Why we built it
Practice software should answer to the physician who uses it. So a physician built this one.
Every screen started as something Dr. Alluri needed in the middle of a visit. His training shaped the software, and the software stayed inside the practice.
The platform
Twelve things a practice runs on, sharing one record
Every piece works on its own. Together they write to one chart, one ledger and one calendar, on your hardware. Each has its own page.

A visit, start to finish
The platform fits the visit, because the visit shaped it
The software reads and drafts. The clinician decides. Nothing is signed, sent or filed by a machine.
Before the visit
The patient checks in, the chart gets ready
A clinician-written check-in gathers the history and screens for alarm symptoms first.

Prepared for what comes next
Take back control of your data, your costs and your license
Today, records leave the building by default, and per-seat, per-patient and metered-AI fees grow with the practice. We built it the other way around.
Data containment
Your records sit on hardware you own, inside a network that dials outward only. Anything leaving is allowed by name, or it does not leave.

Why practices choose it
Built for direct care, from inside a direct care practice
Four reasons physicians call, in the order they bring them up.
Every screen came from a visit.
Dr. Alluri trained in family medicine, then built the record he wanted to chart in, the check-in he wanted patients to fill, and the assistant he wanted to review, one visit at a time.
Walk through a visit →Your data stays in your building.
The chart, the video, the messages, the model that drafts the note: all of it runs on machines the practice owns. Backups are encrypted before they leave, and the keys stay with you.
How containment works →No per-patient rent on your own work.
A fuller panel should not mean a bigger software bill. No subscription, no revenue share, no per-seat AI tier.
See the numbers →The proof is a working practice, not a slide deck.
Excelsior Medicine, a direct primary care practice in Reston, Virginia, runs on this stack every day.

Questions physicians ask
Straight answers
Answered the way we would answer them on the phone.
Is Excelsior Framework an EHR?
Yes, and more. A self-hosted record at the center, and around it the memberships, billing, scheduling, video, messaging, mail, website, portal and AI a practice needs. We do not sell a subscription. We build it on your hardware and run it with you.
Is AI included?
Yes, on every build, on your own GPU. No AI tier, no per-note bill. A person approves anything that matters.
Can I take my data if I leave?
Yes, all of it, in the format the system keeps it in, with its full history. No export fee.
Is it HIPAA compliant?
No software is a HIPAA certificate. We build the controls, keep the evidence and hand you the documentation: encryption, access control, audit trail, signed business associate agreements, and a network that only lets traffic out by name. The obligations stay yours, and you will know exactly what they are.
Does it run a real clinic?
Yes. Excelsior Medicine, a direct primary care practice in Reston, Virginia, runs on it every day.

What it does
Telehealth, the way our clinic runs it
Four things worth knowing. Each one runs in our clinic today, not on a roadmap.
Your server
No middleman
The video service runs on hardware the practice owns. No account with a meeting vendor, no per-minute bill.

Previsit, live visit, summary
Check-in, the live visit and the plain-language summary are three stages of one workflow, shown the same way to patient and clinician.
