Atlantic Health and K Health launch innovative AI platform to improve access to care across New Jersey. PR contact: Atlantic Health PR Team Atlantic Health PatientGPT - New Jersey's first AI-enabled digital front door delivers trusted, personalized health guidance and connects patients to a clinician when they need one MORRISTOWN, NJ - AUGUST 11, 2026 - Atlantic Health, a fully integrated health system setting standards for quality care in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New York metropolitan area, and K Health, a leader in AI-enabled care delivery, today announced the launch of two transformative innovations: Atlantic Health PatientGPT, a first-of-its-kind clinical AI tool that helps patients understand their health, find the right level of care and connect directly to Atlantic Health clinicians, and Virtual Primary Care, convenient, any time access to trusted primary care physicians. Atlantic Health PatientGPT does far more than answer general health questions. It is integrated with the health system's electronic health record and patient portal, delivering trusted, personalized health information grounded in each patient's medical profile. Atlantic Health PatientGPT helps individuals explore and better understand symptoms and health concerns. Designed with convenience in mind, the tool seamlessly connects with Atlantic Health services and care teams, and when needed, empowers individuals to schedule same-day, same-hour appointments with Atlantic Health Virtual Primary Care in just a few clicks. Together, Atlantic Health PatientGPT and Virtual Primary Care form a connected digital front door to Atlantic Health, creating a centralized starting point for patients to begin by asking a health question and be guided all the way through to receiving the care they need. As the first platform of its kind in New Jersey, it expands access while providing trusted guidance for a coordinated healthcare journey. As Atlantic Health continually strives to meet patients in ways most easily accessible to them, these new technologies also allow the system to achieve operational and clinical efficiencies. Not only are patients able to connect to Atlantic Health without the need of a physical location, but they are conveniently and quickly connected to those services most appropriate for their unique needs. "The best use of AI in healthcare makes care more human, not less," said Saad Ehtisham, President and CEO, Atlantic Health. "Technology should strengthen the connection between patients and clinicians, reduce barriers to care and help people get the right care at the right time. These innovations reflect our commitment to making care more accessible while enhancing consumer experience, and they are a meaningful step toward our vision of becoming a national leader in healthcare." "PatientGPT is a game changer in how patients get high-quality answers to their health and lifestyle questions. It's grounded in their own medical record and connected end-to-end into Atlantic Health's care delivery system," said Allon Bloch, co-founder and CEO of K Health. "This changes how patients access high-quality medicine, whether the need is acute, chronic or preventive, and provides 24/7 support from everyday care to complex needs." "Trust is the whole game in clinical AI. Patients and clinicians have to know the technology is safe before it can be useful," said Ran Shaul, co-founder and chief product officer at K Health. "PatientGPT is now live across multiple leading health systems, and every deployment is built on the same foundation: clinical grounding, clinician-led decisioning and policy documentation" Atlantic Health PatientGPT is launching in an introductory "beta phase" and will roll out gradually to users across New Jersey over the next few months. It does not replace physician care, but rather, supports a patient's ability to be actively involved in their own care. How Atlantic Health PatientGPT works: * Trusted, personalized guidance: Patients ask questions in everyday language and receive information tailored to their situation rather than generic search results. * Integrated with MyChart: The experience connects to patients' medical records, drawing on relevant context to give more meaningful responses. * Right care, right time: Atlantic Health PatientGPT helps patients understand the most appropriate level of care for what they're experiencing. * Seamless connection to a clinician: When treatments and appointments are appropriate, patients connect directly to an Atlantic Health clinician, including through Atlantic Health Virtual Primary Care.

