Collaboration to automate documentation, coding, and EMR workflows-reducing clinician burden, improving revenue performance, and enhancing patient care across community oncology and specialties.

NEW HOPE, PA / ACCESS Newswire / April 29, 2026 / Cornerstone Specialty Network ("Cornerstone"), a leading national network of community oncology and multispecialty practices, today announced a strategic partnership with Knowtex, a healthcare technology company specializing in voice-enabled AI solutions designed to automate clinical workflows and improve operational performance.

Through this partnership, Cornerstone and Knowtex will deploy advanced voice AI technology across the network to streamline documentation, automate medical coding, and integrate seamlessly with leading oncology and multispecialty electronic medical record (EMR) platforms, including OncoEMR, iKnowMed, and Epic.

This collaboration is designed to address one of the most pressing challenges in oncology and multispecialty practices today: the growing administrative burden on clinicians. By automating key workflows, the partnership will enable practices to improve efficiency, enhance financial performance, and refocus provider time on patient care.

"Community oncology and multispecialty practices are navigating increasing complexity-from documentation demands to reimbursement pressures," said Joel Schaedler, CEO at Cornerstone Specialty Network. "Our partnership with Knowtex brings forward a highly practical, scalable solution that reduces administrative burden, improves data accuracy, and strengthens both clinical and operational performance across our network."

Knowtex's platform leverages voice-enabled artificial intelligence to automate:

Clinical Documentation - Capturing and generating accurate, real-time documentation directly from physician-patient interactions

Medical Coding - Automating ICD-10 and E&M coding to improve accuracy, compliance, and revenue capture

Deep EMR Integration - Seamlessly integrating into leading oncology EMRs such as OncoEMR, iKnowMed, and Epic to eliminate redundant workflows and reduce manual data entry

By embedding these capabilities into everyday clinical operations, practices can expect meaningful improvements in:

Clinician Efficiency and Burnout Reduction - Decreasing time spent on documentation and administrative tasks

Revenue Cycle Performance - Enhancing coding accuracy and supporting more consistent, optimized reimbursement

Patient Care Quality - Allowing physicians to spend more time focused on patient interaction and clinical decision-making

"Knowtex is proud to partner with Cornerstone to bring voice AI-powered automation to community oncology and multispecialty practices nationwide," said Caroline Zhang, CEO at Knowtex. "Together, we are enabling a more efficient, data-driven care environment-one that supports clinicians, strengthens financial performance, and ultimately improves the patient experience."

This partnership represents a key component of Cornerstone's broader strategy to modernize community oncology and multispecialty care through technology-enabled solutions that drive value, improve sustainability, and preserve the independence of local practices.
