Migrate from Eclinicalworks to Suki.
2 documentation-derived translation patterns — what carries over and what to watch for. Cited to the Feature Parity Map; the audit tells you whether the move is worth it.
Suki and eClinicalWorks both produce a drafted clinical note from the ambiently captured visit. A practice on eClinicalWorks can retire the standalone Suki contract by switching to the EHR-family's own ambient scribe, Sunoh.ai: it listens to the patient-provider conversation, categorizes the dialogue into Progress Note (SOAP) sections, and pre-fills coded and uncoded allergies, diagnoses, treatment plans, plus labs, imaging, procedures, medication orders, and follow-ups; the provider reviews and imports directly into the Progress Note inside eClinicalWorks (desktop EHR, eClinicalTouch on iPad, eClinicalMobile). Because the draft lands in the same encounter the EHR already uses for orders and coding, there is no separate Suki login or paste-back. Keep eClinicalWorks; cut the standalone Suki.
- Warning: Suki does not publish a native eClinicalWorks integration (its deep integrations are Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, MEDITECH), so on eCW Suki typically runs via its EHR-agnostic/desktop path — the value of switching is moving onto Sunoh.ai's native eCW Progress Note import.
- Warning: Sunoh.ai is a paid add-on to the eCW license (listed around $149/user/month, with possible additional monthly charges) — it is not free with the EHR; confirm provisioning and per-seat cost before cancelling Suki.
- Warning: Re-validate Suki's specialty note types and personalized sections against Sunoh's SOAP/Progress Note section mapping; rebuild any custom formatting on the eCW side.
- Warning: Patient consent for ambient recording still applies — keep the consent step in the eCW/Sunoh workflow.
- Warning: Output is a draft for import, not auto-filed: the provider must review and sign the Progress Note in eClinicalWorks before it enters the record.
Suki suggests visit codes (ICD-10, HCC, CPT, E/M) from the documented encounter; eClinicalWorks does coding natively inside the EHR. A practice on eClinicalWorks can drop Suki's coding by relying on the eCW Clinical Rules Engine (CRE), which automatically suggests/drops the appropriate codes from the clinical documentation as encounters are completed and feeds them into the integrated charge/claim workflow on the same chart; the embedded eva assistant can also be invoked in-context during documentation. Let eClinicalWorks generate and attach the codes at encounter close instead of pulling them from Suki. Keep eClinicalWorks; cut the standalone Suki.
- Warning: eCW's built-in coding is largely rules/E&M-based via the Clinical Rules Engine; if you need fully autonomous GenAI chart coding (closer to Suki's AI code suggestions) that is typically a separate third-party add-on for eCW, not the native CRE — scope the gap before cutover.
- Warning: Suki and the eCW CRE may surface different codes; re-validate against the CRE output and have coders spot-check the first encounters after cutover to avoid amended claims or denials.
- Warning: Suki has no published native eCW integration, so confirm exactly how Suki's coding is reaching the chart today before removing it — you are retiring the standalone Suki subscription, not an eCW entitlement.
- Warning: The 98%+ first-pass acceptance figure eCW markets is for its RCM Services offering, not the coding engine in isolation — do not assume that rate transfers automatically by switching off Suki.
