The first unified acute care operating system combines four mission-critical workflows to help hospitals capture the full value of patient care.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cleo Health announced the official debut of its Acute Care OS at HIMSS 2026 this week in Las Vegas, a first-of-its-kind platform unifying Charge Capture, Real-Time Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), Ambient Documentation, and Automated Patient Assignments within a single AI-driven workflow.
The acute care environment has long been defined by fragmented point solutions that force clinicians to toggle between disparate tools, create redundant administrative work, and leave revenue on the table. Cleo’s Acute Care OS addresses these challenges directly, consolidating core operational and revenue cycle functions of the inpatient stay into one interface that fits naturally within existing clinical workflows.
The platform spans four key capabilities: Automated Patient Assignments, which uses rules-based logic to streamline list splits and maintain unit flow; Ambient Documentation, which saves providers more than 54 minutes of charting time per shift; Charge Capture, which modernizes legacy, click-heavy data entry; and Real-Time CDI, which replaces retrospective review with intelligent queries that support diagnostic specificity at the point of care.
Early results underscore the impact: an estimated $243 saved per inpatient stay, a 94% reduction in perceived documentation burden, and an industry-leading 2025 Net Promoter Score of 72.
“When my cofounders and I started Cleo, our goal was to use AI across acute care to solve complex problems that had long been accepted as the status quo,” said David Hidalgo-Gato, CEO and co-founder of Cleo Health. “Hospitals are among the most dynamic environments in healthcare, requiring constant coordination across clinical and operational teams from admission through discharge. With Acute Care OS, we are committed to bringing clarity and intelligence to that complexity, helping clinicians save time while improving accuracy and outcomes. Debuting this platform at HIMSS is an exciting milestone for our team and an important step forward for the industry.”
The platform delivers across every stakeholder in the hospital. Clinicians gain a unified interface that replaces fragmented tools and eliminates after-the-fact documentation rework. Administrators benefit from automated patient assignments that cut operational friction. And health systems see stronger CMI performance, improved revenue integrity, and reduced vendor complexity.
“Historically, hospitals have operated under the assumption that accurate documentation and efficient workflows are at odds with each other,” said Patrick Hunt, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Cleo Health. “Acute Care OS changes that. Embedding real-time CDI and charge capture directly into the clinician’s workflow encourages specificity at the point of care and eliminates retrospective queries that divert clinician attention from the bedside. It is better for patients, better for clinicians, and better for the health system’s bottom line.”
Health systems, provider groups, and clinicians can experience the Acute Care OS firsthand at the Cleo booth during HIMSS 2026, or request a meeting at cleohealth.io.
