Commure Partners with Val Verde Regional Medical Center to Enhance Clinical Workflows with MEDITECH-Integrated Ambient AI
Community-Based Hospital Pioneers Rural Healthcare Adoption of Advanced AI Technology to Improve Clinician Experience and Patient Access
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commure, a leading healthcare technology company, today announced a new partnership with Val Verde Regional Medical Center (VVRMC), a community-based hospital serving residents in Del Rio, TX and the surrounding Val Verde region. The organizations will partner to reduce administrative burden and enhance clinical documentation within the MEDITECH Expanse Electronic Health Record (EHR) by deploying Commure Ambient AI, a solution that empowers clinicians with advanced clinical documentation support, autonomous coding, AI copilots, and more.
VVRMC selected Commure Ambient AI for its proven impact to reduce provider documentation time from 30 to 90 minutes a day across specialties such as cardiology and family practice. In addition, Commure will leverage its MEDITECH Alliance partnership to ensure deep integration with MEDITECH Expanse and rapid operational value for the medical center.
Through this collaboration, the VVRMC will deploy Commure Ambient AI across multiple departments to advance its mission of delivering accessible, compassionate, high-quality care to every patient.
“Rural healthcare hinges on maximizing every minute of clinician time and every available resource,” said Keith Willey, CIO of VVRMC. “By integrating Commure Ambient AI into our clinical workflows, we’re enabling our providers to spend less time on documentation and more time where they’re needed most – at the patient’s side.”
For a rural health system like VVRMC, adopting this new technology represents a crucial advancement in addressing staffing challenges, physician burnout, and patient access disparities.
“Val Verde Regional Medical Center exemplifies the innovation and resilience of rural healthcare organizations nationwide,” said Ian Shakil, Chief Strategy Officer of Commure. “Their leadership demonstrates that advanced AI doesn’t belong only to large urban systems; it belongs to every community striving to deliver exceptional care.”
VVRMC joins a nationwide cohort of pioneering hospitals and health systems using Commure Ambient AI to document millions of clinician encounters each year, automate coding, and deliver real-time support at the point of care.
