Regard vs Wellsheet (2026)
Both sit on top of the EHR and read the existing chart rather than listening to the visit. Regard reads the whole record when a chart opens, recommends diagnoses the chart supports but the notes do not yet carry, and drafts the note around them. Wellsheet's Care Team Copilot gives clinicians prioritized views of chart data, AI narrative summaries, draft documentation for hospital course, assessment and plan and discharge summaries, and a chat agent for questions. Elsevier acquired Wellsheet in June 2026 and plans to combine it with ClinicalKey AI. Choose Regard to surface diagnoses the notes miss; choose Wellsheet for summaries and drafts across a hospital stay.
- Diagnoses the chart supports should be proposed before the note is signed.
- The whole record should be read when a chart opens.
- The draft note should be built around those diagnoses.
- Clinicians need prioritized views and narrative summaries of the chart.
- Hospital course, assessment and plan and discharge summaries should be drafted.
- A chat agent should answer questions about the patient.

Each vendor in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph opens the AI Health Index profile of the vendor: what the product is, who buys it and what it does.
Regard reads the whole electronic health record when a clinician opens a chart, recommends diagnoses the chart supports but the notes do not yet carry, and drafts the note around them inside the EHR. The company's premise is that physicians see about 3 percent of the data in a chart.

Questions buyers ask
How do Regard and Wellsheet work with the EHR?
For Regard, the technology page names native support for Epic and Cerner, plus generic FHIR servers, and shows chart loads over Epic FHIR R4 triggered when a clinician opens the chart; the app embeds in the EHR through SMART on FHIR, and the company announced an integration with Microsoft Dragon Copilot in 2025.
Wellsheet names Oracle Cerner, Epic and athenahealth, says it is available on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, Epic Showroom and athenahealth Marketplace, and names deployments at RWJBarnabas Health (seven hospitals) and AllianceChicago on athenaOne; the interface embeds in the EHR through APIs. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How are Regard and Wellsheet priced and sold?
In Regard's case, the company frames value as return per user (4x at Sentara), offers a free HCC gap analysis to size the revenue opportunity before contract, and states go-lives of six to ten weeks with a dedicated team.
For Wellsheet, the company sells to health systems directly and says it is available on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, Epic Showroom and athenahealth Marketplace. Nothing states the unit of charge, tiers or implementation fees, and the footer disclaimer means the scope being priced must be confirmed. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How do Regard and Wellsheet handle patient data?
With Regard, the privacy policy (updated June 2026) covers website comments, cookies and embedded media only and says nothing about patient data. Nothing states how long chart data is retained, whether customer data trains or tunes any model, or what reaches OpenAI when the GPT-4 based features (Max, note drafting) run.
In Wellsheet's case, a February 2026 release calls the product HIPAA compliant end to end. The privacy notice (last modified 5 May 2026, published as a PDF on a file-sharing link) covers the website only and points app users elsewhere; nothing states retention, training use or de-identification for chart data. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
Which settings and specialties do Regard and Wellsheet cover?
For Regard, the product began with hospitalists and leads with inpatient measures (CC and MCC capture, DRG movement). The company says 250+ conditions are detected across specialties and announced expansion to new specialties toward all admitted patients in March 2026, and HCC Capture and Screening reach ambulatory populations.
With Wellsheet, the product supports multidisciplinary rounding across physicians, nursing and case management, inpatient documentation and discharge planning, and outpatient clinics, including AllianceChicago's community health centers on athenaOne. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
