xCures® is the Clinical Clarity Engine for healthcare, assembling and structuring patient medical records into decision-ready data.
Healthcare teams lose hours to manual chart review and medical record retrieval across disconnected systems. Interoperability moves data between systems, but moving data is not the same as making it usable. xCures turns scattered records into clinical data teams can act on.
The platform automatically assembles and processes patient data through multiple pipelines, including direct uploads, system integrations, EHRs, HIEs, QHINs, and APIs. Instead of raw, unprocessed medical records, xCures delivers the precise patient history output needed for the next decision, in the format the workflow requires.
xCures has its roots in one of healthcare's hardest data problems: the vast amount of cancer-related medical records, scattered across providers, in formats no single system could read.
Every result links back to its source document through full traceability. xCures works across providers, diagnostics labs, value-based care, and telehealth.
xCures delivers decision-ready outputs through:
* Decision-Ready Checklists for workflow execution
* Automated Patient History for longitudinal understanding
* Evidence Grade Data as a reusable clinical data foundation
The platform is designed for traceability with every data element linked to its source.
Clinical clarity, delivered into the workflow teams already use.
xCures by the numbers:
* 1.5M Documents processed per day (trailing 90-day avg.) from 550,000+ locations across all 50 states
* 99.7% combined accuracy across 200+ comorbidity assessments
* 415% information gain in family medical history extraction
