EvidenceCare Marks 10 Years of Physician-Led Care Decisions

The physician-built platform focused on helping physicians deliver better care to their patients and helping hospitals improve their margins.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This year, EvidenceCare, a physician-founded clinical performance improvement company, marks 10 years of putting evidence into physician workflows nationwide. The company will mark the milestone at Nashville Health Care Council (NHCC) Sessions in Nashville this September, where CEO Bo Bartholomew will discuss the anniversary and EvidenceCare's approach to AI heading into what's next.

Over the past decade, EvidenceCare's BetterCare Platform has grown to support over 30 health systems and hundreds of hospitals, integrating into Epic, Oracle Cerner, and Meditech, informing millions of decisions. Over the past two years, its solutions have generated more than $100 million annually in revenue capture and cost savings for clients.

"Ten years in, the results speak for themselves. Health systems are tired of point solutions that overpromise and underdeliver. Our job has been to prove that better clinical decisions and healthy margins aren't a trade-off, and that when you put the two together, doctors, patients, and health systems win," said Bo Bartholomew, CEO of EvidenceCare.

EvidenceCare traces its origin to a moment co-founder Dr. Brian Fengler experienced while working overnight at an emergency room in Nashville. Despite having authored the evidence-based treatment protocol on the management of patients with pulmonary embolism in the emergency department, he was at a loss when a patient who was 36 weeks pregnant arrived with a massive pulmonary embolism. He knew what she needed but not how it would affect her unborn baby, with no fast way to find out. The treatment worked and the patient's baby was unharmed, but the gap it exposed, and closing it without removing physician judgment, are the threads running through everything EvidenceCare has built since.

The company began with clinical pathways built with medical societies in emergency medicine, urgent care, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and oncology, and has since grown into the BetterCare Platform:

• AdmissionCare® - real-time bed status guidance and medical necessity documentation at admission
  
  
• CareGauge® - added in 2021 through the acquisition of Healthcare Value Analytics; real-time visibility into care utilization and cost
  
  
• CareInsights™ - added in 2025 through the acquisition of Agathos; peer-benchmarked clinical performance improvement delivered to physicians

Every product runs on the same principle: the right information, at the moment of decision.

With its headquarters in Nashville, a prominent part of EvidenceCare's growth has been the Nashville Health Care Council's Fellows program, whose network shaped many of the relationships and much of the industry knowledge behind the company.

A more recent marker of growth is EvidenceCare's utilization of artificial intelligence. As an AI-enabled company, its solutions continue to evolve with the right infrastructure and governance to manage AI, with a human always in the loop.

"When we started, the idea was simple: give physicians the right information at the moment they're deciding what's best for a patient," said Dr. Brian Fengler, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of EvidenceCare.

"Ten years later, watching physicians use our tools to make better care decisions for their patients every day is what I'm proudest of."
