Healthcare consumers and patients have several sources for decision support information:  their physician's office, a medical advice helpline, the Internet and now the iPhone or other a variety of mobile devices.  Self Care Decisions recognizes the need for consumers' decision-support tools to be consistent with the advice they would receive from their own providers.

Physician-authors Drs. Schmitt and Thompson are best known for the decision support protocols they have written for use by physician offices and after-hours medical advice help lines. Our Symptom Checkers and Parent Advice Messages are consistent with the authors’ professional-level clinical content – but adapted to the terms and common situations described by parents, grandparents, teens and adults.

Your customers can use the symptom checking tools and care advice with confidence, knowing that their own physicians rely on the same, time-tested information.
