Medicognos SA - Clinical Process Management And Continuity of Care

Medicognos is joint venture of practicing physicians and medical knowledge engineering experts from Europe and United States created to realize a shift from the old problem oriented medical record paradigm to a clinical knowledge and process management platform.

Medicognos delivers innovation through the realization of three main objectives:
Usability-focused Design User centered design for diminishing the semantic impedance existing between the software systems and the real-life mental model of practicing physicians and care providers	Continuity of Care Care process integration and coordination through knowledge-based software for care networks based on a formal distributed workflow management system	Quality and Safety Management Built-in evidence based decision support system for outcome improvement

The aim of Medicognos is to bring the clinical information systems to the level of functionality and usability required by the busy physicians for sustaining their daily effort to ensure the best quality care for their patients and the sustainability of the healthcare system.
