Most hospitals do the work twice
First you ask staff to follow the procedure. Then, months later, you ask someone else to audit whether they did. Clinical Branches makes those the same act. The decision your clinician makes at 3am is the evidence your accreditation team presents in October.
01 Procedures into pathways and rules
Three ways to get a pathway, and you can mix them freely:
- Build it. Upload your own PDF of a procedure or guideline, and AI drafts the branches and endpoints, along with the decision support hints that run off them.
- Subscribe to a peer. Take a pathway another health service has already built and validated.
- Use platform core content. Expert-maintained pathways, kept current for you.
Whichever route, your governance team reviews and publishes.
02 Decisions at the bedside
Web and native mobile, working offline when the network does not. Dosing calculators and approval codes sit inside the flow rather than in another tab.
Safe, structured, fast decisions are made by ensuring all key questions are asked for the scenario being managed. Clinical staff feel safer, and can access information faster from anywhere with average pathway completion time at 48.1 seconds.
Real time therapy change hints are driven by the pathway answers themselves: creatinine spikes, nephrotoxin combinations, known issues with management against pathway responses. They surface on the clinical review list, prioritised, for the team doing the reviewing.
03 Trends tied to outcomes
Selections aggregate. Which branches are being taken, how that is shifting, and which of them lead to better patient outcomes, across the service and over time. Rolling audit runs inside the workflow rather than as a subjective annual campaign.
This is a picture of how the process is performing, tied to service level improvement. The prioritised review list points to patients who need attention, not to staff who need watching.
04 Evidence and benchmarking
Evidence mapped to the accreditation standards you report against, wherever you are, plus KPI dashboards built from real pathway decisions and clinician hint feedback rather than ad-hoc sampled audits.
OPT IN Compare results with your peer services when both parties opt in. Your data stays yours unless you choose to share it.
The loop runs on any procedure you put into it. Our strongest evidence so far comes from antimicrobial prescribing, where the pressure on both decision quality and accreditation evidence is highest.
One platform, three very different wins
The people who use it and the people who fund it want different things. Clinical Branches is built so nobody has to compromise.
ON THE WARD
It does not slow the round down
The right answer for this patient in 48 seconds, on the phone in your pocket. Calculations done, approval code generated, nothing to write up afterwards.
IN MEDICATION STEWARDSHIP
Audit as a by-product of practice
Rolling audit runs inside the workflow rather than as an annual campaign, prioritised review lists are driven by automated therapy change prompts, and accreditation evidence accrues from routine use. How much effort that removes is something your service can measure for itself.
IN THE EXECUTIVE SUITE
You can finally see practice
Where your service decides differently from its peers, which procedures are actually being followed, and what to prioritise. Low-cost cloud, ISO certified, TGA registration underway, deployable on-premises.
What an independent evaluation found
Not our own pilot data. A controlled study, run by a university that does not work for us.
20.8 pts
Prescribing appropriateness
Observed where the platform was adopted, against comparison hospitals in the evaluation's balanced sample.
21.8 pts
Guideline compliance
A fully staffed hospital stewardship programme averages about 15 points. This is the same gain without the headcount.
3,917
Audited prescriptions
Compared across three adopter and five non-adopter hospitals, alongside usage data from 68 health services and 30 clinician interviews.
What the clinicians in the study said
Quoted from the evaluation's clinician interviews. Participants are anonymised by the study. Square brackets replace the local deployment name.
At nighttime when you are dealing with a deteriorating patient, being able to get onto [Clinical Branches] and figure out how to broaden cover to cover sepsis with unknown origin or something is extremely, extremely helpful.
I just use it for everything. Being in my 41st year of practice, I forget things far more than I did when I was younger. And also antibiotic guidelines change all the time, so I don't trust that what I did yesterday is the same as today's recommendations.
[Clinical Branches] is targeted against you making a right antibiotic choice, and it cuts down on a lot of the extra waffle around that.
Independent evaluation by the University of Technology Sydney Centre for Health Economics Research and Evaluation, funded by the Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre (DHCRC-0248), in partnership with the WA Country Health Service. Two-way fixed effects difference-in-differences against non-adopter hospitals, adjusted for patient case mix, workforce composition, hospital characteristics and time trends. The prescribing quality estimates come from the evaluation's balanced sample of three adopter and five non-adopter hospitals, and describe an effect observed where the platform was adopted. Stewardship programme comparator: Davey P et al, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2017, CD003543. See the DHCRC project announcement.
Two things the evaluation kept coming back to
It is local, and that is the difference
Regional antibiograms, local resistance patterns and rural-specific advice are built into the pathway. Participants named this as the single feature separating it from national guidelines.
Enablement, not restriction
Clinicians described a tool that helps them reach the right choice faster, not one that makes them justify a choice already made. It supports clinical judgement rather than replacing it.
What clinicians say
Clinical Branches gives us line of sight into which patients need us most. It helps us deliver smarter care, not just more care.
John and his team have been great to work with. They're incredibly responsive and easy to deal with, bringing changes online rapidly. They're fantastic to work with on customisations specific to our clinical needs.

I have worked with John for three years developing and refining an electronic web-page based antibiotic approval system for the general hospital I work for. The process has been stress free, professional and the end product has been excellent. I highly recommend his team for your healthcare project.

Everything that runs on the loop
One platform, not four procurement exercises
AI-Assisted Pathway Builder
Upload a procedure, get a draft pathway. Drag-and-drop refinement, versioning and a review and publish workflow your governance team controls.
Web and Mobile Decision Support
The same pathways on the ward computer and on a native iOS or Android app, with calculators and approval codes built in.
Therapy Change Prompts
Automated clinical hints for creatinine spikes, nephrotoxin combinations, IV to oral switch and more, ranked so the highest-risk patient surfaces first.
Benchmarking and Evidence
Opt-in practice variation heat maps across peer services, evidence mapped to your accreditation standards wherever you operate, and KPI dashboards built from real decisions rather than samples.
And more beyond the loop
Specialist modules that plug into the same platform, so you are not standing up another system to get them.
Bayesian Vancomycin AUC Calculator Free
Precision AUC dosing from Bayesian inference, included in every plan including Freeware.
Formulary Manager
Your formulary with restriction rules, scope of practice and a patient use approval system.
Safe Medicines Module
Generate and share MMPs, and surface medication risks at history taking.
