# Accare

*/Startups/Accare*

## Startup Overview

This platform connects directly to electronic health records to autonomously extract the clinical evidence required for value-based contract compliance. It parses unstructured physician notes, lab results, and patient histories to verify whether specific medical requirements are met.

Healthcare organizations operating under risk-bearing contracts typically depend on labor-intensive manual chart audits or legacy systems like Optum Claims Manager and Innovaccer. These alternatives rely heavily on structured claims data, frequently missing the clinical proof buried in free-text fields.

By fully automating the evidence extraction process, this system bypasses manual chart reviews entirely. The commercial model aligns directly with provider outcomes, charging exclusively per verified care gap closed rather than exacting flat software subscription fees.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that extracts clinical evidence for value-based contract compliance
**Competitors**:
- [Manual Chart Audits](/Competitors/Manual_Chart_Audits)
- [Optum Claims Manager](/Competitors/Optum_Claims_Manager)
- [Innovaccer](/Competitors/Innovaccer)
**Differentiator2x2**: priced per verified care gap closed and fully autonomous in clinical evidence extraction

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 60-day single-location clinic pilot utilizing flat-file EMR ingestion to demonstrate automated extraction for 5 standard HEDIS measures without a single payer audit rejection.
- A 90-day multi-site network ACO rollout utilizing bidirectional FHIR integration to prove a 15 percent net increase in captured care gaps compared to the legacy EMR dashboard baseline.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: >95 percent first-pass acceptance rate for Medicare Advantage supplemental data submissions
- Aim: 80 percent reduction in manual chart audit hours for at-risk primary care networks
- Projected: 15-20 percent increase in successfully closed undocumented care gaps hidden in unstructured progress notes
**Target Case Studies**:
- A regional Medicare Advantage ACO network increases quality performance scores by extracting undocumented care gaps hidden in unstructured clinical progress notes.
- A multi-site primary care practice eliminates manual chart chases and reduces chart audit hours by integrating automated clinical evidence extraction into quality reporting workflows.
- A population health management team secures a >95 percent first-pass acceptance rate from payers by exporting standard supplemental data feeds containing verbatim text and source PDF snippets.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Quality Improvement Director: Validates that the automated extraction logs perfectly match standard payer requirements and eliminate the manual chart chase.
- Chief Medical Officer: Confirms that the verbatim extraction and click-to-verify highlighting resolve fears of AI hallucination and ensure audit readiness.
- Population Health Manager: Expresses relief that Accare successfully reads unstructured notes to prove care delivery instead of simply flagging missing claims data.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Autonomous extraction misinterprets unstructured clinical notes, triggering improper care gap closures and severe Medicare compliance liability. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Major EHR vendors block or heavily toll API access to patient records, severing the clinical data ingestion pipeline. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Cloud compute costs for autonomous clinical extraction exceed the revenue generated under the per-gap-closed pricing model. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Providers refuse to adopt a fully autonomous workflow without human-in-the-loop verification, extending enterprise sales cycles beyond runway. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be a high-performance population health leader, not a spreadsheet-bound auditor
- **Want**: to close HEDIS care gaps without manual chart chases
- **Identity**: The quality director at an at-risk primary care network
**Plan**:
- Step: Upload records · Detail: Provide flat-file or FHIR access to your EMR progress notes and unstructured documentation.
- Step: Check evidence · Detail: Review the verbatim text highlights and source timestamps that prove care was delivered.
- Step: Sync outcomes · Detail: Send verified supplemental data directly to your Medicare Advantage payers to close gaps immediately.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: When a gap appears open in your EMR dashboard despite the physician delivering care, your team is forced into a multi-hour scavenger hunt through unstructured notes.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: The manual chart audit
- **External**: Closing gaps requires clinical teams to spend hundreds of hours copy-pasting progress notes into payer reporting templates or Optum Claims Manager.
- **Internal**: You feel like your highly trained clinicians are being wasted on clerical detective work.
- **Philosophical**: Every clinical team deserves to be judged on the care they provide — not their ability to transcribe PDF notes.
**Success**: Your network achieves a 95% first-pass acceptance rate on quality measures with an 80% reduction in manual audit labor.
**One Liner**: Manual chart auditing costs primary care networks thousands of hours in clinical labor. Accare extracts clinical evidence from unstructured notes so providers close verified care gaps automatically.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: close care gaps using existing clinical notes without manual labor
- **Unlike**: Manual chart audits
- **For Whom**: Quality directors at at-risk primary care networks
- **Category**: Autonomous clinical evidence extraction
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Close a care gap
- **Transitional**: View audit-ready reporting template
**Failure Stakes**:
- Millions in missed quality incentives
- Burnt-out clinical audit staff
- Rejected supplemental data submissions
**Transformation**:
- **To**: free to drive population health strategy, no longer stuck doing the drudgery
- **From**: a quality lead buried in manual chart audits
**Controlling Idea**: Clinical evidence should be extracted automatically to ensure fair value-based reimbursement.
