Suki Unveils Nursing Consortium to Curb Nursing Shortage With AI from HIT Syed Hamza Sohail

What You Should Know:

– Suki, the leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare, today announced a new initiative focused on the administrative burden on nurses nationwide, which includes the launch of an inaugural nursing consortium with leading health systems. 

– Consortium members will collaborate on developing a solution called Suki for Nurses that will integrate with leading electronic health records (EHRs), including Epic, MEDITECH, and Oracle Health, tailored to the unique workflows of nurses, streamlining daily tasks and improving efficiency. 

Suki Expands AI Capabilities to Nursing Through Partnership with AvaSure

Suki, a leading AI technology company transforming healthcare operations, announced a strategic partnership with AvaSure, a pioneer in AI-powered virtual care solutions, to bring ambient documentation capabilities to AvaSure’s national network of hospitals. The collaboration underscores Suki’s mission to make healthcare technology invisible yet assistive, reducing administrative burden and enabling clinicians to focus on patient care.

At the center of Suki’s innovation is Suki Assistant, a generative AI platform that ambiently listens to clinician–patient conversations to automatically generate clinical documentation. By integrating this capability into AvaSure’s ecosystem, nurses and physicians will soon be able to complete admission, discharge, and visit documentation hands-free—streamlining workflows and allowing for uninterrupted patient engagement.

The partnership will unfold in two phases:

  • Phase One: AvaSure users—nurses and physicians—will leverage Suki’s ambient AI to automate documentation for admissions, discharges, and virtual visits.
  • Phase Two: Suki will enable bedside documentation for nurses, further minimizing administrative load and enhancing real-time care delivery.

AvaSure currently supports over 1,100 hospitals nationwide, giving the partnership immediate scale and potential to impact healthcare delivery at a national level.

To guide this expansion, Suki has also convened a nursing consortium featuring leading health systems operating across diverse EHR environments: McLeod Health (Epic), Citizens Memorial and Boone Health (MEDITECH), and Fisher-Titus (Oracle Health), with additional members forthcoming. This diversity ensures Suki’s AI solutions reflect the full complexity of U.S. healthcare rather than a single system or workflow—an essential approach as the industry faces unprecedented burnout and turnover, with more than half of healthcare workers considering job changes and one in four nurses citing exhaustion as a primary factor.

Through feedback from these consortium partners, Suki will develop AI-powered tools tailored to nursing workflows, beginning with automation for commonly used forms and flowsheets such as patient assessments and intake documentation. These tools aim to help nurses reclaim valuable time, reduce burnout, and enhance their focus on patient-centered care.

“By collaborating with innovative health systems across the country, we’re gaining invaluable insight into nursing workflows from every angle of healthcare,” said Punit Soni, CEO and Founder of Suki. “Our mission has always been to bring joy back to medicine by removing administrative friction. Extending that to nurses means enabling them to spend less time documenting and more time caring for patients.”

Today, Suki’s AI platform powers intelligent capabilities across telehealth, EHRs, care management, revenue cycle management, and clinical documentation—integrating seamlessly across all major EHRs and devices, including iOS, Android, web, and Chrome extension. By extending its proven ambient AI to nurses, Suki is building the foundation for a future where healthcare technology fades into the background—empowering clinicians to focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional patient care.
