Healthwise is a non-profit organization founded in 1975 with the mission to help people make better health decisions. It develops and delivers unbiased, evidence-based, and easy-to-understand health content and software to hospitals, health systems, health plans, and care management companies.
The core offering, often referred to as Healthwise for Digital Experiences or Healthwise Compass, is a Content-as-a-Service (CaaS) solution. This solution allows enterprise organizations to seamlessly integrate a vast multimedia library of health content directly into their websites, mobile apps, and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems like Epic, Cerner, and Allscripts.
Key features include a comprehensive health encyclopedia, interactive tools, a symptom checker, and thousands of articles and videos in multiple languages. The software is designed to deliver patient-specific education from within the clinical workflow (Point of Care) and track patient activity/engagement data. This engagement data is reported back to clinicians, enabling more tailored care and better-informed clinical decisions. By empowering patients to take an active role in their care, Healthwise aims to improve health outcomes and increase member engagement for its enterprise clients.
