Delivering best practice care through advanced clinical decision support
Today's healthcare providers encounter a myriad of challenges; primary care providers in particular are expected to achieve more with fewer resources, and often find that technology creates more obstacles than solutions.
There is a pressing need for better-integrated technology. Providers require solutions that enable them to efficiently merge clinical data with medical guidance to effectively manage this increasing complexity.
Clinical Assistant is designed to be a reliable ally in patient care. Created by physicians for providers and built on advanced clinical decision support (CDS) technology, Clinical Assistant delivers a top-tier solution that integrates seamlessly within existing EHR workflow.
The insights provided by Clinical Assistant stand out as they are uniquely tailored to the individual patient, offering guideline-directed recommendations to optimize medication therapy. We leverage precise, patient-specific data directly from the patient’s chart, ensuring our recommendations are both accurate and relevant.
