Aligned with CMS Rural Health Transformation Program

Closing the Rural Health Gap,One Visit at a Time.

CHADIS helps rural providers automate behavioral, developmental, and health screening as well as documentation before the visit (including televisits), giving care teams the data, decision support, documentation, and follow-up tools to deliver comprehensive care without adding staff - which reduces clinician and staff burnout.

The Rural Health Challenge

Rural providers are being asked to do more with less.

Rural care teams are carrying an impossible burden. Provider-to-patient ratios are often far worse than in urban areas, many rural counties lack access to mental health clinicians, and patients may travel 50+ miles for specialty referrals they often never complete.

At the same time, practices are expected to identify behavioral health needs, developmental delays, social needs, chronic disease risk, and referral gaps during short visits with limited staffing support.

Rural Health Pressure Points

Provider-to-patient ratios 3–5× worse than urban areas
Up to 80% of rural counties lack child specialists (e.g. psychiatrists)
Only 20–40% of rural well-child visits include behavioral health screening
Patients may travel 50+ miles for specialist referrals, and many never complete them
Documentation burden contributes to burnout and turnover
Missed early intervention windows lead to worse, more costly outcomes

How CHADIS Helps

CHADIS extends rural care capacity before the visit begins.

CHADIS moves screening, scoring, documentation support, and care guidance upstream. Patients and families complete validated questionnaires before the visit on any device. Providers receive automatically scored results, risk flags, clinical summaries, interpretive notes to support billing, option for pre-visit editable encounter notes, decision support, education resources, as well as referral workflows built directly at the point of care. Pre-visit data, carepathways and optional decision support provides assurance that guidelines are being followed.

Rural teams identify needs earlier, act more confidently during the visit, reduce documentation burden, and support population health reporting without adding staff.

Core Platform Capabilities

One platform across screening, decision support, coordination, reporting, and better reimbursement.

Pre-Visit Automated Screening

Patients complete validated tools before the visit on any device — Pre-visit data for almost every type of visit: acute care, follow-up problem visits, well visits for all ages, developmental, behavioral health, social needs, maternal mental health, and chronic risk. All the tools needed for child and adult care are delivered outside of visit time for tele or in-person care. A comprehensive list of those tools can be found here.

Automated Documentation

Patient entered data writes editable encounter notes for acute, chronic, well care, and behavioral health visits.

Clinical Decision Support

Providers receive instant summaries, risk flags, evidence-based guidance, and automatically assigned patient education materials at the moment of care — with no added documentation time.

Referral & Care Coordination

Electronic care plan generation, referral tracking, task workflows, and follow-up coordination help close the loop in communities where care fragmentation is severe. The Behavioral Health Navigator service relieves staff effort.

Population Health Analytics

Aggregate dashboards track screening completion, quality metrics, patient needs, and outcomes — supporting value-based care, HEDIS metrics, and RHT grant reporting.

Measurable Outcomes

Designed for measurable impact within 12 months.

By moving screening and decision support before the visit, CHADIS helps rural care teams act earlier, document more efficiently, and generate the data needed to support quality improvement and grant reporting.

CHADIS was uniquely supported by NIH to create care pathways with both guideline and evidence-based outcomes. No other platform has demonstrated randomized control trial evidence for improved outcomes. Outcome or monitoring questionnaires can be scheduled for completion after the visit. CHADIS is the only health IT platform certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties to provide the required Maintenance of Certification (MOC-4) for all specialties and PAs. This engages providers and provides quality improvement data.

“CHADIS has been my most treasured preventative and behavioral health tool and I feel compelled to share my experience whenever possible. The pediatrician's commitment to best preventative care and screenings is undermined by the low reimbursements and lack of intervention support. I believe CHADIS is a great solution to such challenges once understood in a workflow and business context. We showed a 3:1 ROI in our practice.”
