better outcomes Making the Best Decisions Possible The world of healthcare is evolving rapidly. Every day there are new discoveries being made, new techniques being validated and new information being delivered that can help generate better outcomes.

Quantros Decision Support Assist (DS Assist) addresses these issues. The platform integrates with your Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Patient Health Record (PHR) systems and delivers contextsensitive decision support such as diagnosis-specific links, therapeutic suggestions and health assessment calculators.
