How Allina Health is Using AI to Strengthen Revenue Integrity and Clinical Workflows

September 29, 2025

At-a-glance impact of using AssistIQ

  • Higher capture of chargeable products, giving Allina Health more billable revenue to reinvest in care
  • Reliable data flowing directly into Epic and Workday
  • Smoother workflows for clinical teams, revenue integrity, and supply chain teams

The Challenge

Before AssistIQ, Allina Health relied on barcode scanners and manual documentation to track supplies and implants used in procedures. These processes were inconsistent and often incomplete, leading to:

  • Missed billable products and lost revenue
  • Inefficient workflows for clinical and revenue integrity teams
  • Lack of reliable data to support supply chain and financial decisions

Allina Health needed a solution that could consistently capture every product at the point of use, without slowing down staff or adding more complexity.

The Solution

Allina Health partnered with AssistIQ to deploy its AI-powered supply capture and insights platform across more than 100 operating and procedural rooms across all Allina hospital locations.

With AssistIQ:

  • Supplies and implants are captured instantly and accurately using computer vision
  • Data flows directly into Epic and Workday, eliminating gaps between systems
  • Clinical, billing, and supply chain teams share one reliable source of truth

The Results

  1. More revenue from the same volume of cases:
    Early deployment has shown higher capture of chargeable products, directly resulting in more billable revenue without adding new cases. For Allina Health, these gains mean more reliable resources to invest back into sustaining care, supporting staff, and advancing the health system’s mission of excellence.
  2. Reliable data for smarter decisions:
    By embedding supply and implant data directly into Epic and Workday, AssistIQ gives Allina Health trusted data that supports reimbursement, contract compliance, and smarter inventory management.
  3. Smoother workflows:
    Instead of struggling with barcode scans that may not register or falling back on manual documentation, teams capture every product quickly and accurately while staying focused on the patient.

Voices from Allina Health

Tom Lubotsky, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Allina Health, said:

“Having complete and reliable data on the supplies and implants used in procedures allows our teams to work more efficiently to better serve our patients. With this new technology, every product is captured consistently, giving us the foundation to understand our product costs, waste and use and roll out a single reliable system across our hospitals. Our patients trust us to provide expert care and that means all systems of our hospitals must run smoothly.”

Early deployment has already shown measurable improvements, with teams capturing more billable products and strengthening revenue integrity while easing the documentation burden on staff. These gains give Allina Health the resources and reliable data needed to sustain its long-term vision for excellence in patient care.

Matt Pavlovec, Patient Care Manager, Allina Health, said:

“Our care team members feel the difference right away. Instead of dealing with barcode scans that may not register or having to manually document, our teams can capture every product quickly and accurately while keeping their focus on the patient. More importantly, this improved accuracy helps ensure we have the right product on hand for the next patient, all but eliminating the need to hunt for products as we’re setting up.”

AssistIQ’s AIQ CaptureTM and AIQ Charge CaptureTM products connect directly with Allina Health’s core systems, Epic and Workday, embedding supply and implant data seamlessly into clinical and administrative workflows.

Josh Buehler, Chief Operating Officer, AssistIQ, said:

“Allina Health has been a true partner in shaping AssistIQ to fit real-world clinical workflows. Together we’re proving that AI can tackle an overlooked area of hospital revenue management. By capturing every product reliably, hospitals are seeing up to 30% more billable revenue, a reduction in inventory errors, and new data visibility that supports strategic decision making, financial performance, and excellence in patient care.”

What’s Next

Allina Health continues to expand AssistIQ across its hospitals and procedural areas. With more than 100 rooms included in the rollout, the initiative represents one of the largest deployments of its kind and reflects Allina Health’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
