Kanon gives residency programs one place to author, update, and distribute their own clinical practice guidelines — and prove the whole team has read the current version.
Most programs keep their guidelines in shared drives, aging PDFs, and binders. The result is predictable — and risky.
A resident at 2 a.m. shouldn't be hunting through folders for the protocol they need in the next ninety seconds.
A faculty member updates a document and there's no version, no date, and no way to know who's still following the old one.
When accreditation or risk management asks who has seen the current protocol, a shared drive has no answer.
The knowledge lives in a few people's heads and walks out the door when they do.
Everything a program needs to keep its guidelines current and in front of the people who follow them.
A clean editor with embedded figures, tables, and references that link straight to PubMed or society pages. One administrator keeps it all current.
Search-first and mobile-first. Residents and faculty open the app, type, and have the answer — no folders, no scrolling.
Flag any guideline for acknowledgement. Track who's confirmed the current version — and re-acknowledge automatically when it materially changes.
Versioning, effective dates, and review reminders mean everyone is always looking at the current guidance — and can see when it was last reviewed.
Role-based access for residents, faculty, APPs, and nursing — plus alumni, rotating students with auto-expiring access, and referring clinicians.
Multiple programs at one hospital can choose to share guidelines with each other — controlled per guideline, always labeled by source.
No IT project, no procurement marathon. We provision your program and load your first protocols for you.
Claimed from the ACGME directory, so the names and structure are right from the start.
Bulk-import your residents, faculty, and team from a spreadsheet. Passwordless login — nothing to distribute.
Our setup service enters up to 50 of your existing protocols for you, tagged the way your specialty thinks about them — so your team starts searching that day.
Kanon was built by a former residency program director with 25+ years of experience in educational program management across both university and community hospital settings — and a front-row view of good protocols disappearing into shared drives. It's designed around how residency programs actually work, not how software companies assume they do.
"I wanted the protocol my residents needed to be one search away, always current, and provably read. Nothing did that — so we built it."
One price per program. Every user included. No per-seat metering, no surprise increases as your roster turns over.
See Kanon with your own protocols. We'll set up a short walkthrough with the founder.
