About GrepMed

GrepMed is a community-sourced, searchable medical image repository for referencing clinically relevant medical images.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and image reference search can provide significant cognitive offloading to busy clinicians and educators who are inundated by swaths of text from the EMR and traditional reference solutions.

GrepMed will make high yield diagnostic and management algorithms, guidelines, checklists, evidence summaries, clinical images (x-rays, rashes, ekgs, microscopy) and more easily accessible from any web browser. Clinically relevant images will be upvoted by the community through “likes” and bookmarks.

#FOAMed content creators will be able to share their infographic creations to a much wider audience, for much longer than the lifespan of a tweet. Bookmarking and search capabilities will make images previously relegated to the back of your phone’s camera roll much more likely to be rediscovered for teaching or personal use.

The more people use and contribute to the site, the more useful it will become.

Search details

Search is currently based on keywords/hash-tags rather than natural language search. Eg you would search “Diagnosis Pneumonia” rather than “Diagnosis of Pneumonia”.

Certain hash-tags are reserved to allow the user to filter down search results for relevance as the library continues to increase in size.

• Diagnosis - Useful for diagnosis and workup.
• Management - Related to treatment and management.
• Clinical - Patient clinical pictures (rashes, wounds, EKGs, path / microscopy slides, XRays, photos)
• Pharmacology - Related to pharmacology
• Pathophysiology - Distinct from pathology, these images highlight disease processes and mechanisms.
• EBM - Pertaining to or summarizing Evidence Based Medicine, journals or publications
• PatientInfo - Decision Aids or other patient-centered information meant to be shared or printed out for patients.

Images are subsequently tagged by specialty (Pediatrics, CriticalCare, Pathology, Radiology, Orthopedics, Cardiology, Obstetrics, Surgery, Neurology, Nephrology, Ophthalmology, Nursing, etc)
