Our Solutions

We offer web service based solutions and custom application and content development for all clinical specialty areas. We focus on clinical issues where the complexity of decision making has increased rapidly due to a high number of treatment options, rapid introduction of diagnostic technologies such as genetic and bio-marker tests, and rapidly evolving diagnostic capabilities.

Our web services are highly focused in clinical scope and are easier to implement and integrate into the physician's clinical workflow. We include update services that inform clinical users of changes to the evidence and help them not only understand the changes but quickly identify patients who may be affected. All of our services follow industry standards for data integration and use of coded terminology sets.

Congruent Systems can delivers new content solutions on our existing decision support platform or develops new tools based on your requirements. We have engineers with experience across the health IT landscape including advanced skills in health systems architecture, clinical terminology, guideline development, domain specific languages and natural language processing.

Guideline organizations can benefit from the conversion of their static guideline content into computer executable guideline content (CEGLC). Congruent Systems can convert this content or help your organization transition to a completely computerized guideline development process. The resulting content can then be used to create both CEGLC and more traditional static content such as PDF guideline documents and navigable web based content. The live, interactive content can then be delivered within other health IT products, mobile applications and payer rule systems more readily and consistently.

We can provide training for your staff in test driven clinical content development, a methodology we have pioneered that ensures high quality clinical content with strong version control, workflow automation and automated test tools developed over 12 years of working with guideline and specialty organizations. We can work with your expert panel to solicit guideline decision tree flows and associated rules.

Congruent Systems is a clinical decision support (CDS) company that delivers evidence based clinical content and applications for guidelines, safety checklists, diagnostic and treatment selection. We deliver cloud based content that can be easily integrated into your EHR, CPOE or other health application.

When possible, we can help you measure key metrics and user satisfaction with the tools or content.
