and contrasts across the entire spectrum of conditions that make humans sick. No paper document or digital copy of textbooks or journals can perform these functions.
The diagnostic information stored on this relational database is based on the Gold Standards of medicine. These Gold Standards are the most recent peer-reviewed textbooks and journals in the industry. The authors of these books and journals are world experts in their field and their combined wisdom is what supports the information you receive. Each fact in the database is referenced to at least one or more of the Gold Standard sources. We use board certified physicians to author our digital databases and then subject the entire online encyclopedia to editorial review and audit prior to release. With this extensive preparation and structured formatting, KQI can offer clinical decision support tools and case analysis reports that are unique in the industry. New information is constantly flowing to our editorial staff each day from the latest findings that are reported in contemporaneous literature. If you had the time and could read all the books and journals that support our files and then could properly structure them for retrieval, you could produce the same results. We have made this timely clinical information as accessible as your computer screen or wireless terminal. If you should wish to read the original sources, these references are attached to each medical fact and can be displayed or printed for your evaluation.
Our goal is to support your clinical decision making process with a comprehensive analysis of your diagnostic problem. Since the computer has no limit on its memory, it will always be getting better and more complete. Since the computer does not sleep or need weekends off, we can respond to your needs the moment you log on.
If you need more detailed clinical information on a disease, drug, toxin, bioterrorist agent , plant, animal, fish, snake, dietary supplement or harmful medical condition, our library has it all! Our relational files are organized for rapid access and comprehensive reporting with minimal delays. Don’t waste your time with Google when you can use our library and get the complete picture all on one screen with no delay. You can access our professionally prepared data immediately or spend your valuable time reading useless references and advertising. To help you focus and expedite your search activities, we also offer structured computer generated searches from within our web site for key facts that might be helpful in the diagnostic and treatment process.
Our decision support programs make no prediction of statistical fit to your situation. We are not a diagnostician but a digital decision support tool. We support your role as the medical expert who must filter all the pertinent information and make the final decision. Our goal is to provide the most complete differential diagnosis possible with supporting documentation and allow additional testing services to help you sort down the possibilities.
Our digital library is designed for rapid access and will give you the most current information on the Internet. You can print this data for chart reference and/or analyze your options using our internal comparison programs. These are designed to show the complete spectrum of the disease so you can see how closely your case matches the Gold Standards for that condition.
The database is never static and is constantly changing as new updates are made available. Our medical editorial staff does the critical abstracting and authoring so you can apply this data directly to your most demanding patient care challenges without delay or disruptions.
Remember, the most frequent medical diagnostic error is that of omission and not commission. If the disease or condition is not on your list of options, your chance of making the correct diagnosis is slim. The more comprehensive the differential diagnosis, the more likely you are to not omit a critical diagnostic possibility.
