- Your clinic has everything you need to make appropriate management decisions, including patient history, imaging, lab results and neuropsychiatric examination insights
- At the end of each visit, you will be asked to make a critical decision on the management of the patient.
- iCases will then show you how your decision compares to your peers (anonymously) and to the experts who treated that patient.
