Look it up properly
Leave the conversation, open a second app, find the right title, find the right section. It is the correct answer and it costs the visit.
The problem
The answer is twenty minutes away, and the patient is in front of you.
A clinician in a home, a car or a corridor has two bad options and no good one.
Ask a general chatbot
Fast, fluent and drawn from whatever the open web contained. There is no title to check, no publisher behind it and no way to tell a current guideline from an old forum post.
Neither
The clinician texts the one colleague who always knows, or goes from memory. The question never reaches a reference at all, and the team never sees the answer.
How it works
Ask. Answered from the library. Stays in the thread.
No second app, no copy and paste, and no answer that only one person ever sees.
1 · Ask
In plain language, where you already are
The question is typed into the Buzz conversation the clinician is already in. No separate app, no second login, no waiting until they are back at a desk.
2 · Answered from the library
A closed shelf, not the open web
The answer is composed from clinical references Skyscape licenses from medical publishers — drug guides, nursing skills manuals, lab and diagnostic references, clinical therapeutics. The title comes back with the answer.
3 · Stays in the thread
One nurse asks, the team reads
Because the answer arrives in the conversation rather than in a private search, the rest of the care team sees the same answer and the same citation.
Lightning and Brain
Two shelves. Two different kinds of question.
Buzz has two modules that answer things, and they are not interchangeable. The difference is whose knowledge is on the shelf.
Knowledge the world agreed on
Clinical references licensed from medical publishers. The same drug guides, lab manuals and therapeutics titles a clinician would reach for on a shelf, answerable from inside the thread and cited to the title.
Sounds likeWhat is the updated workup for corneal dystrophy?
Sounds likeWhat should I watch for when warfarin meets a new antibiotic?
Skyscape licenses and maintains this content. Your agency does not load anything.
Knowledge your agency wrote
Your own policies and procedures, beside regulatory baselines, answered with the section they came from. It is the binder in the director of nursing's office, made answerable.
Sounds likeWhat is our on-call escalation policy after 9 pm?
Sounds likeCan my aide supervisory visit be done by video?
See BuzzBrain — your documents, your administrators, your shelf.
BuzzLightning knows medicine, BuzzBrain knows your agency. A clinician asking "what is the workup" wants Lightning. A clinician asking "what do we do about it" wants Brain.
What is on the shelf
Named publishers, not an anonymous model.
A sample of the more than 400 clinical titles in Skyscape's licensed library. Which of them your organization can reach depends on its subscription.
Saunders Nursing Drug Handbook
Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference
Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses
Taylor's Clinical Nursing Skills
Conn's Current Therapy
Davis's Diseases and Disorders
Evidence Based Medicine Guidelines
Davis's Comprehensive Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests
Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary
Clinical Companion to Medical Surgical Nursing
Nurses' Handbook of Health Assessment
Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference
The rare thing, recalled on the doorstep
Experienced clinicians do not need the common case explained. They need the one they last saw six years ago, and they need it before they knock.
Calculators and lab references
Dosing calculators, laboratory and diagnostic test references and drug interaction content exist in Skyscape's library. Whether they come with BuzzLightning or are licensed alongside it depends on your subscription, and the scoping call is where that gets settled.
Guidelines, sliced the way care is
Evidence-Based Medicine Guidelines is a series rather than a single volume — geriatrics, psychiatry, dermatology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, women's health, hematology, prevention and screening among them. A home health nurse and a behavioral health clinician end up on different shelves of the same library. Which titles an agency reaches is part of the same subscription scoping.
Safety, privacy and guardrails
What it will not do matters more than what it will.
This is clinical content in a clinical setting. The limits are the product.
On adoption
The question is never whether it works. It is whether anyone will use it.
The test is not whether the answers sound good. It is whether a nurse at a kitchen table asks it a second time.
“My staff was hesitant at first because we just had a bad experience with another company. Until we found Buzz, they were digging their heels in saying ‘You’re chasing a unicorn. What we need is not out there.’”
Nothing new to adopt
No second app, no separate login, no portal to remember. The question is asked in the thread the team is already reading, and the answer lands there. Adoption is not a program, because there is nothing to migrate to.
You choose the term
Monthly, quarterly or annual, whichever fits your budget cycle. Sixty days' notice ends it.
Questions clinicians ask
Does it diagnose?
No. BuzzLightning provides point-of-care reference material and decision support to assist clinical judgment. The clinician diagnoses and decides.
Where do the answers come from?
From a closed library of clinical references Skyscape licenses from medical publishers — drug guides, nursing skills and therapeutics manuals, laboratory and diagnostic references, evidence-based guideline sets. Not the open web. Each answer names the title it came from.
How is this different from asking a general AI chatbot?
A general chatbot answers from whatever the open web contained, with nothing to check. BuzzLightning answers from a licensed clinical library and hands back the title, so the clinician can open the source and judge it. That is the whole difference, and it is the only one that matters at a bedside.
Is this the same as BuzzBrain?
No. BuzzLightning answers clinical questions from licensed medical references. BuzzBrain answers policy and regulatory questions from your own agency's documents. Different shelves, different owners of the content, different questions.
Do we need our EHR connected?
No. BuzzLightning answers reference questions and needs no connection to your system of record. If you want records flowing into channels, that is BuzzStreams, and it is a separate decision.
Can the answer be shared with the rest of the team?
It already is. The answer arrives in the Buzz conversation the team is reading, with its citation, rather than in one person's private search history.
Which titles will our organization be able to reach?
That depends on your subscription. Bring the specialties your clinicians work in to the scoping call and we will tell you which titles that covers, or build the set yourself on the Knowledge pages and see what access costs.
What does it cost?
Per user, per month, at about the price of a venti latte at the airport. Book a demo and we will put a number against your headcount on the call.
Next step
Bring the question your team texted each other last night.
Thirty minutes, your clinicians' real questions, and the titles behind each answer on screen where you can read them. If a call is not the next step yet, the library itself is on the Knowledge pages, with what access costs.