Innovaccer named a Leader in the inaugural Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Healthcare Provider Industry Cloud Platforms. Positioned highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision among all vendors evaluated in the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Healthcare Provider Industry Cloud Platforms By Team Innovaccer July 29, 2026 SAN FRANCISCO, CA - July 29, 2026 - Innovaccer, the autonomous operations platform for healthcare, today announced it has been named a Leader in the inaugural 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Healthcare Provider Industry Cloud Platforms. The recognition arrives at a moment when most health systems and payers are still struggling to move AI beyond pilots and into enterprise workflows, despite heavy investment and mounting pressure to show ROI. Most AI investments fail because they lack a unified context to act. With this Magic Quadrant, Innovaccer Inc. believe that Gartner is formally recognizing the "unified data and AI layer" as a category. Innovaccer has spent over a decade building towards the foundation that healthcare organizations need to make AI-driven autonomous operations real. Download a complimentary copy of the report here. "To us, being named a Leader in the first Gartner Magic Quadrant in this space reflects our belief that healthcare's administrative complexity is an infrastructure problem that requires rebuilding the data foundation on which AI runs," said Abhinav Shashank, CEO and Co-Founder of Innovaccer. "The organizations trusted in this decade are not adding more point solutions to an already fragmented stack. They are building toward reimagining work with autonomous operations where AI executes the work that doesn't require human judgment, returning more capacity and resources to patient care. In our opinion, this recognition from Gartner validates that Gravity is the platform on which that future gets built." At Innovaccer, its focus has been to give healthcare organizations the data foundation and agentic AI infrastructure to move from fragmented pilots to enterprise-wide autonomous operations. Its innovation pillars are: A unified healthcare data foundation that eliminates the integration problem: Gravity ingests and normalizes clinical, claims, financial, and operational data across every major EHR, payer system, and data source through more than 100 pre-built connectors and 6,000 data quality rules. Organizations stop rebuilding the foundation for every new use case and start compounding value on top of one trusted data layer. Purpose-built AI agents that execute real healthcare work: Gravity deploys pre-built AI agents across the workflows that consume the most administrative capacity in healthcare - prior authorization, care gap closure, patient access, revenue cycle management, and population health. These are not insight tools. They execute work, with human review configurable at every step for the decisions that require clinical judgment. Enterprise governance built into the architecture: Every AI workflow in Gravity runs inside a zero-trust governance framework with mandatory model impact assessments, always-on PHI redaction, role-based access controls, and nanosecond-stamped audit logs. Governance is not layered on after deployment - it is structural, so health systems and payers can scale AI with confidence across their entire enterprise. Optimus Healthcare Partners, an ACO partnered with Atlantic Health System, connecting 100+ disparate physician EMRs into a unified data foundation to drive a 27% improvement in quality gap closure and a 20%+ improvement in HCC accuracy, realizing nearly $15 million in projected annual value. Franciscan Health achieved a 23% higher conversion rate from call to appointment and a 7.7% increase in primary care visits per month. And Longitude Rx, co-developing a 340B optimization solution on Gravity, is tracking an estimated 2-7% increase in 340B capture alongside a 30% reduction in prior authorization cycle time. The recognition follows Innovaccer's expansion of Gravity's agentic capabilities with the release of its Agent Studio and Healthcare Model Context Protocol (HMCP), which lets organizations orchestrate autonomous workflows across EHRs and other systems of record. With more than 50 pre-built healthcare AI agents and a Healthcare Knowledge Graph that powers enterprise-wide population health analytics, Gravity gives health systems, payers, life sciences companies, and government health agencies the foundation to move from AI exploration to AI execution across their organizations.

Exclusive: medical orgs slapped with complaint for alleged discriminatory hiring practices. July 28, 2026 Do No Harm alleges that these two organizations are in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race-based hiring practices. Skye Graham Medical advocacy organization Do No Harm filed complaints Tuesday against Atlantic Health System and Nemours Children's Health, alleging discriminatory DEI practices. The complaints, filed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (HHS-OCR), accused these organizations of race-based hiring practices that may violate federal anti-discrimination laws. Atlantic Health's Minority Visiting Clerkship Program (MVCP) for fourth-year medical students is a program specifically for groups "underrepresented in medicine." According to Atlantic Health, these groups include "African American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native." "Students selected to participate are awarded inpatient residency rotations, an interview for full-time residency after medical school, mentorship, and valuable networking opportunities with hospital staff," according to a Do No Harm (DNH) press release obtained by The Federalist. Similarly, Nemours Children's Visiting Student Scholar Program is limited to those "underrepresented in medicine as any racial, ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, or ability status group whose numbers in medicine are not reflective of that group's population of the United States." Therefore, only members of minority groups qualify for this program, which offers a stipend, several rotation options, and networking opportunities. DNH alleges that these two organizations are in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race-based hiring practices. As nonprofits that take federal funds, both organizations are prohibited under Title VI from race-based preferential treatment. DNH also alleges that these organizations are in violation of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, a provision which prevents healthcare organizations from engaging in discrimination. "These programs are especially important for fourth-year medical students, offering meaningful clinical training experiences, while also giving students the chance to showcase their skills at potential future residency sites," DNH Chief Medical Officer Kurt Miceli told The Federalist. "One's race has no bearing on whether he or she is able to provide high-quality care." This is not the first time DNH has sued medical organizations for racial discrimination practices. In May of last year, DNH filed suit against the medical school at the University of California, Los Angeles, for allegedly maintaining race-based admissions after the Supreme Court overturned affirmative action. The Department of Justice (DOJ) backed the suit this January by filing to intervene. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has pursued investigations into several other medical schools and organizations over alleged DEI admissions practices. The division recently announced an investigation into over 15 medical schools for racial discrimination The Federalist reached out to Atlantic Health System and Nemours Children's Health for comment outside working hours, but they have not responded to the request. Skye Graham is an intern at The Federalist. She is a senior History major at Hillsdale College and serves as the assistant features editor for the Hillsdale Collegian.
