TLDR: Suki, a prominent healthcare AI company, has launched an inaugural nursing consortium with several leading health systems, including McLeod Health, Citizens Memorial, Boone Health, and Fisher-Titus. The initiative aims to tackle the severe administrative burden and widespread burnout among nurses by developing ‘Suki for Nurses,’ an AI-powered solution designed to streamline documentation and integrate with major electronic health records (EHRs) like Epic, MEDITECH, and Oracle Health. This collaboration also includes a partnership with AvaSure to incorporate ambient documentation into virtual care solutions.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – October 8, 2025 – Suki, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare, today announced the formation of a groundbreaking nursing consortium alongside a coalition of prominent health systems. This strategic initiative is designed to directly address the escalating administrative burden and pervasive burnout that are significantly impacting frontline nurses nationwide, contributing to a projected exodus of healthcare professionals.
The consortium’s primary focus is the development of ‘Suki for Nurses,’ a specialized AI solution tailored to the unique workflows of nursing. This innovative platform will seamlessly integrate with leading electronic health record (EHR) systems, including Epic, MEDITECH, and Oracle Health, with the goal of streamlining daily tasks and dramatically improving efficiency for nurses. Initial solutions will target commonly used forms and flowsheets, such as patient assessments and admission and intake forms, enabling nurses to reclaim valuable time and enhance their focus on direct patient care.
In a related development, Suki also announced a partnership with AvaSure, a leader in AI-powered virtual care solutions. AvaSure will leverage Suki’s advanced technology platform to incorporate ambient documentation capabilities into its existing solution set, further extending the reach of AI to support clinical workflows.
The inaugural nursing consortium brings together a diverse group of healthcare experts from various EHR environments. Founding members include McLeod Health (Epic), rural providers Citizens Memorial and Boone Health (MEDITECH), and Fisher-Titus (Oracle Health), with additional health systems expected to join. This broad representation underscores Suki’s commitment to enhancing clinician well-being across the entire healthcare ecosystem, not just within a single system or workflow.
The launch comes at a critical juncture for the healthcare industry. Reports indicate that more than half of U.S. healthcare workers are expected to seek new roles next year, with over one in four nurses specifically citing burnout and chronic understaffing as major drivers of this trend. By advancing its AI capabilities to directly address the most time-consuming administrative tasks, Suki aims to mitigate this escalating crisis.
Punit Soni, CEO and Founder of Suki, emphasized the collaborative approach: “By collaborating with innovative health systems across the country, we’re gaining invaluable insight into nursing workflows from every angle of healthcare.” Previous studies have demonstrated Suki’s ability to reduce documentation time by 41% to 72% and save clinicians an average of six hours of after-hours work per week, highlighting the potential for significant impact on nurse satisfaction and retention.

Suki’s overarching mission is to reimagine the healthcare technology stack, making it invisible and assistive to lift the administrative burden from clinicians. This new nursing consortium represents a pivotal step in redefining the daily experience for nurses, allowing them to dedicate more time and energy to what matters most: patient care.
