Why we started Evida
The problem
Clinical quality teams do important work that most people never see. They read charts, find evidence, answer registry measures, prepare submissions, and defend the record when questions come back.
The work has to be right, but the tools around it make that harder than it should be.
Akshaya and Varun saw this firsthand while doing and managing registry workflows at hospitals. A single case could mean moving between the EHR, cath reports, labs, notes, PDFs, registry definitions, spreadsheets, and internal review queues. The answer might be simple, but proving where it came from took time.
Teams were not struggling because they lacked effort. They were working with systems that did not connect the question, the answer, and the source evidence.
The idea
We started Evida because the work deserved a better flow. The first goal was simple: help quality teams find the right evidence, fill the right fields, and always show where each answer came from.
Evida reads the chart, drafts registry answers, and links each answer back to the source document and highlighted text. The reviewer stays in control. They can verify, correct, and submit with a clear audit trail.
We care about the small details because that is where this work lives. Was tobacco use former or never? Was the value documented in the discharge summary or in a procedure note? Is this field truly missing or did it appear under a different name?
Those are the questions that slow teams down every day. Evida is built to make them easier to answer.
What we are focused on
Evida is built for clinical quality, registry, and abstraction teams who carry a lot of responsibility with limited time. Our job is to remove the hunt, not the judgment.
That means fewer tabs, fewer handoffs, and fewer mysteries. It means surfacing missing fields before submission, making source evidence easy to review, and helping teams stay ready for audits.
Akshaya and Varun started Evida from the work they saw up close. We are still building it the same way, close to the people doing the work.
Chart review should not take hours because the evidence is buried.
