Master Regard with our step-by-step tutorial, detailed feature walkthrough, and expert tips.
Explore the key features that make Regard powerful for ai healthcare workflows.
Generates near-complete draft clinical notes — H&Ps, progress notes, and discharge summaries — before the physician sees the patient, using AI analysis of the full patient chart.
A hospitalist opens a patient chart and finds a pre-generated progress note with recommended diagnoses and supporting evidence already documented, reducing note-writing time significantly.
Reviews 100% of patient chart data to identify missed or underdocumented diagnoses like sepsis, malnutrition, acute kidney injury, and other conditions that manual review frequently misses.
Regard flags that a patient has lab values and vitals consistent with early sepsis that the admitting physician hadn't yet documented, enabling earlier intervention.
Integrates directly into existing EHR workflows, presenting findings and draft documentation within the systems clinicians already use — no separate application to open or context-switch.
A physician using Epic sees Regard's recommended diagnoses and draft documentation embedded in their normal workflow, accepting or modifying suggestions without leaving the EHR.
Captures clinically appropriate diagnoses with complete documentation, leading to accurate DRG assignments and reduced claim denials — typically upgrading MS-DRGs for 1.5-3% of seen encounters.
A hospital's finance team sees a measurable increase in case mix index and a 5% reduction in automated denials after deploying Regard across hospitalist teams.
Combines EHR chart data with ambient physician-patient conversation data to provide even more accurate diagnostic recommendations and documentation.
During a patient encounter, Regard captures the physician's verbal assessment and cross-references it with lab trends and medication history to suggest additional diagnoses.
Continuously monitors patient data and alerts care teams to deterioration, missed diagnoses, or conditions requiring immediate attention based on evidence-based clinical criteria.
An overnight nurse receives an alert that a patient's trending lab values suggest acute kidney injury, prompting earlier nephrologist consultation.
Regard integrates directly with Epic and Cerner through standard EHR integration pathways. The platform runs as a background process that reads patient data from the EHR and presents findings and draft documentation within the clinician's existing workflow. Implementation typically involves working with your health system's IT team and Regard's integration specialists.
Proactive Documentation is Regard's approach of generating near-complete draft clinical notes (H&Ps, progress notes, discharge summaries) before the physician sees the patient. Instead of physicians writing documentation from scratch after the encounter, they review and modify AI-generated drafts that already include recommended diagnoses and supporting evidence.
Results vary by institution, but Regard typically upgrades MS-DRGs for 1.5-3% of seen encounters and reduces automated claim denials by 1-10%. Penn Highlands Healthcare reported a $7M revenue increase and 30% time savings. Sentara Health achieved a 17% increase in CC/MCC capture with 4x ROI per user. Regard provides an ROI calculator on their website.
No. Regard complements CDI teams by proactively capturing diagnoses at the point of care, which reduces the volume of retrospective queries CDI teams need to send. This frees CDI professionals to focus on complex cases rather than routine documentation gaps.
Yes. Regard is fully HIPAA-compliant and designed for deployment in hospital environments with enterprise-grade security controls. The platform processes protected health information (PHI) in accordance with healthcare data security requirements.
Now that you know how to use Regard, it's time to put this knowledge into practice.
