Description

Product Description:

The only evidence-based, explainable AI triage built on gold-standard clinical protocols trusted by every major health system.

Clearstep identifies the safest, most appropriate next step and routes patients directly into bookable care, based on real-time system capacity, eligibility, provider preferences, hours, distance, insurance rules, and more.

Why Clearstep is Chosen:

  • Reduces unnecessary ED/urgent volume by 40–70%
  • Lowers clinical risk with transparent, guideline-aligned logic
  • Eliminates friction by accelerating time-to-right-care
  • Aligns patients to your care pathways, not generic recommendations
  • Most academically validated + widely deployed triage AI (2024 & 2025 NPJ Digital Medicine)

Solves: cost-efficient 24/7 patient access + support, inappropriate utilization, long waits, siloed triage tools, outdated decision trees.

About Clearstep:

Clearstep is the most widely implemented agentic AI platform for patient access and capacity optimization in U.S. health systems. Built on Dr. Barton Schmitt’s nationally trusted clinical triage protocols, Clearstep delivers >95% accuracy, transparent and explainable decisioning, and the strongest clinical rigor of any AI-powered triage or navigation solution on the market.

Clearstep partners with leading health systems—including HCA Healthcare, Ochsner Health, Mount Sinai Health System, Novant Health, Tufts Medicine, and Baylor Scott & White—to solve their most urgent access and operations challenges: misrouted care, overwhelmed call centers, fragmented digital entry points, and underused provider and facility capacity.

Through its Smart Care Routing™ platform, Clearstep removes the friction, waste, and variability that keep patients from reaching the right care and keep health systems from using their resources effectively.

By powering every digital and phone front door with AI agents that triage, navigate, schedule, intake, and support call center workflows, Clearstep delivers a seamless, guided patient experience—while unlocking millions in operational efficiency through smarter, data-driven utilization of clinical and facility capacity.

Product Description:

The experience for patients on the phone is far from optimal. Patients experience: 

  1. Long hold times
  2. 3-4 transfers to get to the correct destination
  3. Broken extensions
  4. Full or malfunctioning voice mailboxes
  5. Lack of resolution of their needs.

On average, one third of incoming phone callers abandon the call before they get help and 60% of incoming phone calls to your hospital are unresolved. This requires multiple phone calls from patients to get their needs met and to transact business, which exacerbates your phone call volume problems.

ActiumHealth Interact allows you to solve your patient experience problems on the phone easily and at a fraction of the cost of a human operator and allows callers to use natural language to navigate your telephony system and intelligently routes them to the correct destination more often than a human. With ActiumHealth Interact:  

  1. Call abandonment is markedly reduced
  2. Hold times shrink considerably
  3. Callers are transferred on average one time during a call rather than 3-4 times
  4. First call resolution rises considerably
  5. Daily call volume handled by humans operators is reduced 50%
  6. Patients have a much more consistent brand experience
  7. And with EHR integration, automated transactions like scheduling functions, prescription refill, bill pay, and medical records requests become possible.

Use Cases

Description:

We white-labeled and fully-configured a COVID-19 screener to the care access points (hospitals, telemedicine providers, nurse hotlines, and at-home resources of a 17-hospital system (reach out to learn specifics). A COVID-alert message on the home page routes users to the option to screen their symptoms for risk of infection and presentation of system-wide care options. The entire process of whitelabeling, configuring, implementing, testing, and going live was complete in 5 business days.

Pediatric use cases:

Clearstep's virtual triage platform is able to route >99% of adult and pediatric chief complaints towards their evidence-based next step.

Users:

Once live, an e-mail campaign was sent out to 650,000 residents in the areas surrounding the system to inform them that they could screen their symptoms. The email achieved the highest engagement rates of any mailer ever (3x higher email open rate and click-through rates). The COVID screener was used 30,000 times in the first three days.

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:

We are the front door to a health system. As a contact center automation provider we integrate with the EHR we do not compete with it.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

  3. We answer over 1M calls a month for our current partners
  4. Real ROI for our partners
