About
Regard is a healthcare AI platform designed to address the Clinical Insights Gap — the reality that clinicians can only review approximately 3% of a patient's data (averaging 50,000 data points per record) at the point of care. Unlike traditional solutions that react after care is delivered, Regard operates proactively: it analyzes the full patient chart before the physician encounter, surfaces critical diagnoses, and auto-generates a near-complete draft clinical note. Regard's Proactive Documentation approach unifies clinical and administrative teams by ensuring that diagnoses are not missed and that documentation is accurate and thorough from the start. Clinicians benefit from reduced administrative burden and can focus their time on direct patient care rather than documentation. Hospitals benefit from improved revenue capture by ensuring diagnoses are properly documented and coded, with real-world outcomes including a reported $7M revenue increase at Penn Highlands and 30% time savings for clinicians. The platform has demonstrated measurable improvements in patient safety, diagnostic accuracy, and operational efficiency across major health systems including Sentara Health, Kettering Health, and Banner Health. Regard is purpose-built for enterprise health systems and integrates directly into existing clinical workflows at the point of care.
Key Features
- Proactive Documentation: Automatically generates a near-complete draft clinical note before the physician sees the patient, reducing documentation time and burden.
- 100% Patient Data Review: Analyzes all 50,000+ data points in a patient's chart — far beyond the 3% a clinician can realistically review manually — to surface critical insights.
- AI-Powered Diagnosis Recommendations: Identifies undiagnosed conditions, vital context, and medication considerations from the patient's full medical history and flags them for clinician review.
- Revenue Protection: Ensures diagnoses are captured with complete and accurate documentation, helping hospitals protect and recover revenue through proper coding and billing.
- Clinical and Administrative Alignment: Bridges the gap between clinical teams and administrative workflows by ensuring documentation is accurate, complete, and compliant from the point of care.
Use Cases
- Automatically generating complete draft clinical notes before a physician encounter to reduce documentation burden
- Identifying undiagnosed or under-documented conditions from a patient's full medical history to improve care quality
- Protecting hospital revenue by ensuring all diagnoses are captured accurately in clinical documentation for billing purposes
- Improving patient safety by surfacing critical medications, comorbidities, and historical context that clinicians might otherwise miss
- Aligning clinical and administrative teams around accurate, proactive documentation to streamline operations across a health system
Pros
- Demonstrated ROI: Real-world outcomes include a $7M revenue increase at Penn Highlands and 30% time savings, providing a measurable return on investment for health systems.
- Reduces Physician Burnout: Offloads tedious documentation tasks from clinicians, allowing them to focus on patient care rather than administrative work.
- Improved Patient Safety: Surfaces undiagnosed conditions and critical history that would otherwise be missed, leading to safer and more informed clinical decisions.
- Proven at Scale: Deployed at major health systems including Sentara Health, Banner Health, and Kettering Health, with over 1 million recommended diagnoses accepted by clinicians.
Cons
- Enterprise-Only Product: Regard is designed exclusively for large health systems and hospitals, making it inaccessible to smaller practices or individual clinicians.
- Healthcare-Specific Scope: The platform is narrowly focused on clinical documentation and diagnosis workflows, with no applicability outside of the healthcare vertical.
- Complex Implementation: Integrating an AI platform into existing clinical and EHR workflows at a health system level requires significant onboarding and change management.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Clinical Insights Gap?
The Clinical Insights Gap refers to the disconnect between the vast amount of patient data available (averaging 50,000 data points per record) and what clinicians can realistically review at the point of care — estimated at only about 3%. Regard's platform is designed to close this gap.
What is Proactive Documentation?
Proactive Documentation is Regard's approach to generating near-complete and accurate clinical notes before the physician sees the patient, rather than reviewing documentation reactively after care has been delivered.
How does Regard improve hospital revenue?
Regard ensures that diagnoses are captured with complete and accurate documentation, preventing missed diagnoses from falling through the cracks in billing and coding. Clients have reported revenue increases of up to $7M as a result.
Which health systems use Regard?
Regard is used by major health systems including Sentara Health, Banner Health, Kettering Health, and Penn Highlands Healthcare, among others.
Does Regard replace the physician's role?
No. Regard generates draft documentation and surfaces diagnosis recommendations for physician review — the clinician retains full control over accepting, modifying, or rejecting any suggestion. It is designed to assist, not replace, clinical judgment.
