DOCS4DOCS is an innovative tool to introduce a basic level of clinical information system utilization in physician practices. It provides clinical messaging functions – in its simplest form, practices receive various kinds of clinical data and messages from multiple sources; the system aggregates and sorts the data in useful ways and provides printed versions of this data that a physician can review and act on much as they do today.  DOCS4DOCS can be used to record when results have been reviewed for inter and intra office communications, and for short to intermediate term storage of these results.

DOCS4DOCS is deployed for over 800 physicians today and is the tool that ICareConnect, see below, will support in physician offices.  The system uses a novel distributed approach to provider identity maintenance.  Providers link themselves to the various identifiers used in various source systems (providers may have different and even multiple identifiers in a single hospitals laboratory, transcription and ADT systems for example).  Not only does this approach simplify maintenance but puts it in the hands of those who stand to benefit by good maintenance and who know the mappings best.
