New Infrastructure Enables AI-Assisted Workflows for Clinicians Directly Within the EHR
PLEASANTON, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI—CharmHealth, a leader in healthcare technology solutions for providers, today announced the availability of its model context protocol (MCP) server, a foundational addition to its AI strategy that enables safe, structured AI access to electronic health record (EHR) data. The MCP server provides a secure, standardized interface between AI applications and EHR data, allowing for clinicians and care teams to benefit from AI-assisted workflows within existing clinical systems. By embedding AI as core infrastructure rather than an add-on, CharmHealth is advancing a more practical, governed approach to AI adoption with the EHR.
“CharmHealth’s vision is to deliver meaningful offerings that actively support clinicians, staff and care teams, and where AI can become a partner in care,” said Pramila Srinivasan, Ph.D., CEO of CharmHealth. “With our MCP server, AI tools can now work directly and responsibly with CharmHealth data through standardized, secure interfaces. This results in an improved user experience designed around providing the highest standard of care as we drive the entire healthcare system forward.”
CharmHealth’s latest advancement responds to a significant pain point identified by the CharmHealth team. Traditional EHR integration requires developers to master extensive API documentation and build complex custom connectors for each application. CharmHealth’s MCP server, however, reduces this barrier by allowing large language models (LLMs) to interpret natural language requests and translate them into secure, structured interactions with EHR data through standardized tools and schemas.
“We built our MCP server because the future of healthcare isn’t about better software — it’s about software that disappears,” said Jaimon Jose, senior director of engineering at CharmHealth. “Agentic AI will sit alongside clinicians during patient encounters, handling transcription, surfacing critical insights, and catching potential drug interactions in real time. We’re moving beyond integrations to develop the infrastructure for a new generation of healthcare applications, one in which AI handles the complexity so clinicians can maintain laser focus on delivering care.”
Developers can now create AI-powered applications that understand conversational requests rather than precise API calls. This accelerates development timelines and lowers the burden of technical expertise necessary to build sophisticated, highly specific healthcare applications. And notably, all MCP-enabled interactions adhere to CharmHealth’s existing security, permissions and compliance frameworks, ensuring patient data remains protected and auditable.
Putting AI to Work for Providers and Patients
As a core building block of CharmHealth’s AI strategy, its MCP server enables a range of AI-assisted workflows that reduce administrative burden and support clinical decision-making, including:
- Clinical summarization and chart review: AI agents can quickly synthesize patient histories, active diagnoses, current medications, allergies, and recent encounters.
- Context-aware documentation: Applications can access relevant patient context to support more accurate and thorough clinical documentation.
- Operational and administrative assistance: Appointment scheduling, task management, and other administrative functions that traditionally consume provider time can be automated.
- Decision support: AI tools can surface relevant clinical information such as drug interactions, allergies, and lab result trends to support clinician judgment at the point of care.
By providing developers with easy access to a comprehensive set of tools that cover all core EHR functionality, CharmHealth moves one step closer to realizing its vision for an augmented EHR.
