AI Tool for Diagnostic Test Ordering

Let your AI agent analyze patient histories and exam findings to recommend the right diagnostic tests and provide clear rationales—so you spend less time on paperwork and more with your patients.

As a clinician, you waste hours in Epic or Cerner, combing through patient records and guidelines, worried you'll overlook a risk factor or order unnecessary tests. You juggle emails, PDFs, and medical references just to justify each test. The constant pressure to be thorough steals time from patient care and adds to your workload.

An AI agent that reviews patient charts and exam notes to suggest evidence-based diagnostic tests and generate rationale summaries for clinicians.

What this replaces

Extract patient risk factors from Epic charts
Cross-reference symptoms with UpToDate guidelines
Write test justification in clinical documentation
Enter diagnostic orders manually in Cerner
Double-check test selection against latest protocols

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In healthcare, physicians and nurse practitioners lose 6-8 hours every week digging through Epic and UpToDate, manually matching symptoms to guidelines, and documenting test rationales. This tedious process leads to delays, missed details, and increased administrative burden. The constant back-and-forth between EHRs and reference sites adds stress and increases the risk of diagnostic mistakes.

AI Agent FAQ

No. The agent provides suggestions and rationales, but you always make the final decisions. It supports your workflow, not overrides it.

The agent works with data you provide from Epic, Cerner, or similar EHRs. It does not access records independently and never stores patient information after processing.

Your agent references the latest evidence from UpToDate, PubMed, and specialty society guidelines. You should verify recommendations before acting.

The agent uses TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit and does not retain patient data. You must ensure it fits your practice’s compliance needs.

It performs best with common presentations but can assist with rare or multi-symptom cases by highlighting relevant factors and evidence. Multi-language support is on the roadmap.

The agent connects via API to Epic, Cerner, and can accept uploads of patient charts. It generates recommendations and rationale summaries you can review and edit before finalizing orders.
