New Partnership Combines Expert Hospital Care Coordination Process Design with AI-Powered Clinical Data Intelligence to Drive Sustainable Quality & Revenue

PALO ALTO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 6, 2026 / Evidently, the leader in Clinical Data Intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with Sholder Healthcare, a consultancy of nationally-recognized experts pioneering hospital care coordination process & methodology focused on reducing length of stay, readmissions, and denials. The partnership integrates Sholder Healthcare's ProActive Care Throughput (PACT) Model operational framework for hospital care coordination with Evidently's AI-powered, best-in-class chart summarization and Clinical Data Intelligence to supercharge inpatient workflows and reduce length of stay, readmissions, and denials.

"The industry is learning a hard lesson: installing AI on top of broken hospital care coordination workflows isn't a formula for transformation - you just digitize dysfunction," said Teri Sholder, RN, MHA, CEO of Sholder Healthcare. "Our partnership with Evidently changes that equation. We use human expertise to design durable process, and we use Clinical Data Intelligence as a force multiplier to accelerate & sustain it. This isn't just about advising hospitals; it's about working alongside their teams to implement a sustainable model that delivers lasting results."

Supercharging Care Coordinators, Not Replacing Them

The Evidently x Sholder partnership marries the core pillars of the PACT Model - a structured care coordination framework, early GMLOS alignment, dynamic care coordination pathways, integrated documentation workflows, and outcome-based post-acute partnerships - with Evidently's unique approach to AI chart summarization that equips care coordinators with a clear longitudinal understanding of the whole patient record. From fragmented structured data in the EHR like labs, meds, and vitals, to unstructured data like provider notes, scanned documents, and faxes. And even data trapped in external systems like Care Everywhere and other HIEs.

The result is a hybrid human-and-AI approach focused on holistically supercharging hospital care coordination for health systems across the United States with re-engineered processes and Evidently Clinical Data Intelligence embedded directly into the EHR and the workflows care coordinators rely on.

"We think the best application of AI is in supercharging clinicians, not replacing them," said Kalie Dove Maguire, President and Chief Product Officer of Evidently. "And ensuring a solid foundation of process for inpatient teams is always the right first step to amplifying the potential of a clinical team. Our partnership with Sholder Healthcare equips health systems with the incredible wealth of knowledge and proven process that Teri Sholder and the Sholder Healthcare team bring."

Reducing Length of Stay and Readmissions Through Durable Process and Insight at the Speed of Thought

The partnership addresses the unique set of challenges facing hospital care coordination teams, combining the unique strengths of Sholder Healthcare and Evidently. Leveraging a deep understanding of the patient record to flag discharge barriers such as therapy or imaging delays in real-time, enhancing documentation accuracy & defensibility, and deeply understanding social, functional, and clinical utilization data to reduce readmission risks equip care coordinators with the insight they need.
