DXS
DXS is a medical knowledge management system and decision support software, free to doctors. It specialises in providing up-to-date clinical information to doctors and passively supporting the consultation. There is instant access to it from Vision Consultation Manager with which it is fully integrated.
Literature changes on a regular basis and the DXS database is updated frequently by an automated scheduler via the NHSNet or a standard internet connection, at least once a week if not every day. The update packet that the user downloads varies in size as it depends on the amount of new literature added, but is kept to a minimum with regular updates.
Each entry in the database is Read coded, and it provides filtered information for the condition (ie the Read code) that has been currently selected or entered.
