An Open Letter to EHRs: The AI Standard Has Been Set. The Time to Act Is Now.

 

The ground just shifted beneath us.

After last week’s announcement from the largest EHR vendor, AI-powered documentation isn’t just an option, it’s the new baseline expectation. Hospitals and practices are already reevaluating their renewal decisions, asking one simple question:

“Does my EHR have this — or do I need to switch?”

This isn’t a future problem. It’s here, right now.

The Stakes Have Changed: It’s Win or Lose for Independent EHRs

For independent, regional, and specialty EHRs, the challenge is bigger than “keeping up.” Clinicians expect speed, accuracy, and seamless workflows, and now they expect it in every language their patients speak.

Here’s the reality:

  • Patients are multilingual. More than 1 in 5 U.S. households speaks a language other than English.
  • Clinical conversations are complex. Heavy accents, fast-paced dialogues, and medical jargon collide in every encounter.
  • Documentation expectations have shifted. Providers want their EHR to listen, understand, and interpret these real-world interactions flawlessly.

If your platform can’t deliver, your competitors will.

Why Building Your Own Isn’t a Strategy. It’s a Risk

Yes, AI is the future. But creating a medical-grade AI documentation engine from scratch? That path is paved with delays and failures:

  • $1-5M+ average development cost for custom-built AI scribes.
  • 80% of AI ventures fail before reaching production (RAND, 2024).
  • 12-24+ months of dev time — while customer churn accelerates.

The market won’t wait — and neither will your customers.

Why EHRs Can’t Wait Any Longer
