| Medical
Diagnostic System Diagnoses the Need for dtSearch |
“We
picked dtSearch because of it's ease of use,
its speed of responses, and its ability to
seamlessly scan multiple databases in a single
search.”

Golden
Visions Consulting, LLC, developed a diagnostic
system that aids medical personnel in diagnosing
diseases and building medical case studies. The
user interface seamlessly guides medical personnel
in entering a variety of full-text and fielded
data search criteria. The most important entry
is, of course, observed symptoms, such as fever.
After querying an SQL database, the system comes
back with a list of possible diagnoses. All returns
include medically specialized rankings, so that
the most medically probable result will come back
first, followed by the second most probable choice,
etc. For example, if flu was a more probable diagnosis
than chicken pox, flu would come up as the first
entry.

“Search
speed was instantaneous. We also like the
ability to enter very complex search requests,
including full-text and fielded-text parameters,
with highly accurate, instant results. And
the dtSearch Engine was easy to merge with
SQL.”

Visions delivered this system both as a Web-based
service and as an offline CD-based application.
Both delivery methods use the same database-backed
search and page generation code. And both delivery
methods use the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine.
“We
picked dtSearch because of it's ease of use, its
speed of responses, and its ability to seamlessly
scan multiple databases in a single search,”
said Golden Blount, Director, Technical Services
of Golden Visions. “Indexing
speed was very quick. The dtSearch Engine indexed
all of our documents in a couple of minutes for
one of our databases.”
“Search
speed was instantaneous,” added Br. Blount.
“We
also like the ability to enter very complex search
requests, including full-text and fielded-text parameters,
with highly accurate, instant results. And the dtSearch
Engine was easy to merge with SQL.”
Mr. Blount also appreciated the flexibility of the
dtSearch Engine. “dtSearch
gave us the added benefit of being able to deliver
an integrated online and offline solution.”
And the system has been a success. “Students
who have used the diagnostic system have raved about
their success in searching with our system.”
