AAOA Partner: XTRACT Solutions

XTRACT Solutions

Xtract Solutions was founded in 2005 by James W. Baker M.D., a highly regarded physician with more than 30 years experience treating patients with allergies, asthma, and immunological disorders. Dr. Baker was concerned with the lack of quality and effectiveness in preparing patient vials for immunotherapy, and recognized a unique opportunity to design a product that would address these issues. Xtract Solutions transformed Dr. Baker’s initial design concept into a product line that has achieved significant results in his own practice, as well as in many others.

Xtract Solutions is an industry-leading software program that organizes patient care from diagnosis, immunotherapy vial creation, and injections, through to successful completion of treatment. Xtract Solutions interfaces with EMR systems for increased efficiency and productivity for providers and clinic staff, as well as improved patient safety. It is ideally suited both low and high volume private allergy practices, hospitals with oversight over allergy clinics, and integrated health systems with large numbers of allergy practices.

Allergy Immunotherapy Software
