Clinical Assistant

An EHR-integrated solution delivering advanced clinical decision support for guideline-directed, patient-specific medication recommendations.

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.

Clinical Assistant is updated whenever new guidelines are published to always stay current.

The provider launches Clinical Assistant directly from the patient’s chart during an ambulatory encounter. Pertinent clinical data from the EHR are seamlessly extracted and rapidly applied to sophisticated evidence-based algorithms within our CDS engine. This process generates guideline-based recommendations that are immediately displayed within the app for the provider's review. The provider makes their choice, and the decision is saved back to the patient’s chart to be signed as part of the standard clinic ordering workflow.

Clinical Assistant currently integrates with Epic and Altera TouchWorks, with future plans to integrate with eCW and athenahealth.
