Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States (Johns Hopkins).

Significant disparity exists in the quality of care provided by healthcare professionals, due to lack of access to “just-in-time,” evidence-based protocols, to a knowledge gap of current practice and to the rapid change in new methods of care. This is especially critical at the early stage of patients with illness or injury, when timely decisions impact life-or-death outcomes. Lack of effective, best-practice protocols throughout the patient care process engenders low quality care outcome, escalates the cost of treatment and fragments the health care system which must absorb new technology, medications and techniques.

Triaj is revolutionizing the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients through an advanced clinical decision support system for healthcare professionals, which provides best practice, patient treatment which is available anywhere, anytime as a cloud-based, communications network solution.
