About Cortex

Cortex is driven to assist post-acute providers in their mission to care for patients. Founded in 2015 by Riley Adamson, we were 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.

Cortex Cares

Positive Health Outcomes

Great clinical outcomes, patient experience, and employee retention are necessary to exist as a modern post-acute provider. Our software enables post-acute providers to impress network partners with these improved outcomes and identifies past patients with new care needs.
