Meet the team
The Cortex team is driven to assist post-acute providers in their mission to care for patients. We are originally known for making follow-up calls to patients after discharge from the hospital. Since that time we have become a full-featured software platform for post-acute providers, sitting alongside the EHR to generate opportunities for positive healthcare outcomes.
