Curbside Health is the modern decision support software designed
to help health systems and clinical practices reduce unwanted
clinical variation, thereby improving health equity and clinical
excellence for all patients. Curbside provides healthcare
organizations with the resources and tools to quickly and easily
build a library of world-class clinical content customized to their
location, operations, and patient populations. Clinical decision
support content includes clinical guidelines, clinical pathways,
protocols, policies, algorithms, clinical calculators and more. The
content is accessible through a secure web application, mobile
application, and through integration directly into the electronic

Curbside Health Co-Founder Eric Leroux, MD, MBA, shared that
“...for nearly 150 years, OSF HealthCare has served its community
with a commitment to care and innovation. Curbside is delighted to
support the mission of OSF by providing state-of-the-art digital
technologies for decision support and clinical guideline
optimization.”
Curbside Health is reshaping modern healthcare by providing a
platform that seamlessly strengthens the connection between
organizational best practices and the point-of-care decisions that
determine patient outcomes. Additionally, the company believes that
by sharing clinical logic, the medical community can create and
implement clinical best practices for a better quality of care for
everyone. Curbside therefore helps connect health systems to one
another through a digital exchange where they can choose to easily
share their clinical guidelines, pathways, or clinical logic while
still enabling a fully customized library.
