    The QUICK MEDICAL REFERENCE (QMR) computer program offers diagnostic assistance for healthcare professionals in internal medicine. Preliminary studies suggest its case-analysis features are beneficial for patient diagnostic evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
    • Clinical Decision Support Systems

    Background:

    • INTERNIST-1 and its successor, QUICK MEDICAL REFERENCE (QMR), are computer programs developed for diagnostic assistance in general internal medicine.
    • Both programs utilize the INTERNIST-1 computerized knowledge base, which contains information on 570 internal medicine diseases.
    • INTERNIST-1 operates as a diagnostic consultant, while QMR functions as a versatile information tool.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the functionalities of the QMR program as an information tool and diagnostic aid.
    • To evaluate the potential benefits of QMR's case-analysis capabilities for physicians.

    Main Methods:

    • The study describes the design and features of the QMR program.

  • A preliminary evaluation assessed QMR's case-analysis capabilities in internal medicine patients.

    • Main Results:

    • QMR provides multiple ways to review and manipulate diagnostic information, functioning as an electronic medical textbook.
    • The program can assist users in generating diagnostic hypotheses for complex cases.
    • Preliminary findings indicate QMR's case-analysis capabilities are potentially beneficial for most internal medicine patients undergoing diagnostic evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • The QMR program offers a comprehensive resource for diagnostic assistance and information retrieval in internal medicine.
    • Its case-analysis features show promise for aiding physicians in complex diagnostic scenarios.
    • Further formal evaluation is needed, but initial results suggest QMR is a valuable tool for practicing physicians.
