Imagine a nurse walking into a patient’s room, already knowing every critical detail of their medical journey from the last two years—without having spent hours digging through a digital mountain of paperwork

Hackensack NJ,at Hackensack Meridian Health, this isn’t a “futuristic” vision; it’s the new reality. Meet EKAM, a revolutionary AI tool designed to end the era of the “keyboard-bound” clinician and bring the human connection back to the bedside.
What is EKAM? The Google-Powered Revolution
Developed in collaboration with Hackensack Meridian’s elite data science team and powered by Google’s machine learning technology, EKAM is a game-changer for Electronic Health Records (EHR).
-
The Problem: Traditional patient charts are often “data graveyards”—miles of unstructured notes, complex provider summaries, and fragmented histories that take forever to read.
-
The Solution: EKAM reads and synthesizes two years of complex provider notes in seconds. It transforms “data dump” into a coherent, actionable story instantly.
Restoring the “Human Element” to Healthcare
For nurses and doctors, the biggest thief of time is “clerical burden.” Margia Fonseca, R.N., MSN, OCN, a leading nurse at the Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center, is on a mission to change that.
“We’re not just saving clicks; we’re restoring the human connection in healthcare,” says Fonseca. “By using machine learning to instantly synthesize a patient’s story, we’re freeing providers from the keyboard and putting them back where they belong—face-to-face with the patient.”
The EKAM Impact: 3 Ways it Changes Medicine
| Feature | The AI Advantage |
| Speed | Analyzes 24 months of provider notes in lightning-fast intervals. |
| Accuracy | Leverages Google’s ML to identify patterns in unstructured data. |
| Retention | Dramatically reduces nurse burnout by cutting down on “screen time.” |
Coming to a Unit Near You: The “EKAM Tour”
To ensure this technology works for the people who need it most, Margia Fonseca is hitting the road this month. The “EKAM Tour” will visit all Hackensack Meridian Health sites, bringing live demonstrations and hands-on training to front-line nurses.
This movement marks a new frontier in health tech—one where the software works for the clinician, not the other way around.
