Visio is a great tool for general diagramming but when it comes to medical and healthcare-specific diagrams a better tool is ConceptDraw HealthCare Management Suite. The stuff it’s good for includes (this comes from their website):
- Medical diagrams and charts
- Medical illustrations and graphics
- Teaching and education materials
- Medical training diagrams and drawings
- Anatomical drawings for medical notes
- Visualizing complex medical issues
- Flowcharts, orgcharts
- Healthcare plans
- Medical project plans
- To-do lists for stuff
- Process flow charts for presentations
- Numerous reports, calendars and timelines
- Cause-and-effect diagrams
- Floor plan of your hospital
If you know of other software that does similar things in a better way, let me know.
