What DARTNet Institute does

DARTNet Institute is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare research organization founded in 2007 and headquartered in Aurora, Colorado. The organization operates as a practice-based research network that aggregates and standardizes electronic health record (EHR) data from partner clinics and academic institutions, then delivers that data back to clinicians and researchers through its proprietary In4MedCare® clinical decision support system and a suite of customized analytics dashboards built on Power BI and Amazon QuickSight. Its service portfolio covers four interconnected offerings: collaborative research on treatment effectiveness and chronic disease, practice improvement tools for clinical trials and quality initiatives, patient care management (including REDCap-based survey and consent workflows), and data processing with insight generation. REDCap is integrated for survey management and informed consent, and all data handling is HIPAA-compliant with documented encryption and de-identification practices.

The institute serves two primary customer segments: healthcare providers and clinicians who need point-of-care decision support, and clinical researchers and research institutions conducting practice-based studies; a secondary segment comprises healthcare clinics and health systems seeking operational and population-health analytics. Revenue is generated through a non-commercial mix of donations, research grants (likely from federal and foundation sources), and fee-based customized analytics services to clinics and research teams; pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements begin through a consultation-based sales motion. DARTNet's go-to-market is community-led, relying on its website, annual reports, conference participation, and direct outreach to grow its partner network rather than traditional commercial sales channels. The organization is privately held as a nonprofit, has no disclosed parent company, and maintains public financial transparency through its ProPublica nonprofit profile.
