Sanara
Built by critical-care physicians

The AI-native workflow platform for critical care teams

Clinicians go back to the bedside. Sanara handles documentation, coding, quality improvement, task management, and handoffs.

THE CLINICAL CONVERSATIONSANARANOTECODESQUALITYTASKS
The problem

Critical care runs on documentation, and it’s failing on both sides of the chart.

The clinician side

Hours of every shift go to charting instead of the bedside, the top driver of critical-care burnout. Across long, complex stays, the record drifts from reality.

The business side

Denials are rising fastest for the sickest patients, and most documentation gaps are invisible until after the claim has been submitted.

The platform

Everything the shift needs, before the note is signed.

Beyond offering an AI scribe purpose-built for critical care, Sanara extends into an end-to-end workflow platform helping clinicians through the entire shift.

Documentation

The note writes itself on rounds

Ambient capture of the conversation your team is already having becomes a structured, signature-ready note in seconds. Hours return to the bedside every shift.

  • No templates, no dictation commands
  • Structured for review, ready for signature
ROUNDS
OVERNIGHT EVENTS

Weaned norepinephrine to 0.05; MAP holding above 65.

Lactate cleared to 1.8. Cultures narrowed; on ceftriaxone.

ASSESSMENT & PLAN

Septic shock, improving. Continue wean as tolerated.

Reassess volume status and urine output at noon.

READY FOR REVIEW
Coding

True complexity, captured in the moment

The severity of the patient makes it into the record at the point of care, supported by the chart rather than reconstructed by queries weeks later.

  • Specificity while the encounter is fresh
  • Fewer queries, cleaner claims
DOCUMENTED, NOT UPCODED
Sepsis, unspecifiedMCC

SEVERITY CAPTURED
Quality

Gaps surface before the signature

Every note is checked against critical-care standards while it can still be fixed: one click, at the bedside, not in a retrospective report.

  • Right the first time beats fixed later
  • Clinicians accept, edit, or dismiss every suggestion
STANDARDS CHECK0/4 MET
VTE prophylaxis
Stress ulcer prophylaxis
Glucose management
Sedation target

No sedation target documented. Add to plan?

ACCEPTEDIT

“RASS −2 on propofol; reassess daily” added before signature.

Tasks

Nothing falls through between shifts

Every action item from rounds is captured, assigned, and carried across handoffs, off the paper list and out of anyone's head.

  • Captured from the conversation itself
  • Tracked across the whole team

Deployment

Standalone in hours. No I.T. lift, no integration project to start.

Integration

No EHR integration required to start. When you want it: Epic-ready via SMART on FHIR, Cerner and MEDITECH compatible.

Governance

Clinicians decide. Every suggestion is reviewed before it enters the record.

How it works

Nothing new to learn. Round like you always have.

Sanara fits the workflow that already exists and gives the hours back to the bedside.

01

Speak

Record rounds ambiently or dictate after. No templates, no commands. Just the conversation your team is already having at the bedside.

02

Sanara structures

In under twenty seconds: a structured progress note, specific codes, and every action item extracted and assigned.

03

Review and sign

Quality and coding gaps surface before signature, each with a one-click fix. The clinician verifies and signs. Complete, specific, and defensible.

Care settings

A critical-care bed is a critical-care bed.

Same charts, same acuity, same standards. One platform across the hospital ICU and long-term acute care.

Hospital ICU

Where the stakes are highest.

The sickest, least stable patients in the building, documented at the pace of rounds. Documentation, coding, quality, and tasks in one motion, designed around how ICU teams actually move. No integration project required to start.

Long-term acute care

Where continuity is everything.

Stays measured in weeks, ventilator-level complexity, and documentation that carries the full weight of payment. The same engine and the same standards, built for the setting the rest of the industry overlooks. If you run an LTACH, we’d like to talk.

The team

Built by clinicians who lived this problem.

We spent years at the bedside of the sickest patients in the system, watching documentation eat the shift and still fail the chart. Sanara is the system we wished we had, built with clinical depth that generalist tools can’t retrofit.
