SMART decision support enablement

Design, deploy, and manage Smart Applications for Clinical Decision Support

Pontegra helps healthcare organizations deliver clinical decision support (e.g. guideline-based recommendations) through easily deployable modules that work as part of real clinical workflows, not in isolated dashboards.

We enable this by supporting the development of SMART-on-FHIR applications and CDS Hooks–compliant services that integrate directly with EHR systems.

Powered by: KronIQ (integrated care pathways) + onfhir-cds (CDS services) + Repofyr (FHIR repository/API) + Ignifyr (HL7 FHIR® integration).

Transforming Clinical Data into Actionable Guidance

Clinician-facing SMART apps

To support clinicians with:

  • Task-focused workflows (e.g. screening and monitoring diseases based on clinical guideline recommendations)
  • Risk assessment and delivery of preventive care recommendations
  • Shared care plan views and guided care plan updates (e.g. referrals, laboratory orders, medication updates)

Patient empowerment experiences with smart engagement strategies

Patient-facing SMART applications to engage and guide patients through:

  • Symptom reporting
  • Self-monitoring
  • Care plan adherence
  • Collection of patient-reported outcomes

Bridging the Gap Between Clinical Logic and EHR Workflows

Easily build CDS services following the CDS Hooks standard to deliver guidance at the right moment

We accelerate the development of CDS services so your teams can focus on clinical logic rather than boilerplate code. We provide libraries and a management environment that enable the following:

  • Triggering suggestions through clinical workflow events implemented as CDS Hooks
  • Handling CDS Hooks requests and retrieving patient data as contextual input to deliver fast, personalized recommendations
  • Configuring rules and content for easy adaptation across sites and regions
  • Managing templated and localizable CDS card generation to deliver context-relevant recommendations
  • Implementing feedback endpoints for CDS modules to support continuous improvement through human-in-the-loop mechanisms
  • Using deployment-ready patterns for authentication and secure integration with EHRs, following SMART on FHIR guidelines

Easily Integrate AI-enabled decision support for prediction and simulation within clinical workflow

Many organizations are building predictive models such as risk scores, deterioration prediction, and readmission risk, but struggle to operationalize them safely and effectively inside the EHR. Complex decision support and AI models often require multiple inputs and configuration parameters, which creates additional challenges for reliable EHR integration.

Pontegra enables the integration of AI capabilities into clinical workflows by wrapping prediction and simulation services as governed decision support services that can be easily integrated with EHRs.

AI prediction integration (risk scoring)

  • Extract input parameters from EHRs via secure FHIR based data pipelines
  • Invoke a model service to generate risk scores or predicted outcomes
  • Return results seamlessly within the EHR via CDS Hooks cards and/or SMART applications
  • Capture “why this fired” with traceable context (model version, timestamp, input summary)
  • Expose simulation services (e.g., projected outcomes under different interventions) through controlled interfaces
  • Present outputs as actionable guidance linked to care pathways and clinical guidelines, rather than opaque scores

Governance-minded operationalization

  • Log and trace every model invocation
  • Support review and iteration through feedback capture, rule tuning, and threshold calibration
  • Enable site-specific configuration and language localization

Engineering Reliability into Every Decision

Configurable content and localization

  • Site-specific medical terminologies, thresholds, and care pathways
  • Multilingual content templates with consistent rendering of guidance

Secure operations patterns

  • Controlled access to FHIR data sources via Smart on FHIR standard
  • Safe output patterns using CDS Hooks card templates and audit-friendly event logging
  • Compatibility with secure and restricted environments (e.g. SPE and TRE-style deployments)

Feedback loops to improve quality

  • Track when guidance is shown, accepted, dismissed, or overridden by practitioners
  • Feed insights back into rule tuning, pathway refinement, and model recalibration

Target Environments for Intelligent Care

Hospitals and EHR programs

  • Embedded decision support for clinical guideline adherence, predictive risk assessments, and clinical guidance
  • Structured follow-up pathways (e.g., diabetes monitoring, hypertension screening)

National / regional digital health programs

  • Configurable care pathway standardization, automation and localization
  • Consistent clinical guideline adherence

AI teams who need clinical adoption

  • Integration of models into daily clinical workflows, not isolated AI environments
  • Controlled deployment patterns with traceability and governance
