Sunoh.ai's Ambient AI Scribe Helps Clinicians Spend Less Time Charting at Night

Family Health Centers in Louisville, Kentucky adopted the ambient note-taking tool from Sunoh.ai to cut down on doctors' filling out notes during family times in the evenings and even way into the night. In this information-rich interview, Chief Clinical Informatics Officer Cynthia Cox discusses how Family Health Centers adopted Sunoh.ai and the main ways it's helped them on this key goal and others.The initiative came about after a few doctors heard of ambient scribes and wanted to try it. The health center started by offering the tool to these doctors, but then realized it had a great opportunity to reach out and introduce it to other doctors experiencing burn-out. A demo video of the tool in action was enough to persuade many to use it. Family Health Center EHR trainers came into the practice to work side-by-side with doctors, training them on Sunoh.ai. And the doctors are happy with the change with many of them using the scribe for more than 90% of their notes.Learn more about Family Health Centers: https://www.fhclouisville.org/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

From Systems to Information: Rethinking Legacy Data in Healthcare

At HIMSS26, Legacy Data Access CEO Shawn Fichter joined us to talk about why health systems should transition from holding on to legacy applications to a more strategic approach that makes access to their historical data easier and more purposeful.Post-COVID cost pressures and a wave of point solutions left many organizations drowning in siloed data. Fichter argues the problem runs deeper than technology choices. When left unmanaged, legacy applications quietly become security liabilities and information dead-ends. M&A activity only compounds the chaos by generating duplicate and orphaned systems with no clear need for access.The antidote, he suggests, is a proactive archival strategy built around use cases rather than applications. That means engaging clinicians, HIM managers, finance and HR leaders, and research teams to understand how they actually need to access information, and then designing a governance approach that balances ease of use with a defensible risk profile. Getting that balance right also has a direct payoff: optimized data management reduces the overhead required for routine reporting and release-of-information work.Learn more about Legacy Data Access: https://www.legacydataaccess.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

MediQuant Reduces Cyber Exposure, Tech Footprint, and Costs with Application Rationalization

Over the decades, IT systems proliferate at health care systems, particularly when individual departments install solutions optimized for their particular use case. Jim Jacobs, CEO at MediQuant, points out that users tend to rely on existing systems and resist having them taken away. But consolidation can help customers meet their defined priorities: reducing cyber exposure, tech footprint, and costs. A structured application rationalization approach and tool can provide the data needed to make those decisions.Learn more about MediQuant: https://www.mediquant.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

AVIA's Intelligent Platform Is Available for Free for Hospitals & Health Systems

I think that every reader who has followed health IT companies would agree when Clay Holderman, CEO of AVIA, in a recent interview with Healthcare IT Today says, “There is so much noise in the market, it’s impossible to sift through.” AVIA has been offering knowledge and expertise to health care institutions for years. Following their recent acquisition of Panda Health, they now evolved their marketplace into an “intelligence platform” that enables clients to access all the combined health IT research from AVIA and Panda Health.The insights on the AVIA intelligence platform include a range of materials on types of healthcare technology and vendors (which Holderman likes to call “solution companies”). The platform is free to both providers and vendors, on a freemium model. AVIA has created its own objective research on 115 categories (each with a buyer’s guide and objective lists of leading vendors) and over 6k digital health vendors. Vendors also have a place to provide their own marketing materials and other information that potential clients might find useful.Learn more about Avia: https://aviahealth.comHealthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

How Modern Systems Power Financial Stewardship in Rural Healthcare

The financial realities in rural healthcare in particular are quite challenging. That's why I was really excited by the opportunity to talk with Bryant Blay, CFO at Montgomery County Memorial Hospital + Clinics (MCMH) in southwest Iowa, about some of the financial realities they face. A big part of their efforts to manage these financial challenges included leveraging the Multiview ERP to give them more visibility into their financial systems and reframe the culture of the organization. Joining the conversation was Mike Johnson, President and CEO of Multiview ERP, who shared his perspective on why many rural healthcare organizations struggle to access the financial clarity they need and what’s changing.Learn more about Multiview ERP: https://multiviewcorp.com/Learn more about Montgomery County Memorial Hospital + Clinics: https://www.mcmh.org/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
