AI Chat With Clinical Evidence, Right in Your Freed Workflow

Table of Contents

There's always another question. A tapering schedule. A screening tool you interpret twice a year. A guideline that moved since you last checked.

Most of the time you go looking for the answer outside the note. A browser tab, a separate app, a quick ChatGPT query. Patient context moves out of the HIPAA boundary, and you lose the thread of the visit trying to find it again.

Freed keeps the question where the work already is.

Freed’s clinical decision support feature showing evidence-based heart failure treatment recommendations with linked medical sources and AI-generated follow-up questions.

One AI Chat panel, three kinds of asks

AI Chat is the panel on the right side of every visit in Freed. It's always open, it already understands the patient and the note in front of it, and it takes plain language. There's no syntax to learn.

Clinicians use it three ways.

  • Ask a clinical question. "What's the recommended venlafaxine tapering regimen for this patient?" You get Clinical Evidence: an answer drawn from 50+ trusted medical sources, with linked citations you can open and read. This is the one clinicians reach for most, and the rest of this post is about it.
  • Tell it to change the note. "Separate the Assessment and Plan by diagnosis." "Tighten the HPI." "Change every instance of patient to client." AI Chat edits the note you're already looking at. You can dictate the change instead of typing it.
  • Ask for help using Freed. "How do I build a template for annual physicals?" "Why didn't this note push to my EHR?" Same box, no ticket, no leaving the visit.

What Clinical Evidence is

Ask a clinical question in AI Chat and Freed answers from a curated library of more than 50 trusted medical sources, including PubMed, federal clinical guidance, specialty society guidelines, and leading peer-reviewed journals. Every answer links to its sources, so you can check the basis for yourself.

The answer is shaped by the patient in front of you. Freed already has the visit and the note, so a pediatrician asking about weight-based dosing gets an answer that accounts for this patient's weight. A psychiatrist asking about a taper gets an answer shaped by what's already documented. You're not starting from a blank search box.

Freed surfaces the evidence. The judgment, and every decision that follows, is yours.

How it works

  • Ask in plain language. Open the AI Chat panel and type the question the way you'd ask a colleague down the hall. Freed comes back with a cited answer, usually in well under a minute.
  • Grounded in this patient. A standalone reference tool starts cold. Clinical Evidence reads from the visit: history, medications mentioned, what came up today. Anything you add later contributes to the next answer.
  • A library governed by clinicians. Answers come only from Freed's whitelist of vetted sources. No open web, no ads, no sponsored placement. Practicing clinicians decide which sources are in scope and continuously evaluate the answers that come back.
  • PHI stays inside Freed. Freed removes patient-identifying information before any external query. PHI never leaves Freed's HIPAA-compliant environment.

Clinical Evidence vs. other reference tools

Many clinicians reach for Open Evidence, UpToDate, or a general-purpose AI tool like ChatGPT when a question comes up.

Category Freed Clinical Evidence Open Evidence UpToDate Generic ChatGPT
Patient context Grounded in the specific patient's visit data Manual entry, except in a small number of enterprise EHR pilots (e.g. Mount Sinai, Cedars-Sinai) that aren't broadly available Manual lookup only Requires pasting PHI into the prompt, or carefully removing it before copying
Medical sources 50+ vetted sources across federal guidance, specialty societies, and peer-reviewed literature Peer-reviewed journals and literature Editorial content, physician-authored Open web, not curated for clinical use
PHI protection Patient identifiers removed, PHI stays within the HIPAA boundary Signs a BAA and is HIPAA-compliant, PHI protection depends on the user's own compliance setup No patient data entered PHI leaves the HIPAA boundary
Citations Linked citation on every answer Linked citations Editorial references No verified citations
Advertising None, no sponsored content in answers Pharma-sponsored ads embedded in search results (rolled out in 2026) None N/A
Workflow integration Built into the note you're already writing Separate app, Epic integration limited to select health systems Separate subscription and interface Separate tool
Built for Independent practices and clinics, solo to multi-site Individual clinicians, plus enterprise health systems Health systems and enterprise libraries General purpose
What else you get An AI scribe that also handles coding, visit prep, letters, and the front desk, with live human support Clinical Q&A, very basic scribe, telehealth calls Reference content plus "Expert AI" conversational search General-purpose chat only
