A lot to track. One place to follow through.

Across 180+ assessment questions, answers are only the start. Keep the owner, supporting records, and next step with each requirement. Your list depends on the programs that apply to your hospital.

Know what changed

Compare saved answers year to year. Review what still holds and what needs updating.

See where to focus

Review known gaps, missing evidence, and possible consequences. Give each action an owner and a target date.

Learn from the public record

Review available CMS results alongside your records. A published price-transparency penalty is different from a warning or a request for a corrective action plan.

For hospital quality teams

Hospital compliance documentation, organized.

AuditCare helps hospital quality teams track requirements, maintain supporting documentation, and identify gaps before reporting deadlines and surveys.

Professional · $5,000 / facility / year

From scattered follow-ups to a reviewable record

For hospital quality teams coordinating reporting requirements across people and departments. Start with a free scan. Professional adds evidence files and reports to share for review.

Strong fit

  • Answers live across spreadsheets, shared drives, and email
  • Quality must chase evidence and owners across departments
  • Prior-cycle work is hard to verify or reuse

Not the right fit

  • You need AuditCare to submit directly into CMS or NHSN
  • You need an EHR integration or live portal ingestion today
  • You only need policy templates, not a tracking workflow

Apiary Labs builds AuditCare: hospital attestation and survey-readiness evidence (Age-Friendly, PSSM, Maternal + DACA first).

How it works

Review a requirement. Record the answer and available supporting documentation. Identify gaps and assign follow-up where available. Revisit prior-cycle work and confirm what still applies. AuditCare helps organize the review; documentation alone does not establish compliance. Your team remains responsible for validating answers and submitting through the appropriate program.

Deadlines leave little time to chase missing evidence

Prepare before the reporting window: identify documentation gaps, coordinate follow-up, and review the records your team will need.

Mark as submitted

Record your CMS submission to create an audit trail.

Assign domains to colleagues

Each colleague receives a private link to answer only their assigned domains. Their answers merge into your assessment.

⚠ Review before sending. AI draft from your assessment. Do not paste patient names, MRNs, or clinical record content. You know stakeholders and context better than the model.

Mark gap as closed

Closing a gap requires an accountable owner on record. This creates an audit-defensible closure entry.
