Audacious Inquiry (Ai) is a health information technology company providing cloud-based software and services to facilitate the secure exchange of actionable data among healthcare healthcare providers and administrators. The company also delivers healthcare IT consulting and advisory services to advance healthcare interoperability.
Audacious Inquiry assisted Johns Hopkins Medicine, University of Maryland Medical System, MedStar Health, Erickson Retirement Communities, and the Maryland Department of Health in the establishment of Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP), which is widely considered one of the most successful health information exchange organizations in the country. [1] Ai developed the Encounter Notification Service, an event-driven model for standards-based health information exchange, in partnership with CRISP. Ai now supports or directly operates similar, "connected healthcare" efforts in several other states and regions.
Audacious Inquiry developed the Patient Unified Lookup System for Emergencies (PULSE) and now partners with the Sequoia Project to enable PULSE as a nationwide disaster response solution.[2] In 2017 and 2018, providers used PULSE during the California wildfires.[3]
In 2017, Ai received outside investment from ABS Capital Partners. [4]
Audacious Inquiry is a certified B Corporation.[5] Ai graduated from the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship, and the company is headquartered in the BWtech Research Park on the campus of University of Maryland, Baltimore County. [6]
