What is Frontida?

What is Frontida?

Frontida is a nonprofit that builds customizable, cloud-based health documentation tools for health providers and patients in low-resource, rural, and developing communities. Our systems are streamlined and customized to meet these medical clinics’ highly specific and often fluctuating needs, helping physicians provide critical care in some of the world’s most challenging medical environments.

Why choose Frontida?

Why choose Frontida?

Designed for you: Frontida is designed specifically for medical clinics working with limited resources. We have simplified and optimized our electronic health record to make it as quick and easy as possible to input data in minutes so you can focus on treating your patients. Frontida is not built around insurance or billing purposes—we are centered around the patient. We focus on improving patient outcomes and making providers’ lives easier, contributing to our seamless and user-friendly interfaces that cut out any unnecessary fields.

Priced for you: Our goal is to make health documentation accessible to all, which is why we keep our prices low. In some cases, we also offer scholarships you can apply to in order to cover your costs.

Customized with you: Frontida is an agile system and is made up of a series of forms and modules. You can pick the forms you need to best run your clinic from our selection, or you can ask us to customize new features tailored to your needs. Because we utilize a low-code toolset, we can rapidly develop custom systems and incorporate your feedback at low costs. We can also translate Frontida into most other languages.

As the world quickly progresses to data-driven operations, we want to ensure that organizations serving low-resource, rural, and developing communities are not left behind. Data-driven organizations are less prone to miscommunication and can provide more consistent care. On an infrastructural level, Frontida’s EHR frees up physical space from paper records, ensures security of records from natural disasters, and enables organizations to use administrative data to reallocate funding and resources. Digitizing processes gives you the opportunity to remotely make changes on the ground in real-time, while monitoring and assessing performance.

A major reality of low-resource settings is that providers may be in short supply or pressed for time with patients. Paper-records are cumbersome, unreliable, and often redundant, especially when retrieving a patient’s history. In removing these difficulties, Frontida’s EHR allows providers and clinicians to streamline their care and do what they do best: care for their patients. Clinicians can organize data by patient, date, and form, enabling them to provide more accurate care both faster and more confidently.

The data collected allows you and your providers to make evidence-based decisions about a patient’s care and ultimately improve patient outcomes, while improving overall clinic efficiency. Data allows an organization to analyze trends, assess clinic performance, allocate resources/funding, and build trust with donors and partners by providing data-driven proof of their work. Ask our team; we are committed to seeing that your needs are met.

The task of transitioning from paper-based to electronic records is a major transformational effort, which is why Frontida offers two structured approaches for testing an organizations’ readiness for electronic health record adoption.

‍First: We offer an EHR Readiness Assessment Tool to evaluate the readiness level of an organization—contact us at team@frontidarecords.org and we can share this with you.

‍Second: We offer pilot programs, which allow a safe and low-risk testing environment for you to test Frontida with your patients and providers at a small scale, usually with one or two forms, before committing to full implementation.
