About Research Doc

Research Doc is an independent research publication covering clinical AI tools, ambient scribes, prior authorization platforms, revenue cycle management AI, and other healthcare technology. Our mission is to give clinicians, IT leaders, and operators evidence-based comparisons that cut through vendor marketing.

Editorial methodology

Research Doc operates on an editorial-AI byline model. Articles are drafted by our editorial AI system and then reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to our editorial standards by a named human editor before publication. Every published article identifies the reviewing editor and the date of review.

We disclose this model openly because it is the most honest way to run a research publication at our scale. AI drafting lets us cover hundreds of comparisons across the healthcare-AI landscape; human editorial review is what makes those comparisons trustworthy.

What we evaluate

• Comparison pages rate two tools head-to-head across 5–8 editorial dimensions, with a final verdict (winner + confidence) and full pros / cons / recommendation.
• Category guides rank 3–10 leading tools in a category on a 1–10 score, with strengths, limitations, and buyer-segment guidance.
• Hand-written research articles address single questions in depth (citations, business models, enterprise licensing, etc.) and include external authoritative references.

Scoring rubric

Tools are scored on the following dimensions where applicable: clinical evidence base, citation transparency, HIPAA compliance, EHR integration depth, enterprise readiness, pricing transparency, and editorial review of customer outcomes. Where a vendor declines to disclose pricing or evidence, we say so.

Sources we trust

Where original research articles cite external evidence, we prefer primary sources: peer-reviewed journals (JAMA, NEJM, BMJ), federal agencies (FDA, NIH/NLM, CMS, ONC), and recognized standards bodies. Vendor-published case studies are noted as such when used.

Conflicts of interest & disclosures

Research Doc receives no payment from the vendors we cover. We do not accept paid placements or “sponsored” comparisons. Where any commercial relationship exists with a vendor, it is disclosed in the affected article.
