As we welcome the new year, we’re grateful for our clients, partners, and team who made the past year one of growth, collaboration, and meaningful impact. Together, we’ve continued advancing healthcare operations, strengthening revenue cycle performance, and supporting organizations in delivering better patient care. Here’s to a new year filled with innovation, progress, and continued partnership. We look forward to what’s ahead and to achieving even more—together.
🎄 We’re excited to share the successful completion of our 4th Annual e4health Holiday Drive! This year, we were honored once again to sponsor FFAN (Foster Family Assistance Network)—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting foster families in need.
🌟 Because of the generosity of our team, 50 children received holiday support, helping make the season a little brighter for families who need it most.
One of our core values at e4health is “Our people make the difference.” The ongoing success of our holiday drive is a powerful reminder that this value extends far beyond the workplace. It shows up in how our people care for their communities, step up for those in need, and work together to create meaningful impact. Thank you to everyone who contributed time, donations, and heart to make this possible. We’re proud of the difference our people continue to make—both at work and in the communities we serve. 👍
🌟 We’re thrilled to share that e4health has announced strategic senior leadership appointments designed to strengthen alignment with our operations, market presence, and long-term growth strategy. These changes reflect our commitment to accountability, innovation, and continued excellence as a trusted partner to health systems nationwide.
🌟In his recent For The Record article, e4health's Todd Goughnour, MBA, RHIA highlights why health information management (HIM) expertise is critical to successful AI adoption in healthcare. From data governance to integrity and standards, HIM professionals play a key role in ensuring AI tools are built on accurate, trustworthy information.
💡The takeaway: before investing in advanced technology, healthcare organizations must first invest in data quality and accountability—or risk undermining patient safety, outcomes, and ROI.
📃 Unpredictability can derail clinical data abstraction during EHR transitions. In this new case study, Patricia Ward, BSN, RN, Clinical Data Abstraction Director at e4health, shares how a major health system stabilized abstraction under pressure—moving from three days behind to two weeks ahead of go-live and processing 15,000+ records.
✅ Along with the case study, you’ll get a Clinical Data Abstraction Planning Checklist with practical steps to help you prepare for variability, scale effectively, and stay on track.

Healthcare IT leaders know that integrating data across EHRs is still a major challenge. In a recent Healthcare IT Today article, e4health’s Tim Brennan chimed in with a key point: much of the struggle comes from legacy data brought in during acquisitions or EHR transitions. If that data isn’t validated and cleaned, it creates long-term quality and trust issues for clinicians.
A good reminder that integration isn’t just connecting systems - it’s ensuring the data is truly usable.
