PALO ALTO, Calif. & CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — May 7, 2026 — Evidently, the leading Clinical Data Intelligence company, today announced that UNC Health selected its platform for UNC Health hospitals and clinics in the Triangle Region of North Carolina.
UNC Health’s decision follows a 12-week pilot involving 100 users including clinicians, clinical documentation specialists and physician leaders. Pilot participants evaluated Evidently’s effectiveness in synthesizing information from large and complex patient records to support efficient chart review and informed clinical decision-making. In addition, UNC Health and Evidently are committed to responsible use of AI, with privacy and security safeguards and governance oversight to support safe, trustworthy care.
As one of the nation's leading academic health systems, UNC Health faces a common and increasing challenge confronting clinicians everywhere: the relentless growth of clinical information that clinicians are expected to synthesize, often in minutes, across an ever-expanding landscape of records, systems, and sources.
An Evaluation led by Clinicians and Operational Leaders
“The patient record continues to grow longer and more complex, and clinicians are often asked to make decisions with limited time to search through it,” said S. David McSwain, MD, MPH, System Chief Medical Informatics Officer, UNC Health. “During the pilot, Evidently demonstrated its ability to streamline chart review and help clinicians focus less on searching for information and more on caring for patients. Extending that capability to every clinician is exactly the kind of investment in both clinician experience and patient outcomes that we’re committed to making.”
During the pilot, clinicians and documentation specialists reported that Evidently helped surface clinically relevant history that may otherwise be difficult to locate in extensive patient records.
Clinical Data Intelligence: The Layer That Makes Every Clinical AI Tool More Powerful
The first enterprise rollout of clinical AI at UNC Health gave clinicians the ability to capture a conversation ambiently, freeing them to focus completely on their patient instead of the computer or a notepad. This next wave is Clinical Data Intelligence — delivering insight from the longitudinal complexity of the patient record, across structured and unstructured EHR data, scanned documents, transcripts, faxes, imaging reports, and external health information exchanges integrated into the EHR.
"Every clinician knows what it's like to make decisions with less information than you need — not because it isn't there, but because it’s inaccessible at the point of care," said Kalie Dove-Maguire, MD, President and Chief Product Officer, Evidently. "UNC Health is making a profound investment in their clinicians and the care they can deliver. By deploying our best-in-class intelligence layer, they are streamlining workflows and ensuring that every provider can focus on complex clinical decision-making rather than data retrieval — ultimately driving better patient outcomes and higher provider satisfaction."
UNC Health specialists piloting the system reported saving as much as 40 minutes a day on chart review alone. A targeted review of a sample of historical notes also demonstrated Evidently's intelligence layer surfacing an average of three to four additional quality-impacting diagnoses per chart.
An Enterprise Capability for Every Specialty and Care Setting
Evidently is not just for physicians. Adoption at UNC Health will span the full care team — including physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers, case managers, allied health professionals and others. Evidently is also being used by clinical documentation specialists who chose Evidently over a pre-existing homegrown solution.
With this deployment, UNC Health is embedding clinical intelligence directly into clinical workflows, moving away from siloed AI tools, and supercharging how every clinician uses the patient record in delivering safe, efficient, and patient-centered care.
"UNC Health has been deliberate about how we introduce advanced technologies into clinical care,” said Vineeta Khemani, Executive Director, ISD Enterprise Architecture & Clinical Systems, UNC Health. "Our 'One Patient, One Chart' vision has always been about making sure every clinician has access to the full picture of the patient in front of them — regardless of where that data lives, and Evidently supports bringing that vision to life at the point of care by embedding intelligence directly into everyday workflows, helping care teams spend less time searching the record and more time focused on our patients."
“As we scale this deployment, we’re continuing to uncover new opportunities to apply clinical intelligence across specialties and settings,” said Vineeta Khemani. “Evidently has been a true partner—building new capabilities and advancing integration with UNC Health’s EHR to support the way our teams work.”
