Commure has been selected by HCA Healthcare, Inc., one of the nation’s leading providers of healthcare services, as the exclusive partner to develop and deploy an ambient AI platform across its network of healthcare professionals. This partnership, following Commure’s acquisition of ambient AI pioneer Augmedix, marks a significant step forward in efforts to integrate AI into healthcare and transform the way patient visits are conducted and documented across the HCA Healthcare network. A formal enterprise agreement is being negotiated between the two companies.
The multi-specialty, EHR-agnostic platform, co-developed by Commure and HCA Healthcare, is designed to support critical workflows in emergency departments, hospitalist operations, and ambulatory care. This solution is the product of a collaborative effort between Commure’s engineers, the Augmedix team led by company founder Ian Shakil, HCA Healthcare’s Care Transformation & Innovation department, and HCA Healthcare’s physicians and is designed to help address real-world challenges in healthcare documentation.
“Our collaboration with Commure and Augmedix is bringing time-saving and innovative solutions directly to the hands of our healthcare providers,” said Dr. Michael Schlosser, Senior Vice President of Care Transformation and Innovation at HCA Healthcare. “By working directly with providers to integrate AI into their workflows, we expect to free up our healthcare professionals to spend more time focused on patient care, which is our ultimate goal.”
Transforming Healthcare Through Technology
As one of the nation’s leading providers of healthcare services, HCA Healthcare operates 188 hospitals and approximately 2,400 sites of care, supported by more than 99,000 registered nurses. The planned deployment of Commure’s ambient AI suite is expected to drive improvements in physician productivity, patient care quality, and healthcare system efficiencies.
“Together with HCA Healthcare, we are building the future of healthcare AI,” said Tanay Tandon, CEO of Commure. “This platform goes beyond simple automation. It is designed to enhance clinical workflows in ways that allow healthcare providers to focus more on what matters most — caring for patients.”
Hemant Taneja, CEO and Managing Director at General Catalyst, co-founder of Commure, and Chairman said, “HCA Healthcare has been a tremendous partner for our health assurance ecosystem. Not only do they demonstrate to us best in class operational excellence, they also have a deep focus on patient and workforce experience. I am proud to see the Commure team co-develop what will be one of the largest deployments of AI in Healthcare worldwide.”
