IT, compliance, and procurement — answered fast, because slow answers stall deals.
ARKA helps hospital systems turn avoidable advanced-imaging denials into clean, paid claims — cutting denial write-offs on their highest-margin service line by up to 30–40% by documenting medical necessity at the point of order and running the same appropriateness check on the payer side — recovering ~$3.5M/yr for a mid-sized system, without adding headcount.

Read moreARKA is built on standard CDS Hooks and SMART on FHIR and is designed to integrate with Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), and athenahealth after customer-specific validation in your non-production environment. Your EHR team registers ARKA; we consume structured FHIR from the order-select prefetch bundle — no image pixels, no bulk PHI export.
Read moreA typical single-department pilot needs an EHR integration analyst (~20–40 hours), a security or privacy reviewer (~8–12 hours), a clinical champion (~4–8 hours), and optionally a rev-cycle lead (~2–4 hours) — not a dedicated project squad.
Read moreFull deactivation is a configuration change — deregister the CDS Hooks service and SMART on FHIR app entries with ARKA on the line; no order sets or clinical content to rebuild, with a documented rollback runbook and assisted rollback SLA before go-live. If ARKA is unreachable, the EHR proceeds exactly as before: no cards render and no orders are delayed or blocked.
