Athelas Launches AI-Integrated EHR with Ambient Scribing and RCM Automation

Healthcare technology company Athelas, powered by Commure, has announced the launch of Athelas AIR, a next-generation electronic health record system designed to transform how health systems and practices operate nationwide. The platform represents a fundamental departure from traditional EHR systems by embedding artificial intelligence and revenue cycle management capabilities directly into its core architecture.

Unlike legacy EHR systems that primarily digitized paper-based workflows, Athelas AIR reimagines the entire provider experience from the ground up. The platform integrates billing, charting, and ambient AI into a unified system, enabling providers to improve margins, reduce administrative burden, and dedicate more time to patient care.

"What we're left with today are systems that are digital, yes, but clunky, inefficient, and time-consuming," said Tanay Tandon, CEO of Athelas, addressing the limitations of current EHR systems. The company's approach with AIR focuses on simplifying care delivery, boosting operational efficiency, and enhancing financial outcomes through intelligent automation.

Athelas AIR functions as a consolidated infrastructure managing both clinical and administrative workflows through a single platform. The system's key capabilities include:

• Native integration with revenue cycle management and ambient documentation solutions

• AI-powered automations designed to reduce administrative burdens

• Real-time analytics to inform care and business decisions

• Scalable architecture supporting long-term practice growth

The platform connects seamlessly within the Athelas ecosystem, combining EHR, RCM, and ambient documentation tools into a single, intelligent workflow. This integration eliminates the need for multiple disparate systems and reduces the complexity healthcare providers face when managing different aspects of their practice.

Market response to Athelas AIR has been strong, with over 100 clients scheduled for onboarding this year. This rapid adoption suggests significant demand for more integrated and intelligent healthcare technology solutions among providers seeking to modernize their operations.

Athelas is positioning AIR beyond just an improved EHR system. The company envisions it as the foundation of a fully integrated healthcare operating system that unites clinical documentation, financial management, and AI intelligence. This comprehensive approach aims to drive performance improvements across the entire continuum of care, from patient interactions to backend revenue operations.

The launch of Athelas AIR comes at a time when healthcare providers increasingly seek technology solutions that can address both clinical and financial pressures while reducing the documentation burden that has become a major source of provider burnout.
