Join 250+ healthcare providers with streamlined workflows and reduced administrative burden
The "Fragmented Communication" Problem
Endless manual updates on patient status across shifts, leading to 20-30% error rates in handoff communications per AHRQ studies
HIPAA compliance risks from unsecured PHI sharing in Teams, exposing practices to fines up to $50,000 per violation
Delayed specialist referrals due to scattered EHR appointment notifications, resulting in 15% average wait times exceeding 30 days
Overwhelmed clinical staff juggling EHR data entry and ad-hoc team chats, contributing to clinician burnout rates of 50% per AMA surveys
Missed post-discharge follow-ups from unorganized channel discussions, increasing readmission rates by 10-15% under CMS penalties
Regulatory audit prep bogged down by manual reviews of PHI access logs, consuming 40+ hours per HITECH audit cycle
Our Custom-Built Teams Automation Transforms Chaos into Precision
With over a decade of healthcare AI integrations, we've empowered 150+ practices to own their workflows, not rent them.

What Makes Us Different:
Reclaim Time for What Matters: Patient Care
Slash Administrative Hours by 25%
Slash Administrative Hours by 25%: Practices using our automations report saving 10-15 hours weekly on routine SBAR handoff communications. Nurses focus on bedside rounds, not chasing EHR updates. This efficiency boost translates to a 35% productivity gain, freeing staff for direct patient interactions amid rising caseloads from aging populations.
Achieve 3x Faster ROI Through Cost Reductions
Achieve 3x Faster ROI Through Cost Reductions: Manual processes drain resources—our solutions cut overtime by 40% and reduce error-related rework from documentation gaps. For a mid-sized primary care practice with 20 providers, that's $50,000+ annual savings on staffing, with full implementation in under 90 days. Enterprise-grade reliability ensures long-term value without subscription traps, aligning with MIPS reporting requirements.
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Headache
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Headache: Built-in encryption and audit trails automate PHI handling and breach notifications, minimizing risks that plague 1 in 5 practices yearly per HHS reports. Teams becomes a secure hub for care team collaboration, not a vulnerability, allowing seamless integration with EHRs while meeting ONC certification demands head-on.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our night shift was buried in Teams messages trying to track patient transfers during peak flu season—it was chaos, especially with our 24/7 urgent care setup handling 150+ visits daily. Their custom bot now auto-summarizes SBAR handoffs from our Epic EHR, cutting our coordination time from 2 hours to 20 minutes per shift. We've avoided two potential HIPAA compliance slips in the last six months related to unsecured PHI shares, and our staff morale is way up with reduced burnout."
Dr. Elena Vasquez
Chief Nursing Officer, Riverside Urgent Care Clinic
"HIPAA audits used to take our small team a full week of digging through chat logs for PHI access trails in Cerner. AIQ's automation flags sensitive data shares in real-time and generates OCR-ready reports for HITECH compliance. In the first quarter after rollout, we saved 12 hours on prep and passed with zero findings, even under increased scrutiny from recent OCR settlements. It's like having an extra compliance officer without the salary."
Mark Thompson
Chief Information Officer, Horizon Community Health Center
"With 15 providers juggling cardiology referrals, missed notifications were costing us follow-ups and triggering CMS readmission penalties. Their Teams integration auto-notifies based on patient acuity scores from our Allscripts EHR, and we've seen a 28% drop in no-shows over three months, boosting our patient satisfaction scores by 15 points. The custom setup fit our workflow perfectly—no generic templates here, just tailored alerts for high-risk cases."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your Teams automation ensure HIPAA compliance?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in healthcare, so we embed compliance from the start. Our automations use end-to-end encryption for all data flows, role-based access controls to limit PHI exposure, and automated logging of every interaction. For instance, bots only share de-identified summaries unless explicitly authorized. We've audited systems against HHS guidelines, achieving zero vulnerabilities in client deployments. This proactive approach not only meets standards but reduces breach risks by 50%, based on industry benchmarks from practices we've served. Implementation includes a compliance checklist tailored to your state regs.
What kind of time savings can a small medical practice expect?
For a typical 10-provider practice, our custom automations reclaim 12-18 hours weekly from manual tasks like status updates and notifications. Consider shift changes: Instead of 30 minutes per handoff across teams, AI summarizes EHR data in seconds. Over a year, that's 600+ hours redirected to patient care. ROI kicks in fast—clients see 25% cost reductions in the first quarter through less overtime and errors. We base projections on your workflow audit, ensuring realistic gains like the 40% efficiency boost reported by similar urgent care centers.
Is this automation compatible with our existing EHR system?
Absolutely—compatibility is core to our approach. We specialize in integrating Microsoft Teams with popular EHRs like Epic, Cerner, or Athenahealth via secure APIs. No data silos: Patient info flows bidirectionally, triggering Teams alerts for lab results or admissions. For a recent family clinic client, we synced their EHR in under two weeks, automating 80% of referral comms. If your setup is custom, our engineers handle it without disrupting operations. This unified view eliminates the double-entry drudgery that wastes 20% of staff time in non-integrated practices.
How long does it take to implement the custom automation?
We streamline rollout to minimize downtime—most practices go live in 4-6 weeks. Phase one: A 1-week audit maps your needs. Then, 2-3 weeks for building and testing the core automations, like patient handoff bots. Final week: Training and go-live with parallel monitoring. For a mid-sized group, we recently completed this in 28 days, with zero workflow interruptions. Post-launch, we optimize based on usage data, ensuring quick wins like 15-hour weekly savings from day one. It's built for your pace, not ours.
What if our practice grows—will the system scale?
Scalability is engineered in from the outset. Unlike rigid no-code tools, our custom code handles volume spikes—think adding providers or expanding to telehealth—without performance dips. We use modular architectures that support 5x user growth seamlessly. A client scaling from 20 to 50 staff saw no slowdowns, maintaining 99.9% uptime during peak flu season. As your practice evolves, we add features like advanced analytics or new integrations at a fraction of rebuild costs, preserving your ROI long-term.
Can we own the automation, or is it subscription-based?
Full ownership is our hallmark—no endless subscriptions. We deliver the source code and infrastructure as your asset, deployable on your servers or cloud. This ends the 'tool juggling' that costs SMB practices $10K+ yearly in fees. For one clinic, transitioning to ownership saved 60% over two years while boosting reliability. You control updates, data, and customizations, with our optional support for maintenance. It's freedom from vendor dependencies, tailored for healthcare's need for secure, owned systems.
