Net Health adds native AI documentation to WoundExpert EHR
Net Health has introduced ambient documentation in WoundExpert, its wound care specialty EHR, using native AI to capture clinical and compliance details from visits. The company says the feature can produce comprehensive documentation for healing trajectory and revenue reporting in about half the time.

AI places information directly into the patient chart
The embedded feature listens to a clinical visit, extracts the relevant information, and places each detail into the correct discrete form field. Rather than giving clinicians a transcribed note to process, the system parses the conversation as part of the documentation workflow.
Net Health says the capability covers the wound assessment, treatment note, physician orders, and wound care procedure documentation. Clinicians review, edit, and sign every note before it reaches the medical record. Images and measurements are captured through Tissue Analytics, which the company says will soon incorporate ambient capabilities as well.
The feature is designed for the documentation demands of wound care, where clinical detail also supports compliance and revenue reporting. Net Health said the capability draws on its decades of wound care expertise and experience supporting over 100M wound assessments spanning hospital to home care.
Net Health plans chart summary and audit tools
The launch is the first step in a broader WoundExpert AI roadmap, according to John Gresham, President of Wound Care at Net Health. The company says Chart Summary and Chart Audit are next, although their availability will be announced at a later date.
Chart Summary is designed for pre-visit preparation, handoffs, and co-signature. It will condense months of notes, measurements, and plan-of-care changes into four summary types. Clinicians will generate and review every summary.
Chart Audit will review documentation before a claim is created. It is intended to flag incorrect, missing, or insufficient documentation for billed procedures, incompatible code combinations, gaps in medical necessity evidence, and other issues. Suggested corrections will be sent to clinicians and billers for review before a claim goes out.
A specialty-focused approach to clinical AI
Net Health described the launch as part of its commitment to expanding AI into coding and chart review. Interim CEO Patrick Rooney said, "We build every part of our platform the same way: native to the specialty, and grounded in what our clinicians need, so it reduces friction instead of adding to it."
Gresham said, "Wound care providers don't have room for a documentation gap," pointing to tightening reimbursement, increased audits, and the risk that missing details can lead to a denied claim months later.
For WoundExpert users, the current release focuses on reducing manual documentation work while keeping clinicians responsible for reviewing and approving notes. The planned summary and audit functions would extend that workflow into chart preparation and pre-claim checks, but Net Health has not yet announced when those capabilities will become available.
