SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Everyone agrees AI scribes are increasing health care costs. No one agrees what to do about it
To hear health systems tell the story, artificial intelligence tools like ambient scribes are helping not only reduce doctor burnout, but also increasing payments from insurers that haven’t been compensating them properly. But on insurer earnings calls, the payers position themselves as white knights sounding the alarm on providers using AI to raise health care costs to an unsustainable level.
However, at least behind closed doors, both sides appear to agree that AI scribes are driving up health care costs.
“The investors, the health plans, and the providers, in private, were like, ‘OK, well, it’s quite clear scribes are increasing coding intensity. One hundred percent,’” said Caroline Pearson, executive director at the Peterson Health Technology Institute, describing a roundtable PHTI held earlier this year. The nonprofit institute, founded in 2023, evaluates the impact of new technologies on health care costs and quality.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: Health AI startup to benefit from $1 billion funding round for Yann LeCun’s AMI
URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/03/10/ai-ami-yann-lecun-nabla-lebrun-world-model/?utm_campaign=rss
Tons of news today and not just because there is a big health tech conference (HIMSS) happening in the desert. First up, how an AI scribe company might benefit from a big new AI fundraise.
‘World model’ developer tied to Nabla gets $1 billion
Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI), the new company from former Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, announced it had raised $1 billion for its quest to develop “world models.” This is a health tech story because AI documentation company Nabla will have early access to this new technology as it aims for an edge in a crowded field of companies trying to automate complex and laborious health care work. AMI’s new CEO Alex LeBrun is the co-founder and CEO of Nabla, and LeCun is one of Nabla’s investors. There’s no formal equity or licensing agreement relationship yet between AMI and Nabla, but the companies are already working closely together, Nabla COO Delphine Groll told me.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Patient health data as a public utility: A former ARPA-H data chief explains
Last year, the Department of Health and Human Services published a sweeping document that described the agency’s approach to real-world data. Historically, health and biomedical data has been intentionally manufactured, the output of carefully designed clinical trials. But in a digitized world, it can instead be mined — and patients’ interactions with the health care system are the natural resource.
The Living HHS Open Data Plan, published in July, proposed treating data more like we do other natural resources. “At the core” of the plan, it reads, “lies the concept that data is a ‘public utility’ for good that powers scientific advancement, innovation, and progress.” Patients should have access to that utility, HHS argued, but it should also be easier to leverage for research, safety monitoring, and other uses in the public interest.
On Thursday, a group of researchers, former agency officials, and health data companies continued that call in a policy forum published in Science. If health data is to be treated like a public utility, they write, it should be similarly governed. Like electricity, the system would have to involve customers, local distribution companies, transmission companies, generators, and the government.

In the not-too-distant future, the entire process of finding Medicare coverage may be influenced by artificial intelligence — a development that would allow this technology to guide one of the most important decisions that older adults and people with disabilities make.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Epic launches AI Charting, potentially scrambling the ambient scribe market
The nation’s largest electronic health record company, Epic Systems, today announced more details around its long-anticipated AI Charting feature, which could disrupt the market for ambient scribes. Several health systems are piloting the tools now, the company said.
“I almost bristle a little when people are like, ‘Oh, it’s an AI scribe,’ and I’m like, ‘No, no it’s a scribe, but that’s passive. We really want this to be active,’” said Jackie Gerhart, chief medical officer at Epic, in a call with STAT ahead of the announcement. “We’re just going to keep adding more besides just notes. So it’s going to be orders, it’s going to be diagnoses.”
Epic is hardly the first mover in the ambient scribe space, but given the company’s dominance in the EHR space it can leverage its huge platform and armory of patient records as the reason its product is superior to others. Epic holds 42% of the acute hospital EHR market and 55% of beds, with the next-largest company, Oracle Health trailing behind at 23% of the market and 22% of beds.

