Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR)

Air-gapped IREs, where critical systems and data can be restored if primary infrastructure is compromised, offer EHR access in a secure cloud environment, leaders from Sentara and AWS showed at HIMSS26 on Wednesday.

That's where artificial intelligence is headed today, says EHR vendor CliniComp's Sandra Johnson. HIMSS26 is highlighting the need for AI that is integrated, interoperable, clinically designed and operationally accountable, she adds.

A multi-artificial intelligence agent architecture triggers high-risk patient advanced care planning to improve clinical workflows and patient experiences, while integrating critical human steps for action.

Called Novare, it offers ambient note-taking, voice-activated chart search, agentic task helpers, intelligent coding suggestions, automated prior authorization, real-time benefit checks and more.

At HIMSS26, the EHR vendor is unveiling technology that brings conversational AI to the point of care, an AI-powered companion to portals, a denial agent to claims, and more. The COO discusses the tech and the potential benefits.

The EHR vendor's clinical, RCM and patient AI technologies – Art, Penny and Emmie – are delivering faster documentation, earlier diagnoses and fewer denials, the company says, unveiling the results from early clients.

Dr. Peggy Allen, a pediatric anesthesiologist at Akron Children's Hospital, offers tips for physicians and nurses on the frontlines of healthcare delivery on how they can use their EHRs to better serve patients.

It is securing 1,000 additional licenses for use by mental health teams in public emergency departments.

The newly released application can generate simplified formatted patient consult summaries.

At HIMSS26, it will showcase how artificial intelligence is enhancing its EHR, reimbursement agents, cloud applications and more. The company "continues to focus on removing friction," says General Manager Seema Verma ahead of the conference.
