Ambient AI cleared the proof-of-concept bar. The panel at the KLAS Research K2 Summit confirmed what's next: clinical conversations as structured revenue cycle inputs, coding accuracy, denials, prior auth, appeals. @ianshakil was on stage for that conversation today.

Ambient documentation has cleared the proof-of-concept bar. The conversation now is about what happens after deployment. @ianshakil is joining a panel at the K2 Collaborative Payer/Provider Summit to talk through how the ROI case for ambient has expanded, from reducing documentation burden to improving coding accuracy, reducing denials friction, and supporting prior authorization and appeals. Note generation was the starting point. Coding accuracy, denials friction, and prior auth support are where the value compounds.

"Whatever you thought was normal six months ago, will not be normal six months from now." Our CSO @ianshakil joined leadership from @NebraskaMed, @MethodistHosp, and Mt. San Rafael at HIMSS26 to talk through where health systems stand on AI maturity. When asked what single shift matters most for enduring AI-transformation right now, Ian shared it's flexibility rather than speed – because the integrations that are possible are changing faster than most roadmaps account for. Full recap here: hubs.ly/Q047r88y0

My new business norm take- Leaders have always been saying, "Make it brief, put it into bullets, sum it up for me." Nowadays in the era of AI and agents, *I* actually want to get the full raw and unvarnished transcripts of things and do my own summarization. It's a little bit of a reversal on business communications. Do others agree?

Churn is the worst reason to have slow growth. Churn means you're not just unknown, or that there's a big threshold to sign up. It means people are actually trying the product and deciding they don't like it.
