Core Clinical Partners Announces Strategic Partnership with Cleo Health to Revolutionize Emergency and Acute Care Documentation
January 14, 2025–Atlanta, GA–Core Clinical Partners (Core), a leading practice management company specializing in emergency and hospital medicine, today announced a strategic partnership with Cleo Health, an innovator in AI-driven healthcare solutions. This collaboration highlights Core’s commitment to advancing clinician experiences and patient care through cutting-edge technology, setting a new standard for the industry.
A Holistic AI Platform That Goes Beyond Documentation
The Cleo Health platform transcends traditional documentation tools, offering a holistic, AI-powered solution tailored for emergency and acute care environments. While many tools focus narrowly on simplifying note-writing, Cleo redefines the clinician experience by optimizing the entire patient care process.
“Cleo is not just a documentation program; it’s a platform that integrates into every facet of acute care,” said Dr. Boykin Robinson, CEO of Core Clinical Partners. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our vision for innovation and our commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by clinicians. We look forward to rolling out Cleo’s system across our network, empowering physicians to spend less time at the computer and more time delivering high-quality patient care.”
By integrating advanced AI-driven capabilities, Cleo enables clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions. The platform enhances efficiency, reduces time spent on routine tasks, and improves the accuracy of risk assessments, ultimately elevating both the clinician experience and patient outcomes. Its design minimizes administrative burdens while maximizing real-time support where it is needed most, allowing clinicians to focus on what truly matters: saving lives and delivering exceptional care.
A Platform Built for Clinicians
Developed with direct input from clinicians, this AI-powered solution tackles the persistent challenge of excessive documentation burdens, bridging the gaps where existing tools have failed to meet the unique demands of emergency and acute care settings. Cleo Health’s platform offers more than just a streamlined solution—it represents a new standard in integrating data science and user-centered design for healthcare professionals.
“Cleo has been built from the ground up to make life easier for clinicians,” said Core’s CMO, Dr. Rachel Thompson. “By sharing a clinician-first mindset, we’re partnering with a technology leader that truly values patient outcomes and clinician well-being. This is the next step in our ongoing mission to elevate clinical practice everywhere we serve.”
A Shared Vision of Purpose and Innovation
For Jackson Pullman, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Cleo, this collaboration is driven by a personal mission to support those on the front lines of care. “We’re glorified fans of healthcare providers,” he said. “This is about transforming healthcare systems so clinicians can focus on saving lives. Our partnership with Core is a natural fit because we both believe that technology should free providers, not burden them.”
Cleo’s executive team is comprised of seasoned leaders with extensive experience in the acute care industry, including Dr. Patrick Hunt and Blake Birkenfeld, co-founders of ShiftAdmin. Together, they are spearheading Cleo’s mission to revolutionize the way acute care clinicians deliver medical care.
“The vision behind Cleo represents the most transformative concept we have encountered since the sale of ShiftAdmin in 2020,” stated Dr. Hunt. “Blake and I were compelled to join immediately. This team is already redefining the future of acute care medicine.”
David Hidalgo-Gato, Cleo’s CEO, shared his excitement: “We have a unique opportunity to fundamentally change how clinicians practice. Writing notes is just the beginning—real-time AI has the potential to tackle some of medicine’s most persistent challenges.”
Over the coming months, Core will collaborate with Cleo to launch the platform across its 40 programs in 10 states—reinforcing a shared commitment to improving both clinician experiences and patient outcomes.
