Kaiser Permanente consolidated 12 EHR instances across California into two in a matter of hours without disrupting patient care. This project has simplified clinical workflows and improved data consistency, as well as provided a rare example of EHR consolidation executed successfully at scale, said Neil Cowles, the health system’s chief information and technology officer.
At Forbes Healthcare Summit, Epic CEO Judy Faulkner explained why the company’s long-protected independence and unconventional management approach have been central to its dominance as an EHR vendor. Now, she says the company’s future will depends on how it uses its massive data stores to support AI-powered clinical decisions.
The go-to mechanisms for differential payment – network design, case management, quality measurement and prior authorization – increasingly rely on APIs capable of handling not only claims data but, more importantly, the clinical data critical to intelligent decision-making.
Sanford Health is embedding AI into its EHR to turn vast patient data into actionable insights. Tools like a chronic kidney disease module and a personalized colon cancer screening model are helping clinicians catch disease earlier and tailor care to individual patients, explained Jeremy Cauwels, the health system's chief medical officer.

In an era of real-time data, emergency response teams can no longer afford to operate in silos. EMR interoperability is essential to improving care continuity, outcomes, and decision-making — from curb to discharge.
In serving some of the most vulnerable and sick patient populations, this comprehensive approach can lead to improved outcomes while focusing on slowing disease progression.
Picture each patient with a computational model of their health where each treatable parameter (like weight, blood pressure, heart rate, exercise, inflammation, and blood chemistry) serves both as a marker for diagnosis and as an opportunity for treatment.
If healthcare leaders hope to demonstrate ROI on AI investments, reduce clinician burnout, and meet compliance requirements, they must first ensure the integrity of their clinical data.
