Solution for Healthcare
Forty guidelines, one comparison.
Guidance is written to be complete rather than comparable. The same recommendation is a numbered bullet in one document and a paragraph in the next, and the question you have is almost always across the set. Ragextract reads them once and returns the comparison, with every answer citing the section it came from so it can be checked against the source.

A table to check against, not a table to trust.
This is a reading aid for people who will read the guidance anyway. It is not a clinical decision tool, it does not screen, match or triage patients, and no answer in it should reach a decision without someone opening the section it cites.
What it changes is where the reading goes. Every cell carries its section and a confidence score, so a reviewer starts from the eight answers that look thin instead of from page one of forty documents. The citation is not a flourish here — it is the entire basis on which the table is usable.
| Document | Evidence grade | Scheme used |
|---|---|---|
| Guideline A vs Guideline B | Mostly B · two strong, six conditional | Letter grades A–D · GRADE |
These are organisational documents.
Guidance, policies, procedures, product information, inspection reports — documents about how a service runs, not records of the people it treats.
That line is deliberate and it is ours as much as yours. Ragextract is not HIPAA compliant and we do not sign Business Associate Agreements, so patient records and other protected health information should not be uploaded. The application says the same thing on every template in this group, before you build a table rather than after.
Guidance includes what amended it.
The publication date is the field that moves. A guideline updated twice carries recommendations that no longer match the ones in the original document, and a table that reads the original will report guidance that was withdrawn — with a citation, which makes it more convincing rather than less.
Bundle each guideline with its addenda and update notices, most recent first, and the bundle is the row. Order carries precedence, so the current version is what “the recommendation” resolves to. A bundle holds up to fifteen documents and the first three are included in the column’s rate.
Where it fits.
A row is one document the organisation has to act on. Which document that is — guidance, policy, inspection report — is the decision to settle before writing a single column.
| The work | What a row is |
|---|---|
| Guidance and pathway review | A guideline, with its addenda |
| Payer and funding policy review | A coverage policy |
| Inspection and accreditation readiness | An inspection report |
| Patient-facing material review | A leaflet or consent form |
The templates ship in the application and their prompts are illustrative starting points, not clinical or regulatory definitions — they are meant to be edited. Clinical guidelines works the whole thing through, including what to check before relying on any of it.
Reading is charged once.
Forty guidelines is a couple of thousand pages, and they are read once however many times the set is later interrogated. A question that occurs to a reviewer in month three costs what it would have cost in week one.
| A 40-guideline review | Volume | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 40 guidelines, 40 pages each — read once | 1,600 pages | 1,600 credits |
| 2 typed questions asked of all 40 | 80 cells | 320 credits |
| Recommendations and referral criteria, as lists | 80 cells | 960 credits |
Ragextract is not a clinical decision support tool and is not regulated as a medical device. It is not HIPAA compliant and we do not sign Business Associate Agreements — do not upload patient records. Nothing on this page is medical, clinical or regulatory advice, and the templates are not clinical definitions.
