Trust But Verify: July 2026 Edition

Prompt of the Month - “Safe for Surgery: a prompt to evaluate a patient prior to surgery”
This Prompt of the Month comes from Ken Nepple, MD at the University of Iowa Health Care. In his words: “Prompt to evaluate your patient prior to surgery, which could be used by surgery or anesthesia or medicine. Can be edited to your specialty and specific requests. I add things as they come up (added the GLP-1 part after a patient had OR cancellation due to not following preoperative guideline on clear liquids prior to surgery.” Run the prompt on a synthetic patient and check out Dr. Nepple’s post about it

The First Peer-Reviewed Research into the Impact of an AI-Drafted Admit Note Found an Average of 4-5 New Conditions Per Chart 🔬
The University of Iowa Health Care recently published the first peer-reviewed research into the impact of an AI-drafted admit note on quality-impacting conditions in a real-world inpatient setting. The study found an average of 4.5 additional quality-impacting conditions per chart surfaced in the AI-drafted admit note Evidently created. Our whitepaper dives into their findings, and compares their research to similar studies we've done at four other major health systems (spoiler: all five health systems saw consistent, repeatable impact in capturing full patient complexity on admit). Read the full analysis.

Welcome, Clinicians & Providers from new UNC Health Facilities! 🩺🩵
Welcome aboard, clinicians from new UNC Health facilities! We're thrilled you're here —and already blown away by the prompts you're writing. And yes, we are absolutely taking barbecue recommendations, thanks for asking. We know about Skylight Inn, but are looking for something more local next time we're in town. Reply to this email with recommendations! The team here at HQ will be anxiously waiting.

"I didn't believe it when I saw it": Hidden AFib Buried in a Scanned Document from Years Ago 📚
Every day we hear stories from clinicians about the ways they're able to put AI to work for them, surfacing long-buried conditions in the chart, and giving them the seat belt they've always needed in delivering care. We sat down with Kalie Dove-Maguire, MD, Kai Romero, MD, and Mara Olson from Team Evidently to share some of those stories. Watch the whole conversation

Building Patient Trust in an AI Era with Dieter Sumerauer, MD 🎙️
What I loved about this conversation Dr. Romero and I had with Dr. Sumerauer (Associate CHIO at Rady Children's) was how much thought he's given to AI as augmentation instead of replacement. From the earliest days of running an electronic medical record on a server in the office closet at his private practice in the early 2000s, to massive AI rollouts & adoption, he's kept a focus on making the technology work for him and his teams, not the other way around.

Headed to Salt Lake City for KLAS Arch Collaborative Learning Summit? 🤓
We can't wait to catch up with everyone at the Learning Summit in a few weeks in Salt Lake City! Swing by and catch our lunchtime Evidently demo session, and hear a talk from Dr. Ken Nepple from University of Iowa Health Care on the impact Clinical Data Intelligence has had on the grant research work he and his team are doing. I got a preview of his talk last week and it's a good one. Check out Dr. Nepple’s sessions on Wednesday 7/29 @ 9am & 10am MT!

It Was Great to See Everyone at American Transplant Congress in Boston 🦞
We had a blast talking to all of you that came by the booth at American Transplant Congress a few weeks ago. Talking to the coordinators, surgeons, and transplant teams doing this work every day is the most valuable thing we do as a company, and we always come back buzzing.
Didn't catch us on site? We'd love to show you a live demo of how Evidently turns a transplant patient chart into a living, up-to-date source of truth for transplant teams. Grab some time with the team!

Ask Evidently has been a game-changer for our providers. It empowers clinicians with a chat tool that has already read the patient chart, letting them spend more time asking important questions and less time on exhausting chart biopsy. And it aligns with our goals at Allina Health to provide effective and efficient experiences for our patients.”

Evidently is a modern clinical intelligence platform that gives healthcare organizations superpowers.
From H&P to CDI review, pre-charting, chart summarization, risk adjustment and more, we’re your partner for AI in healthcare, helping to increase revenue and decrease clinician burnout. We’d love to show you a demo
