  "Sometimes what you need when you're making a diagnosis is a little thing that helps steer you in the right direction; it's almost like remembering somebody's name," says Napoleon Knight, M.D., Carle's vice president of medical affairs.Knight uses the system from Isabel Healthcare Inc., Reston, Va., as he treats patients in the emergency department.
  ...
  Knight says he regularly tests the system by entering information about cases for which he's already made a definitive diagnosis."I test the machine to see if it's as smart as I am, and it usually displays the same diagnosis that I came up with," he says.
  
  The software can work on any hardware platform linked to the Internet.Many of the 475 physicians at Carle have been using the system since the fall of 2006.
  
  Knight says the system particularly comes in handy when he's treating patients from other countries who are students at nearby University of Illinois."I might see a very rare condition and use it to help me with that," he says.
  
  Although Carle has not yet conducted an analysis of whether misdiagnoses have declined as a result of using the system, one of its malpractice re-insurers has already given it a slight discount on its rates as a result of using the system, Knight says.
  
  Plus, Knight is encouraging physicians to use the system by offering them continuing medical education credits for incorporating the decision support into their practice.
