Inferscience’s Clinical Decision Support solution Infera, provides clinicians with real-time, evidence-based clinical recommendations at the point of care. Integrated with an Electronic Health Record (EHR), Infera’s sophisticated knowledge base seamlessly runs in the background of the EHR. Our proprietary intuitive recommendation engine evaluates patient specific data against clinical algorithms. Infera captures the patient context, and provides a recommendation tailored to a specific patient during the visit. In spite of widespread EMR adoption, EMRs are currently being used mostly as documentation tools and the quality of medical care is uneven. Infera harnesses that documentation to help physicians make better, evidence-based decisions which improves patient care and avoids unnecessary tests and procedures. The cost of healthcare is lowered and the physician gets compensated for meeting quality goals at a lower cost.
