About CliniPaths

Best practice should be the easiest thing to follow

We built CliniPaths to address the persistent gap between clinical knowledge and clinical execution. We help healthcare teams implement best practices, across units, hospitals and professional communities.

Our story

It started with crash carts lining the hallways.

Our founder kept running into the same gap. The evidence existed and the protocols were written, but staff struggled to follow current best practice consistently. Printed algorithms, SOP binders and in-services weren't closing it.

Clinical algorithms should be online, interactive and shareable, available at the moment a decision is made rather than taped to a crash cart. So we built a HIPAA-compliant platform that bridges clinical and administrative workflows. Teams use it for everything from cleaning checklists to complex venous ulcer assessments.

Today those pathways also power explainable AI that answers from your own published content and shows its sources. The goal hasn't changed: less burnout, lower costs and better patient care.

“It was crazy. We had crash carts with printed algorithms and care instructions lining the hallways.”

What we believe

It should be easier to share and implement best practices, so you can take better care of your patients.

Our core focus

Three things we work on every day.

Training

Just-in-time learning that drives behavior change and builds confidence, right where the work happens.

Collaboration

Break down information silos so best practices travel across teams, hospitals and professional societies.

Safer care

Reduce unwarranted variation at the point of care for more consistent, better patient outcomes.

Our team

Clinicians and builders, side by side.

We have worked the floor, run the programs and written the guidelines. That experience shapes every pathway we help you build.
