Clinical Care Options

What Clinical Care Options does

Clinical Care Options (CCO), operating under the legal entity Clinical Education Alliance, LLC and doing business as Decera Clinical, is a U.S.-based continuing medical education (CME) company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The company delivers accredited CME, CE, and EBAC educational content to licensed healthcare professionals — physicians, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, and nurses — across 15+ medical specialties including oncology, neurology, psychiatry, cardiology, infectious disease, dermatology, and endocrinology. Its core asset is the Decera Clinical Education Platform, which aggregates content in multiple formats (interactive video lectures, case challenges, podcasts, slidesets, patient simulations, virtual grand rounds) and is supplemented by signature annual conferences (e.g., 12th Annual Psychopharmacology Update, Hot Topics in Neurology, Mood Disorders Summit) and post-conference coverage of major medical meetings such as ASCO, DDW, EHA, and HOPA.

The platform's technology layer is centered on a self-serve, free-to-HCP web experience that issues credits across multiple accreditation bodies (ABIM MOC, ACPE, AMA PRA, ANCC, EBAC, APA, ADA CERP, etc.), and includes an AI-powered "Ask AI" assistant for clinical question-answering. Around the core platform, CCO has built a broader product surface: the Insights Solution (analytics and outcomes tracking for sponsors), liV (an integrated communications and marketing agency), the Partners for Advancing Clinical Education partner network, and topic-specific Resource Hubs (Atopic Dermatitis, Brain Health, Opioid REMS, Quality Improvement, Rare Blood Diseases).

The business model is freemium to HCPs — all educational content, activities, live events, and credits are provided at no cost — with revenue generated from pharmaceutical and medical device industry sponsorships and grants. The go-to-market is direct-to-HCP through the owned digital property, live events, and conference coverage; sponsor relationships are clearly the monetized side of the platform. The company is privately held with 51-100 employees and no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds.
