Health system supports safer, more consistent triage through automated acuity audits across 700,000+ annual ED visits.
New nurses leaving in their first year has been a huge issue for us and has reduced significantly with KATE. We can audit 100% of our charts automatically, with minimal manual labor, which is a huge time saver for us.

Seeking to proactively protect the health system from regulatory and EMTALA exposure, Adventist Health aimed to audit every patient encounter across its emergency departments. With 719,611 ED visits annually, system leadership identified potential liability gaps. At one site, manual limitations meant they could only validate 3% of cases, despite deploying several nurses to review charts. This gap left the organization vulnerable to compliance risks and necessitated labor-intensive “plans of correction” that diverted clinical staff to administrative tasks.
Adventist Health leveraged Mednition’s Clinical Data Engine (CDE) to replace manual sampling with cohort analysis across the entire patient population. By integrating directly with Oracle Cerner EHR, the system identifies anomalies and compliance risks within seconds rather than months. This native EHR integration acts as a continuous clinical risk intelligence solution, allowing the system to preemptively audit total chart volume without requiring additional headcount or disrupting clinical workflows.
Significant improvements across audit coverage, compliance readiness, and administrative efficiency.
By leveraging Mednition’s Clinical Data Engine, Adventist Health closed the compliance gap, increasing chart audit coverage to 100%. Unlocking this capability effectively streamlined a massive administrative burden — plans of correction that previously required heavy manual lifting now require minimal additional manual labor to execute.
This ensures that if an investigation occurs, the system can instantly demonstrate total population oversight rather than relying on small, subjective sample sizes — protecting the organization from regulatory and EMTALA exposure across 700,000+ annual ED visits.
