Description

Product Description:

Virtual Triage efficiently tackles the first mile of care by getting patients to the right care, at the right place and time with the right type of provider.

  • Avoid unnecessary ER and urgent care utilization
  • Promote convenient and consumer-centric care access
  • Enable better care navigation, including emergency, primary, and specialty care
  • Reduce high-volume, low-value administrative burdens on care teams by streamlining care routing and appointment booking processes

Clearstep’s Virtual Triage algorithms are built on top of Schmitt Clinical Content and are unique to each patient’s symptoms, acuity, and situation. Dr. Barton Schmitt is the co-author of the telephone triage protocols used in ~95% of call centers around the country and have been validated in over 200 million telephone triage encounters. They are the gold standard for telephone triage and Clearstep is the only provider of Schmitt Clinical Content for chat-based digital self-triage. In a double-blinded study, Clearstep’s triage routing exceeded 95% accuracy when compared to the judgment of a panel of ER doctors in a live, community-hospital setting.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
Clearstep marries disparate data sets that exist in various locations within the system. We take the responsibility to marry clinical content, provider directories, insurance & eligibility information, claims data, and scheduling systems so that your system's teams do not have to. Clearstep is ready-made and fully-supported by our development team.platform that is customizable to your health system's specific resources. Clearstep's business solution package also offers patient targeting to ensure that patients searching specific symptoms within a health system's geography are routed into that system via a seamless, effortless, already-built user experience.
Differentiators vs Competitors:
Clearstep is the only solution providing an end-to-end user experience that guides patients through all aspects of booking care. Our symptom checker is powered by the most accurate triage, diagnostic, and home care content available and is derived off content that is already used in 95% of nurse call centers in the country. Clearstep uniquely offers a natural language processing engine that can handle free-text descriptions of an individual's chief complaint. In addition to featuring the most accurate content available, Clearstep's digital dialog asks the least number of questions as compared to competitor platforms and provides a single next-best step. Competitors often provide multiple possible causes and next steps that reduce clarity for the end-user's next step.
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

End-to-end online/mobile booking, virutal care and at-home transactional platform that supports an access & convenience business model. The platform is built as a consumer-facing technology that is built on modern technology and designed for a 10x better consumer experience. Because it sits above the EMR application, the platform has an integration & service layer which connects the transactional components of the same-day platform with the EMR providing continuity of care.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

DexCare makes care options much more discoverable to consumers anywhere they are online. The platform intelligently guides consumers to the safest and best care options, and then connects the resources, people, and facilities, offered by the health system to patients in a way that automatically allocates those resources when and where they’re most productive. 

It guides patients to care options meeting their criteria and books their in-person or virtual appointments in real time. The capacity optimization also generates significant growth and efficiencies for health systems with results such as: a 40% increase in physician capacity through smarter appointment scheduling; a net 30% increase in new patients, the majority of whom are commercially insured; and a resulting eightfold increase in downstream revenue.
