Institutional search should not treat every document equally.

A current local pathway should beat an old slide deck. A concise algorithm should beat a twenty-page policy.

FOAM Cortex routes the right content forward by recency, site specificity, and actionability.

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.

[FOAM Cortex @FOAMCortex]

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.
