KLAS Research

We’re excited to highlight our final keynote speaker for KLAS’ K2 Collaborative: Meghan Gabriel, Economist at ASTP/ONC. As health IT adoption and interoperability continue to expand, we continue to see friction in accessing and using information in the real world. Meghan will share insights drawn from physician-reported data, exploring the ongoing administrative burden tied to tracking external information, after-hours documentation, and prior authorization. Her session will underscore the need for improved usability, stronger workflow integration, and better real-world performance to ensure technology truly supports clinicians. We can't wait to learn more! #KLASK2CollaborativeSummit2026 #KLASK2Summit2026

How do you ensure your clinicians always have access to the latest evidence-based guidance?

At this year’s Global Summit (May 25-27), KLAS is excited to highlight discussions around ambient speech technology. Our first panel will explore how ambient speech is evolving internationally, lessons learned in North America, what differentiates emerging solutions in a rapidly maturing market, and how health systems and technology leaders are translating conversational data into meaningful clinical and operational outcomes. Panelists will discuss lessons from early deployments, the role of governance and trust in AI, and what it will take for ambient speech to scale successfully across diverse global healthcare environments. #KLASglobal #KLASglobalsummit #KLASresearch

While the digital pathology market in the US is still taking shape, it is also quickly gaining momentum. The recent KLAS report on digital pathology explores how early adopters are navigating key decisions around platforms, scanners, and AI. It's also eye-opening to see what their experiences reveal about the road ahead. A few important points to know: • Strong vendor partnerships matter as much as technology • Scanner performance is still foundational to success • AI interest is rising but integration matters most You can learn more about the report in our recent blog in the comments.

How much time do your nurses spend documenting instead of on patient care? Nursing teams are often burdened by time-consuming documentation requirements that pull them away from why they came to healthcare in the first place--patients. This not only contributes to burnout but can also lead to incomplete or inefficient recordkeeping and missed opportunities for meaningful patient interaction. Our latest Emerging Insights First Look report looks at Abridge Ambient AI for Nursing. Using conversational AI to document care in real time, the platform aims to reduce nurses' heavy administrative workload. This report explores early adopter experiences, including organizations currently in pilot and beta environments. See the report in the comments for an early look at what’s working. #HealthcareIT #Nursing #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #ClinicalWorkflows

How confident are you in the accuracy of your inpatient coding and clinical documentation? For many healthcare organizations, ensuring accurate DRG assignment and complete clinical documentation is a constant challenge with manual reviews, documentation gaps, and disconnected workflows. Our latest Emerging Insights case study examines AKASA’s Mid-Cycle Optimization Suite and how one early adopter is using it to strengthen inpatient coding and documentation. This pre-bill AI solution uses automations and workflows to improve coding accuracy and minimize documentation/data gaps. If you’re exploring how AI can enhance coding accuracy and documentation integrity, this case study offers a real-world look at what’s possible.
