10-14 day advance warning of hospitalization
AI-first for immediate prioritization
Pre-operative risk prediction with clinical validation

Ambient Awareness

AI listens and documents, allowing clinicians to focus on patients.

Real-time clinical documentation generation
Critical health signal detection at home
70% administrative burden reduction

Mission
Control™

Unified dashboard where providers and payers track VBC success.

Real-time VBC metrics and shared savings tracking
Quality outcomes and performance visibility
Transparent collaboration between all stakeholders

Nationwide Interoperability

Complete data exchange ensures optimum risk prediction.

Part of Commonwell QHIN for automatic data flow
FHIR/USCDI compliant across all care settings
No siloed data or missed utilization events

Acuity Intelligence

Prediction enables optimal value-based care achievements

Predictive Risk Engine

10-14 day advance warning turns reactive care into proactive intervention.

AI-first, physician-designed algorithms
140+ data elements analyzed continuously
Pre-operative and hospitalization risk prediction

Pursuit of academic standards

"Improving Clinical Prediction and Care Coordination for Congestive Heart Failure Through a Structured Continuous Health AI System -- Submitted to NIH April 6th 2025"
Research validates clinical effectiveness
CHF prediction and care coordination

Example: Predictive Intervention Success

CHI flags diabetic patient with rising infection risk 12 days before crisis. Proactive antibiotic treatment prevents $25K sepsis hospitalization. Both provider and payer share in the documented savings.

Ambient Clinical Awareness

Reducing cognitive burden while improving documentation accuracy

Dual-Purpose AI

AI listens, documents, and provides clinical insights without disrupting workflow.

Accurate clinical documentation in real-time
Supports clinical decision-making with data insights
Reduces administrative burden on clinicians

Value-Based Care Impact

Better documentation and clinical insights support improved patient outcomes and quality metrics.

Enhanced documentation accuracy for quality reporting
More time for direct patient care and assessment
Supports clinical workflows and decision processes

Clinical Workflow Enhancement

Ambient AI captures clinical conversations and generates comprehensive documentation, allowing clinicians to focus on patient assessment and care planning rather than administrative tasks. This leads to more thorough patient evaluations and improved care coordination.

Mission Control™

Real-time VBC command center for providers and payers

Unified Dashboard

One platform where providers and payers see the same VBC metrics in real-time.

CHI risk scores for patient prioritization
VBC performance tracking and alerts
Quality metrics monitoring and reporting

VBC Transparency

Complete transparency builds trust and accelerates VBC partnership success.

Real-time quality metrics tracking
Cost and utilization trend analysis
Performance benchmarking and reporting

Data-Driven Partnership

Provider sees patient flagged high-risk by CHI and implements care plan interventions. Payer tracks utilization trends and quality metrics over time. Both partners use shared data to optimize care coordination and demonstrate value-based outcomes through measurable performance indicators.

Nationwide Interoperability

Seamless data exchange across all care settings

CommonWell QHIN Integration

Acuity is part of a national health information exchange—data flows automatically.

Real-time ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer) feeds from any hospital
Complete patient history across EHR systems
FHIR/USCDI compliant data exchange

VBC Data Completeness

Complete data means accurate VBC analytics and fair shared savings calculations.

No siloed data or missed utilization
Comprehensive risk stratification accuracy
Future-proof against regulatory changes

Example: Cross-Setting Care Coordination

Home health patient visits ER at 2 AM. Acuity instantly receives ADT alert via QHIN, triggers care team notification, enables immediate intervention planning—preventing readmission and protecting shared savings.

Why Acuity Wins

Unique capabilities no competitor offers

Competitive Differentiators

We're the only platform that combines ambient AI with direct VBC participation.

Home Health VBC Success

Purpose-built for HHVBP and value-based care optimization

Purpose-Built for Home Health

While competitors focus on hospitals and clinics, we're the only platform designed specifically for home health VBC success.

Ambient documentation decreases cognitive burden
CHF, fall risk, and wound deterioration prediction
Real-time ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer) alerts for care coordination
RPM integration captures critical signals at home

VBC Optimized for Home Health

Home health is the future of VBC—lower costs, better outcomes, and patient preference drive the shift to care at home.

HHVBP (Home Health Value-Based Purchasing) star ratings directly impact reimbursement
30-day readmission prevention = shared savings
Higher HHVBP star ratings boost quality payments
Cost per episode 70% lower than hospital care

Hypothetical Example: Home Health VBC Success

Agency prevents 25% of readmissions using Acuity's ambient awareness and CHI alerts. Result: $300K in shared savings, improved HHVBP scores, and 95% patient satisfaction—proving home health is the optimal VBC setting.
