eCART vs Avo

Epic, athenahealth and MEDITECH are the EHRs Avo's press release names among others, and its homepage says it can be layered on top of any EHR. That suits a health system that wants to author its own guideline logic without code and have it embedded in the chart. Avo also lists chart assistants and an ambient scribe as products, and it sells by demo.

AgileMD pairs Clinical Pathways, with order entry from a pathway, calculators and generated documentation, with eCART, an FDA-cleared early warning score for hospitalized ward patients. Its homepage promises native EHR workflows and names no EHR, while Avo's release puts MEDITECH in writing, so a community hospital on MEDITECH that wants pathway order sets inside the chart finds its EHR named in Avo's materials and not in AgileMD's. A hospital whose first need is ward deterioration scoring is AgileMD's buyer, because only AgileMD lists a cleared deterioration score, K233253, and Avo's homepage and release make no FDA claim for its decision support, chart assistants, scribe or chatbot.
