"We’ve really embraced AI in the last few years. The healow AI-powered no-show prediction model lowered our no-show rate to 8-9%, which is significantly lower than the national FQHC no-show rate,” said Dr. Brian Stratta, CMO/CEO of Hyndman Area Health Center. “Sunoh.ai handles over 90% of provider documentation, reducing 'pajama time' and improving patient interactions. eClinicalWorks Image AI processes over 4,000 fax pages monthly, streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency, all while helping us deliver high-quality, timely care to our community."
Hyndman Area Health Center’s rural population is often challenged by long travel distances, mountainous terrain, and severe weather, making access to care a critical priority. Committed to its mission of delivering comprehensive, affordable, and compassionate healthcare to all, regardless of ability to pay, the center provides a wide range of integrated services. From primary care to dental and mental health services, Hyndman’s team of dedicated providers ensures care for patients of all ages, from birth through geriatric care. With innovative tools and a patient-centered approach, the center is advancing health outcomes and striving to create a healthier, more equitable community.
Dr. Stratta shared, "Transitioning to a cloud-based EHR was a game-changer for us, particularly given the challenges of our rural location, where network slowness and internet outages are common. With eClinicalWorks Cloud capabilities, we’ve improved efficiency, expanded our reach with initiatives like our mobile dental unit, and made telehealth a cornerstone of care, ensuring patients in remote areas can access services without often treacherous travel."
“In our ongoing effort to improve rural healthcare, we are excited to partner with Hyndman Area Health Center to expand access to advanced technology to their local communities,” said Girish Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. “Our cloud-based EHR and AI solutions aim to reduce operational and financial barriers and enhance access to high-quality care for underserved populations. Hyndman Area Health Center’s commitment to enhancing patient engagement and operational efficiency aligns perfectly with our goal to make healthcare technology more accessible. Together, we are working toward more inclusive and equitable healthcare delivery.”
