Memorial Hermann Cuts Patient Follow-Up Messages 32% With Epic AI

Houston – September 11, 2026 -- Memorial Hermann Health System has cut patient follow-up messages about test results by 32% after deploying Art, an AI-powered documentation assistant built into its Epic electronic health record system.

Clinicians then review, edit and personalize each draft before sending it to patients. Care teams at Memorial Hermann have used the tool to write more than 55,000 patient messages since adoption began, with clinicians saving an average of nine seconds per result comment when starting from Art's draft.
