Audacious Inquiry (Ai) is a health information technology company providing cloud-based software to enable secure exchange of actionable data among healthcare organizations. The company also delivers IT consulting and advisory services to advance healthcare interoperability and public health.[1][2]
Audacious Inquiry assisted Johns Hopkins Medicine, University of Maryland Medical System, MedStar Health, Erickson Living, and the Maryland Department of Health in the establishment of Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP), a health information exchange.[3] The firm developed the Encounter Notification Service, an event-driven model for standards-based health information exchange, in partnership with CRISP. The firm now supports or directly operates similar, "connected healthcare" efforts in several other US states and regions.[4][5]
The firm developed the Patient Unified Lookup System for Emergencies (PULSE) and now partners with the Sequoia Project to enable it as a nationwide disaster response solution.[6] In 2017 and 2018, providers used PULSE during the California wildfires.[7][8]
Audacious Inquiry is a certified B Corporation.[9] [10] In 2017, it received outside investment from ABS Capital Partners.[11] [12] The company 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.[13]
