HonorHealth Selects the Qventus AI Solution Factory to Co-Develop AI Solutions that Improve Margins

After years of enterprise-wide deployment and sustained ROI across perioperative and inpatient care, HonorHealth deepens its Qventus partnership with the AI Solution Factory

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qventus, the leader in AI-powered automated care operations, today announced that HonorHealth is the latest client of the AI Solution Factory, a co-development partnership model for building custom AI solutions. This marks a significant milestone in a partnership that has steadily expanded across HonorHealth's enterprise, driven at each stage by demonstrated, sustained ROI. The announcement follows the trend of health systems consolidating around one AI platform partner to automate care operations. In the past year, several Qventus clients have expanded their partnership, and nearly half of all clients have more than one Qventus solution powering their system.

Many health systems today operate on margins of just 1-2%. With labor shortages, staff burnout, and declining reimbursements compounding the pressure, every minute of provider time and every dollar of margin matter. Healthcare leaders are responding to these challenges by moving away from fragmented point solutions that demand additional IT resources, instead partnering with consolidated AI platforms that automate entire workflows from end to end. Nearly three-quarters of healthcare executives are seeking to co-develop tailored solutions with a trusted, best-in-class partner rather than stitch together patchwork tools. HonorHealth turned to Qventus to be that partner – a critical part of their technology stack for automating care operations across the enterprise.

“Qventus provides technology solutions that support key workflows within HonorHealth’s technology environment,” said Kim Post, DNP, MBA, RN, EVP and COO, HonorHealth. “Every year, our benchmarks improve, our processes get more efficient, and we find new opportunities to optimize care operations because Qventus is continuously learning alongside us. Each solution we’ve deployed has reinforced our confidence to go deeper, and the AI Solution Factory gives us the ability to take that partnership further – co-developing solutions that address our specific challenges in ways no off-the-shelf tool ever could.”

In a world where new AI platform vendors emerge daily, Qventus takes a novel approach to how it partners with clients, with an emphasis on speed to value. Qventus's AI transformation team is embedded on-site, working closely with a health system's frontline and IT teams to identify and prioritize use cases based on that system's specific opportunities and challenges. Regardless of use case, the co-development model is squarely focused on delivering ROI – and delivering it quickly. That ROI comes in the form of increased staff productivity, increased contribution margin, or reduced costs.

“What sets Qventus apart is their deep understanding of healthcare operations: the culture, the workflows, the stakes,” said Jim Whitfill, MD, EVP, Strategy, Transformation and Digital, HonorHealth. “That depth of knowledge is what makes this collaboration work. Health systems are under enormous pressure to find efficiencies that protect the margins that fund the services our communities depend on, and Qventus helps us do exactly that.”

The Qventus AI Solution Factory allows health systems to co-develop custom AI teammates that can listen, speak, read, write, understand, and act — incorporating structured and unstructured data to anticipate the most effective next steps and take autonomous action within existing EHR workflows. Each new capability builds on what's already embedded, tested, and trusted. The result is a purpose-built AI engine that reduces the administrative burden on staff, creates capacity, and drives strategic, same-store growth.

"The pressure on AI and EHR vendors to deliver real value from AI, not just new capabilities, continues to increase," added Mudit Garg, Co-founder and CEO, Qventus. "The desire to co-develop bespoke AI solutions and the mandate for ROI is why we built the AI Solution Factory, and why we structured it entirely around speed to value. Building an agent is easy. Operationalizing it for highly specific healthcare workflows, ensuring adoption, and actually creating ROI is the hard part. Advancements in AI have opened up so much low-hanging fruit that health systems can go after, and we built this co-development model to help our clients capture it fast."
