C8 Health vs Regard
Regard's demo animation shows Epic over FHIR R4, its page says it works regardless of which EHR a hospital runs, and it holds an ONC Health IT certification under the 2015 Cures Update criteria dated May 2, 2024. The vendor says it reviews 100% of the chart, recommends diagnoses with evidence and requires physician approval. Banner Health, Main Line Health and WakeMed appear as customers on its homepage. Regard sells Mid-Revenue Cycle and HCC Capture solutions, so revenue-cycle and finance buyers figure in its sales, and its vendor-reported case studies are about revenue, such as Sentara's 17% rise in CC/MCC capture.
C8 Health's homepage names no EHR and says integration needs a light lift from internal IT. It states SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance. The vendor describes protocols, performance feedback and an assistant limited to vetted content for hospital clinicians and their leaders. Regard reports denials prevented and diagnoses captured, and C8 reports protocol compliance.
