AristaMD offers its clients unique tools for facilitating electronic consultations, often called eConsults and in-network specialist referrals that offer great value and rapid ROI, typically within 30 days of the rollout. eConsults enable higher-level care at a lower cost than the traditional delivery model. 

Health systems access AristaMD's platform to improve workforce efficiency while reducing costs. This interoperable platform can be used alone or integrated with any EHR without disrupting a hospital's clinical workflow. AristaMD offers a team of Registered Nurse Navigators (RNNs) to support the implementation and ongoing routing of eConsults. Using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, RNNs identify referral and follow-up requests that are appropriate for eConsult, route these requests to the appropriate specialist and return the recommendations to the patient's primary care provider for treatment.  

eConsult services are typically used by health systems to lower readmission rates and manage emergency department and discharge follow-up.

Carium is a Care Experience Platform (CXP) delivering the next generation of advanced virtual care technology. Within one, cohesive ecosystem, the end-to-end care journey is actionable, personalized and efficient for care teams and the people they serve. Carium helps health systems, payors/payviders and healthcare innovators lower costs; increase speed-to-market; achieve measurable results; and enable robust, engaged experiences.

Our secret sauce is that Carium enables a better care experience – whether as the care “giver” or the care “receiver”– than legacy/existing technologies have been able to provide. With better experiences, people want to engage, feel good when engaging, realize benefits, and see results.

EHRs, due to their ubiquitous presence in healthcare, are also considered competitors. However, their primary function as digital record-keeping fails to deliver action-based engagement on the data it stores. 

Recently, some major EHRs introduced additional functionality intended as engagement capabilities, but are instead, simply retro-fitted aged architectures with limited functionality. Our third competitor category is Customer (or Patient) Relationship Managers, most of which fail to align with the unique needs of the healthcare industry and fail to integrate within the larger ecosystem of care.

According to our customers and market analysis, our top differentiators include:

• One end-to-end, complete platform ecosystem for advanced virtual care, enabling healthcare. organizations to streamline their tech stack
• Ability to actively engage people within their healthcare journey, regardless of disease state, condition, or location.
• Ability to automate care team workflows to optimize operational efficiencies. 
• Ability to customize clinical pathways and retain IP ownership.
• Ability to deploy within weeks, with less cost than hiring just one senior software engineer.
