The Complex clinical cases require more than an isolated response.
Patients with multiple comorbidities, concurrent treatments, and previous studies require a clear differential diagnosis, The results of the studies, well-prioritized studies and a coherent therapeutic plan.
The Clinical Case Assistant in Itaca is designed to work on the complete case, integrating context, evolution and evidence in a single environment.
🧠 Prioritized differential diagnosis (DDx)
You can generate a prioritized differential diagnosis, where each hypothesis is justified with the relevant clinical findings.
This is not an extensive list without hierarchy.
It is a matter of prioritizing according to the patient's actual context.
🔬 Priority studies
The wizard can suggest the diagnostic studies with the greatest impact on decision making, explaining the clinical value of each one.
The goal is not to request more tests, but to request tests that actually change management.
📋 Diagnostic and therapeutic plan (A&P)
You can generate a diagnostic and therapeutic plan including:
- Studies to be requested
- Initial treatment
- Follow-up criteria
The plan integrates comorbidities, current treatments and relevant risks to maintain clinical consistency.
📝 Structured medical history (H&P)
From the case, you can generate a complete medical history, integrating:
- Reason for consultation
- Current condition
- Relevant background
- Physical examination
This is useful for academic organization or structured clinical documentation.
📈 Evolution note
As the case progresses, it may generate a clear and concise evolution note, focused on:
- Clinical changes
- Current evaluation
- Adjustments to the plan
🏥 Discharge summary
In scenarios that require it, you can elaborate a discharge summary, The final diagnosis, indicated treatment and follow-up recommendations are integrated.
⚠️ Relevant clinical considerations
When the case warrants it, the assistant may point out:
- Non-obvious clinical risks
- Possible relevant interactions
- Factors that could modify surveillance
These observations are only included when they have concrete clinical implications.
📚 ¿En qué se diferencia de Research (Respuestas clínicas)?
In Itaca there are two complementary tools:
Research (Clinical Responses)
- Designed for specific questions
- Evidence and reference oriented
- Ideal for spot checks
Example:
“What is the updated management of heart failure with reduced LVEF?”
Clinical Cases
- Designed for complete scenarios
- Integrates narrative, evolution and documents
- Allows to generate differential, studies and plan in context
Example:
Patient with diabetes, hypertension and dizziness in treatment with multiple antihypertensives.
This is not about a single question, but about integrating clinical variables and organizing decisions.
👩⚕️ Thinking the whole case
The Case Assistant does not replace clinical judgment.
Provides structured support for analyzing Complex clinical cases, especially when the differential diagnosis and therapeutic plan require the integration of multiple factors simultaneously.
When the case requires full context, working on a structured clinical unit offers greater diagnostic clarity than an isolated consultation.
