Features such as near real-time notifications, cautions, and reminders are embedded into clinical processes to enhance patient safety and quality of care.

Additionally, Flex Clinical Insight provides critical data analysis for evaluating quality of care and operational effectiveness, supporting population-based analytical processing.
