Health systems deliver life-saving care every day. But when documentation, coding, and denials processes fail to capture the full complexity of that care, they risk losing revenue.
That’s where SmarterDx comes in. Our clinical AI platform helps hospitals and health systems document and defend the care they provide across the entire revenue cycle. We’re privileged to help more than 85 health systems recover millions that would otherwise be left on the table while improving quality scores, strengthening appeals, and streamlining workflows.
It’s revenue that can be reinvested into better care for the communities they serve. That's why we're here.
Tell the most accurate and complete patient story to optimize the way the healthcare system works for everyone.
Build technology to transform data and understand clinical reasoning with proprietary AI to true the patient record.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
