With Patients, NP Values VisualDx for Convenience

VisualDx offers clinicians the tools needed to save time, aid in decision-making, and engage patients. We are proud to announce our partnership with the American Association of Nurse Practitioners! We will be exhibiting at the AANP National Conference June 22-24. Stop by and see how medicine’s fastest second opinion works at the Partner Pavilion. One of our top users, Jennifer Pugh, who works at an urgent care clinic shared this story with us.

“As an NP working in the clinic setting, I often encounter ‘what’s this rash?’ Most people do not remember if they were exposed to any irritants, bitten by an insect, or have an allergy to their products. This often makes determining a diagnosis challenging for any provider who does not specialize in dermatology. This also creates long waits for new appointments with dermatology because the provider is more likely to refer the patient if he/she is unsure about a diagnosis.

“I discovered VisualDx at my previous place of employment. The application was offered to us through the hospital system (free to employees). I decided to give it a try since it was free. The application was easy to download to my phone and easy to use. There was an option to look up a diagnosis, or build differentials. There were multiple pictures available and I could search for disorders based on dark skin tones, age, location on the body, and distribution. I was also given a synopsis on the disorder, as well as pearls for diagnosis, management and therapy.

“VisualDx has certainly made my time in clinical practice worthwhile. Convenience is the most valuable option VisualDx offers to me. I am very busy, so I don’t have time to go through a book looking for a diagnosis. I no longer feel intimidation when I see ‘unknown rash’ on the schedule. I just whip out my application, upload the differential builder, and go from there! I no longer work for the facility that offered me VisualDx, but it was well worth it to purchase it on my own. I have told all of my co-workers and friends about this application and they all are very excited about it. Thank you, VisualDx!”
