AVIA, the leading digital transformation partner in healthcare, today announced that MemorialCare earned recognition for its strong application of Ambient Documentation during the 2026 annual awards, marking the third straight year. The AVIAwards program celebrates health systems that lead the way in using digital tools to boost operational efficiency, refine care delivery, and strengthen patient engagement.

"At MemorialCare, digital transformation focuses on steadily improving how we link patients with care, making every step more intuitive, efficient, and tailored," said Anne LaNova, executive director, Digital Consumer Experience, MemorialCare. "This honor alongside top health systems across the country highlights our advancements and shows the effective teamwork across our organization to improve access and raise the patient experience."

Winners were chosen using findings from the AVIA State of Digital Transformation Report, which draws on self-reported information from health systems to assess digital health uptake and results throughout the 2025 calendar year. The awards spotlight groups that show notable advancement and clear results in digital health efforts.

MemorialCare, a leading nonprofit health system serving Orange and Los Angeles Counties, received its award for the third year in a row. This reflects its high share of ambulatory visits documented with Ambient Clinical Documentation along with its high share of providers applying Ambient Clinical Documentation for ambulatory visits.

"The AVIAwards spotlight the real progress health systems achieve through digital innovation," said Ashley Allen, chief customer officer, AVIA. "We are pleased to recognize leaders like MemorialCare, whose ongoing work shows how digital approaches can deliver genuine gains in operations and clinical care."

The AVIAwards were presented at the AVIA Digital Innovation Leaders Forum in Chicago. Learn more about how MemorialCare is expanding access to care.
