At GI Partners of Illinois, we strive to enhance patient care and empower physicians with impactful and innovative tools. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Acucare, an innovative AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize how healthcare data is understood and used.
This collaboration marks an important milestone: GI Partners of Illinois becomes the only independent gastroenterology group in the state using Acucare’s advanced technology. We are reimagining the future of GI care, and excitement is high.
Why Partnership with Acucare Matters
Working in a clinical setting can be overwhelming. Providers often face pages of EHR (Electronic Health Records) data, complicated workflows, and constant compliance requirements while trying to stay focused on what matters most – the patient.
Acucare is built to solve this problem.
Their platform leverages artificial intelligence to convert EHR (electronic health record) data into actionable insights. This enables providers to make faster and more informed decisions at the point of care. This means less time spent searching for information and more time delivering personalized and better care.
For us, it is all about enhancing efficiency, supporting our physicians, and improving outcomes for the patients we serve daily.
Meet Acucare’s AI Co-Pilots
Acucare’s platform consists of three smart “co-pilots”, AI-powered tools designed to address some of the most persistent challenges in specialty care:
🧠 Acucare’s Prax – Clinical Intelligence in Real-Time
Prax brings patient-specific clinical insights directly to the point of care. Instead of spending valuable minutes digging through charts or notes, providers get a concise, clear picture of what they need to know instantly. From lab trends to past procedures, Prax makes data work for you.
📑 Acucare’s Adra – Prior Authorizations Made Simple
Adra is like having an expert admin assistant on call 24/7. It automates prior authorizations and ensures documentation is compliant with specialty society guidelines. That means fewer delays, faster approvals, and far less time spent on paperwork.
🔬 Acucare’s Nova – Your Connection to Clinical Trials
Nova bridges the gap between specialty practices and clinical trials. It identifies eligible patients in real-time and automates trial-matching. This helps providers offer cutting-edge care options while creating new revenue opportunities and advancing medical research.
What This Means for Our Patients and Providers
Partnering with Acucare isn’t just about adopting new technology. It is about transforming the way we practice medicine.
Here’s how this partnership benefits our entire care ecosystem:
- Improved Patient Care: With faster access to insights, we can spend more time focusing on our patients and less on data entry or document chasing.
- Less Administrative Burden: Automating routine processes like prior authorizations frees up our staff and physicians to focus on clinical work.
- Smarter Growth: The platform supports scalability, helping us grow intelligently while maintaining our high standards of care.
- Better Clinical Outcomes: With real-time alerts and evidence-based insights, our physicians can make more informed and proactive decisions.
As Dr. Geogy Vennikandam, our Chief Operating Officer, puts it: “This technology will allow us to scale intelligently, improve clinical performance, and continue putting our patients and providers first.”
A Step Forward for Independent GI Practices
Being an independent physician-led GI group in Illinois gives us the freedom to innovate, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. By partnering with Acucare, we’re demonstrating that specialty care can be both technologically advanced and deeply personal. We’re proud to lead the way in Illinois, setting a new standard for how gastroenterology groups can use AI to deliver better care with greater efficiency.
Looking Ahead
The integration of Acucare’s platform is already underway, and we’re eager to share more updates as the tools become embedded in our day-to-day workflows. In the meantime, we invite our patients, partners, and peers to stay tuned as we continue to lead with innovation and patient-centered care at the core of everything we do.
