RFP and Compliance Questionnaire Automation for Healthcare & Life Sciences Teams

Clinical, regulatory and security questionnaires are notoriously complex – from hospital procurement RFPs to aged-care compliance checklists, HIPAA/HITECH attestations, life sciences vendor audits and clinical trial documentation. Cognaire Respond helps organisations answer faster, improve accuracy, reduce compliance risk and free scarce SMEs from repetitive, manual drafting.

Built for the way healthcare and life sciences organisations stay compliant and patient-safe

Answers you can trust, built for your workflow

Cognaire Respond combines knowledge automation, semantic search, and real-time reasoning to ensure every question is answered accurately and aligned with your unique content and compliance guidelines.

Centralise and govern knowledge across business units

Large FS organisations often struggle with siloed documents across risk, IT, security, commercial and operations. Respond consolidates these into a structured, version-controlled corpus with topic/type filtering, approval workflows and a built-in AI reviewer.

Accelerate complex RFPs while preserving auditability

Large financial institutions expect complete, consistent answers across hundreds of technical, regulatory and operational questions. Respond reduces the effort involved in answering by as much as 80–90 percent through bulk AI jobs, Answer-Using-AI pipelines, and collaborative workflows.

Centralise policies, procedures, clinical governance documents and evidence

Whether it is infection control procedures, clinical quality frameworks, accreditation evidence, ethical review documentation, or lab process controls, Respond centralises version-controlled documents in a governed corpus.

Produce complete, audit-ready answers with reliability and traceability

Hospitals, aged-care providers and life sciences organisations must be able to trace every answer back to approved documentation, especially when dealing with regulators, accreditors or clinical trial auditors. Respond performs a second LLM pass to score completeness, risk, and compliance, flagging gaps before answers reach reviewers.

Reduce pressure on clinical, quality and regulatory SMEs

Medical, compliance and quality teams spend significant time rewriting the same documentation—clinical safety practices, infection control, secure handling of sensitive data, patient privacy processes, risk frameworks, and audit evidence. Respond retrieves approved documents through the corpus hierarchy and generates draft answers automatically, allowing SMEs to focus on validation rather than manual drafting.

Simplify complex clinical and regulatory questionnaires

Healthcare and life sciences teams regularly face large questionnaires covering clinical governance, data protection, HIPAA/HITECH, ISO 27001, ISO 15189, APRA CPS 234 (for health insurers), and local aged-care standards. Respond uses governed corpus content and multi-stage AI pipelines to draft accurate, complete answers that meet strict regulatory expectations.

Step 2: Draft

Generate accurate, compliant answers using governed corpus content

Select the right domain/unit combination (e.g., Clinical Governance, Security, Aged Care Quality Standards, Lab/Research Ops). Respond retrieves relevant approved documents and drafts tailored answers through its multi-stage AI pipeline.

Step 3: Complete

Collaborate, refine and export

SMEs review answers, increase precision, attach evidence, and refine wording. Post-answer review analysis flags clinical, compliance and security risks before finalisation. Export to Excel, Word or PDF in the exact format your hospital, regulator or procurement body requires.
