InterSystems launches HealthShare AI Assistant to optimize data retrieval and clinical engagement with conversational intelligence. InterSystems New capability empowers clinicians with faster, safer access to unified patient data InterSystems, a creative data technology provider powering more than 1 billion health records worldwide, today announced the launch of InterSystems HealthShare AI Assistant, a new generative AI capability designed to assist clinicians, case managers, and administrators in accessing and understanding patient information faster and more intuitively. Built on the trusted foundation of InterSystems HealthShare Unified Care Record (UCR), HealthShare AI Assistant introduces a conversational interface that enables users to securely query, summarize, and navigate complex longitudinal health records using natural language prompts. The AI Assistant queries records from thousands of diverse clinical data sources and leverages Generative AI to surface relevant insights and present information using industry-standard displays - empowering users with faster, more intuitive access to comprehensive patient data and key insights. Some key capabilities of HealthShare AI Assistant include: * Conversational Chat Interface - Empowers users to ask clinical questions or request patient summaries in plain language, delivering concise, context-aware insights instantly. * Pre-Built and Custom Prompts - Provides clinically curated starter prompts and enables organizations to build tailored, role-based configurations. * Source Traceability - Connects every AI-generated response to its verified record source, promoting transparency and clinical trust. * Seamless Integration - Operates within the HealthShare Clinical Viewer and Navigation Application keeping the assistant embedded in the user's natural workflow. * Comprehensive Governance - Implements configurable data profiles, role-based access controls, and full audit tracking to support safe, responsible AI use. "AI in healthcare must be grounded in trust, interoperability, and reliable data," said Don Woodlock, head of global healthcare solutions at InterSystems. "With HealthShare AI Assistant, we're giving healthcare professionals a faster and safer way to access the information they need, right from within their existing workflows. It's about reducing cognitive burden, improving efficiency, and letting clinicians focus on caring for patients." HealthShare AI Assistant pilot programs have demonstrated meaningful gains in efficiency and user satisfaction. A usability study run with Healthix, one of the largest public health information exchanges in the United States, showed that the AI Assistant quantitatively improved clinician workflow, reduced time spent reviewing records, and surfaced useful and actionable insights. "Collecting information from 9,000+ facilities for over 21 million patients comes with an abundance of data," said Todd Rogow, CEO at Healthix. "With HealthShare AI Assistant, our clinician users now have a tool to get an instant, clinically validated summary drawn from years of records, delivering a holistic view of a patient's medical history at time of care." HealthShare AI Assistant is part of the broader InterSystems HealthShare suite, which powers data interoperability and connected care across more than 80 countries. The new AI capability is available immediately to HealthShare users in supported regions. For more information, visit www.InterSystems.com/HealthShare.

Royal Orthopaedic Hospital selects InterSystems as EPR supplier. The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital (Credit: The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust) * The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has selected InterSystems as its EPR supplier * It is one of the final trusts without an EPR under NHS England's Frontline Digitisation programme * The EPR programme is expected to begin in 2026 The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (ROH) has selected InterSystems as its electronic patient record (EPR) supplier. ROH is one of the last remaining trusts without an EPR under NHS England's £2bn Frontline Digitisation programme, which aims to ensure that every provider meets a core level of digitisation by March 2026. The trust said that implementation planning is underway with the EPR programme planned for 2026. Matthew Hartland, chief executive at ROH, said: "Selecting InterSystems as its EPR partner is an exciting step forward for its hospital. This partnership will give its teams the digital tools to enhance the outstanding care they deliver. "We're excited about the future and the potential a new EPR offers us to continue improving how we care for people." As the EPR is embedded, paper-based notes and separate databases will progressively be replaced by secure digital records, giving clinicians access to complete patient histories, with the aim of reducing administrative burden and enabling more efficient care. The trust said that procurement process involved engagement with hospital staff, including clinicians who participated in demonstrations, workshops and evaluations to help identify the system best suited to the needs of ROH's patients and staff. Colin Henderson, country manager at InterSystems UKI, said: "Digital Health is delighted to be partnering with ROH on this important phase of their digital journey. "The move to InterSystems TrakCare EPR will help improve information access and exchange and will provide a more harmonised experience for clinical and administrative users. "We look forward to working closely with the ROH to unlock the full potential of their new EPR and help drive meaningful improvements in patient outcomes and operational efficiencies." ROH has a track record of innovation, from pioneering robotic-assisted joint replacements to leading research in regenerative medicine and delivering self-management tools via digital platforms. In February 2024, Gavin Newman, former head of digital transformation at ROH, told Digital Health News that "the dream of the future would be to have a single source of truth in a system from the first referral through to discharge and through to follow-up care", adding "an EPR would provide that for us". The trust has also been working with London-based start-up VitVio to enhance the safety and efficiency of surgical procedures through a pilot programme, launched in January 2025, to install cameras and sensors in operating theatres which integrate with the hospital's existing health information systems. Vivtio's AI algorithms track and analyse aspects of the surgical procedure from tool usage and surgical stages to adherence to safety protocols. Meanwhile, other sites to deploy the InterSystems TrakCare EPR include North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust and Dublin's National Rehabilitation Hospital. In May 2025, NHSE awarded a £13.3m 'tiger teams' contract to KPMG to support trusts which are expected to miss the 2026 government EPR target, including Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching NHS Hospitals FT; Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS FT; Stockport NHS FT; NHS University Hospitals Liverpool Group and University Hospitals Sussex NHS FT.
