Kanayo Software is pleased to announce the release of HealthGraph Community Beta, a new website that enables members to track and measure their health conditions, symptoms and treatments, and share information with others.
The Kanayo Diabetes Case Management Application (KDCMA) is an enhanced Diabetes Case Management Application aimed at primary care physicians, specialists, and patients with diabetes. KDCMA is a decision support and reminder system that collects, stores, and displays pertinent clinical information. Additionally, KDCMA provides accurate and timely flow sheets and alerts to physicians. The system is based on the Chronic Care Model (Wagner et al), which focuses on the creation of a clinical setting consisting of a prepared, proactive health care team and an informed, active patient.
The KDCMA is used to assess patients, from their initial visit through to corresponding follow-up appointments. The interface is easy to understand and can be mastered quickly by even the most novice computer user.
