AI Setup & Training for Healthcare: What Actually Works

You run a healthcare practice where paperwork and admin tasks steal time from patients. You hear about AI but your team won't use it. You need someone to set up the tools right, connect them to your patient files and email, and train your staff so they actually use them daily.

For a healthcare practice, what works is Claude on every desk, set up to connect with your email, patient files, and scheduling tool. I install the software, link it to your existing systems, and set it up to match how your office works. Training is hands-on—I sit with your front desk, nurses, and clinicians until everyone can use it confidently. The tasks it handles are the ones that eat up your day: drafting referral letters, summarizing patient histories, pulling up lab results, and helping with insurance pre-authorizations. It's not about technology for technology's sake. It's about giving your team a reliable assistant that works the way they do.

A healthcare practice is different from a typical office. You deal with protected health information, so every tool must be set up with HIPAA in mind. Mistakes can have real consequences. Your team is diverse—doctors need quick clinical summaries, nurses need charting help, and the front desk needs to handle appointment requests and insurance forms. A one-size-fits-all AI setup won't work. The training has to fit each role, and the connections must be secure and compliant. That's why the setup focuses on keeping patient data safe while still making the tools easy to use.

What you pay depends on the size of your practice and how many systems need connecting. A solo practice is simpler and costs less than a multi-location clinic with complex EHR setups. You get a flat project fee that covers all setup, connections, and training—no recurring subscription. The fee typically falls in the low thousands, and the hours saved each week pay for it quickly. You'll know the exact number before we start.

It starts with a call. You tell me about your practice, the software you use, and where your team gets stuck. Then I—Scott Gerke of FocusDude—visit your office (or work remotely) to install Claude on every computer. I connect it to your email, patient files, and scheduling system, keeping everything secure and HIPAA-safe. Next, I train your staff role by role until they're comfortable. I stay until the habits stick. A week later, I check in to answer questions and adjust anything.

Your team comes in, opens Claude, and gets to work. Referral letters draft themselves. Patient summaries appear in seconds. The front desk answers insurance questions right from the chat. Admin time drops, and you can focus on the people who need you. Your practice runs smoother, and your team feels less overwhelmed.