OpenEvidence promises ‘medical super-intelligence’
It will be hard for OpenEvidence to top its 2025. The company announced nearly $500 million in funding last year and seemingly overnight became a go-to tool in the medical profession. A slide during the company’s Monday JPM presentation claims that queries to the company’s clinical evidence chatbot grew from 2.6 million in 2024 to 17.9 million in December 2025, with well over 100 million queries for the year.
The company also revealed it will be launching “medical super-intelligence.” What does that mean? Katie Palmer explains in a new story.

At a health care AI summit in Washington D.C. yesterday, heavy hitters weighed in on the prospects for interoperability — the effort to make health data currently scattered about the health care system more readily accessible to patients, their providers, and maybe even researchers. A few comments of note:
•This was news to me: Thomas Keane who is the top health IT regulator at HHS said that before Christmas his office hopes to introduce a rule that would eliminate 34 certification criteria for electronic medical records and modify seven. These certification criteria have been much maligned for various reasons including that they create a huge burden on small companies that might want to compete with dominant vendors like Epic Systems.
•
•“We would like the EHR companies to have to do less conformance testing and concern themselves less with this aspect of our regulatory regime,” said Keane. “What we will pivot towards in the spring is regulating the application programming interfaces by which the EHRs talk to each other. And we can say that you have to adopt these features, you have to support this functionality, and if that functionality exists, then these EHRs and other technological applications in the ecosystem should all be able to talk to each other.”
•
•Investor Vijay Pande has resurfaced following his exit from Andreessen Horowitz‘s Bio & Health team earlier this year. He now has a new healthcare AI fund called VZ.VC that he’s not really ready to talk about yet, even though it’s on his LinkedIn profile.
•
•Pande offered an intentionally provocative take on the prospects for interoperability: “I think it’s never going to happen. I think there’s not enough market forces to drive that… I think there’s reasons why we haven’t seen it — It’s not the technology.”
•
Debate on state AI laws heats up
The health AI summit — where I spent most of yesterday a stone’s throw from the White House — was headlined by deputy health secretary Jim O’Neill. I wrapped up a number of his comments in a story, but most provocative was what he didn’t say: When event host Joe Grogan asked about a controversial proposal to prevent states from enforcing their AI laws, O’Neill demurred, saying only that in general he supported fighting state regulation on AI.

Debate on state AI laws heats up
The health AI summit — where I spent most of yesterday a stone’s throw from the White House — was headlined by deputy health secretary Jim O’Neill. I wrapped up a number of his comments in a story, but most provocative was what he didn’t say: When event host Joe Grogan asked about a controversial proposal to prevent states from enforcing their AI laws, O’Neill demurred, saying only that in general he supported fighting state regulation on AI.

At a health care AI summit in Washington D.C. yesterday, heavy hitters weighed in on the prospects for interoperability — the effort to make health data currently scattered about the health care system more readily accessible to patients, their providers, and maybe even researchers. A few comments of note:
•This was news to me: Thomas Keane who is the top health IT regulator at HHS said that before Christmas his office hopes to introduce a rule that would eliminate 34 certification criteria for electronic medical records and modify seven. These certification criteria have been much maligned for various reasons including that they create a huge burden on small companies that might want to compete with dominant vendors like Epic Systems.
•
•“We would like the EHR companies to have to do less conformance testing and concern themselves less with this aspect of our regulatory regime,” said Keane. “What we will pivot towards in the spring is regulating the application programming interfaces by which the EHRs talk to each other. And we can say that you have to adopt these features, you have to support this functionality, and if that functionality exists, then these EHRs and other technological applications in the ecosystem should all be able to talk to each other.”
•
•Investor Vijay Pande has resurfaced following his exit from Andreessen Horowitz‘s Bio & Health team earlier this year. He now has a new healthcare AI fund called VZ.VC that he’s not really ready to talk about yet, even though it’s on his LinkedIn profile.
•
•Pande offered an intentionally provocative take on the prospects for interoperability: “I think it’s never going to happen. I think there’s not enough market forces to drive that… I think there’s reasons why we haven’t seen it — It’s not the technology.”
