The right AI sharpens diagnostics, lifts revenue, and gives clinicians back the one thing technology cannot manufacture — time with patients. Getting that balance right is what I do.
"AI that reduces documentation burden, accelerates diagnostics, and streamlines authorizations gives clinicians back the one thing no technology can manufacture — time with patients. That is the only AI transformation worth building."
Srikar Chinglepet, Founder, Human First Health.aiCareer Experience
Most consultants advise from the outside. I spent 22 years on the inside — at Mount Sinai's 7-hospital New York network and Atlantic Health System's 8-hospital New Jersey system — where I did not just design the roadmap. I shipped the technology, navigated institutional complexity, and made it stick.
At Mount Sinai, I led the 3M powered medical coding platform for 90,000+ inpatient and ambulatory surgery cases annually. That implementation became the blueprint adopted across the entire network. I then scaled it into NLP driven computer assisted coding across 250,000+ annual cases, working directly with C suite and HIM leadership to improve coding accuracy, throughput, and revenue performance system wide.
At Atlantic Health, I led enterprise AI adoption that moved real efficiency metrics, lifted appointment bookings 25% through Kyruus platform integration with Epic, and directed a $3M+ workstation lifecycle program covering 12,500 devices — all while managing cybersecurity modernization, compliance, and joint venture integrations across a complex 8-hospital system.
My philosophy is simple. AI in healthcare should improve patient outcomes, sharpen clinical decisions, and eliminate the administrative burden pulling clinicians away from patients. It should never displace the nurses, physicians, coders, and coordinators who are the backbone of every great health system.
Through Human First Health.ai, I bring that institutional knowledge and that conviction to health systems, digital health companies, and investors — on a flexible engagement basis, remote and global.
Start a ConversationEvery engagement is shaped around where your organization actually is — not where a framework says you should be.
From AI pilots that never scale to enterprise programs that move clinical and financial metrics — I help health systems define a responsible, measurable AI strategy. Not theory. Implementation ready, board presentable, outcome driven.
Deep Epic, 3M Solventum, and revenue cycle expertise from inside two major health systems. I find the workflow gaps, design solutions that improve coding accuracy, reduce denials, accelerate the billing cycle, and protect revenue.
Executive level digital health leadership without the full time overhead. The right fit for mid size health systems, digital health startups, and private equity backed healthcare companies that need a proven technology leader on demand.
Not case studies from textbooks. Real results from 22 years inside two of America's most demanding hospital networks.
AI powered patient scheduling via Kyruus Direct Book integrated with Epic at Atlantic Health System — measurable access improvement, lower call center load.
NLP enabled computer assisted coding deployed across Mount Sinai's 7-hospital network — improving coding accuracy, throughput, and revenue cycle performance at scale.
Led the 3M Data Management implementation at Mount Sinai Hospital and MS Queens — became the blueprint adopted across all 7 hospitals in the system.
Across Mount Sinai's 7-hospital NY metro network and Atlantic Health's 8-hospital NJ system. Twenty-two years of inside institutional knowledge, delivered from the front lines.
Directed enterprise AI, cybersecurity modernization, Epic transformation, and compliance execution across Atlantic Health's full 8-hospital footprint.
From Health Information Systems and Revenue Cycle to AI strategy and enterprise digital health — a career built entirely inside the organizations I now advise.
30 minutes. I listen first. We identify where the real gaps and opportunities are — not where a slide deck says they should be.
I map your current technology, workflows, and strategy against where you need to be. Honest, direct, no jargon.
A prioritized plan with timelines, vendor guidance, and success metrics. Built to be presented to your board or C suite leadership.
Monthly retainer or project basis. I stay close to your team until the outcomes are real — not just on paper.
Let's talk directly about where your organization is, where the real gaps are, and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.
