Pulsar: FHIR-Based Clinical Outcomes Engine for Value-Based Care

Details

Pulsar is described as an electronic clinical quality measure engine designed specifically to be FHIR-first. It targets providers and value-based care organizations by shortening the path from raw clinical data to actionable, prioritized insights. Unlike traditional methods that rely on stale gap lists or checkbox metrics, Pulsar ranks improvement work based on its potential outcome impact. The system measures run directly on real clinical data, minimizing manual retrieval efforts. Its design is highly relevant to current industry trends, particularly the shift by NCQA toward fully digital reporting (by 2030), with logic published in FHIR and CQL. Pulsar is positioned as a digitally native solution laying the foundation for future NCQA certification. For clinical leadership, it provides prioritized, clinically grounded insights tied to real patients, respecting physician time. It supports building the foundational infrastructure necessary for secure payer-provider data exchange. The platform emphasizes moving beyond mere compliance checks toward actionable improvements that impact shared savings and patient outcomes. ClearStars is currently accepting applications for a pilot cohort.
