FOAM Cortex now supports clinical calculators inside the answer workflow — with interpretation, caveats, and cited context alongside the answer. Starting with ED-heavy tools: PE, chest pain, trauma, sepsis, neuro, tox, and more. foamcortex.com

Most operational updates already move by email.
With FOAM Cortex Smart Inbox, an ED director or ops lead can add a dedicated FOAM Cortex address to the existing mailing list.
Relevant attachments and updates get captured, indexed, and searchable — without a new workflow.

Every ED has local knowledge scattered across PDFs, emails, pathways, and shared drives.
FOAM Cortex for Institutions brings it into a governed, source-backed clinical assistant: site routing, source controls, user management, audit trails.

Not every FOAM Cortex query is the same, your questions now get routed based on complexity - a simple dosing question returns a response in seconds while more complex queries synthesize a more comprehensive response.

Don't treat this every day? Neither do I. It served up the specific induction/consolidation dosing immediately.

The best part? It cites its sources (links directly to the FOAMed articles). No black box.
If you work in EM, Critical Care, or Urgent Care, give it a spin on your next shift.
