INTERSCRIPTS, INC. InterScripts Expands Strategic Nearshore Partnership with Akron Children's, Extending Support into AI, Cybersecurity, and Clinical Informatics
Distributed by The Web Techno · Originally issued via PR Newswire
CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 — InterScripts, Inc., a healthcare IT services and software company, today announced the continued growth and success of its nearshore delivery partnership with Akron Children's. Launched in February 2026, the engagement initially focused on Epic application support and has since expanded to include clinical informatics, data analytics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) development.
Delivered through InterScripts' Medellín, Colombia, center, the partnership provides Akron Children's access to highly skilled, Epic-certified professionals and specialized healthcare IT talent working in alignment with U.S. business hours. The model combines cost efficiency, bilingual capabilities, and access to Medellín's deep pool of well-educated technology professionals with the operational integration and accountability required by a leading U.S. health system.
The announcement comes ahead of the CHIME26 Fall Forum, November 11–14, in Aurora, Colorado, where InterScripts will meet with healthcare executives exploring nearshore delivery models for Epic applications, service desk operations, cybersecurity, data engineering, and AI.
From MyChart Support to an Expanded Strategic Partnership
Akron Children's initially engaged InterScripts to provide bilingual 24/7 MyChart patient support, including assistance with portal access, proxy accounts, and appointment and billing inquiries. Building on that success, the partnership has expanded into additional technology and clinical support functions, including Epic application services, clinical informatics, Databricks and analytics, cybersecurity, and AI development.
The expanded engagement also complements InterScripts' established relationship with Akron Children's, which includes legacy Infor application support and BytePad enterprise archiving.
"Healthcare organizations are facing unprecedented workforce challenges. Rising labor costs, supply expenses, and increasing regulatory demands continue to place significant financial and operational pressure on health systems. Our partnership with InterScripts provides Akron Children's with access to dedicated, highly skilled, and certified professionals working directly from Medellín and fully integrated into our teams.
This strategy is not about replacing our existing workforce. It is about extending our capabilities, addressing specialized staffing gaps, and providing flexibility to accelerate our strategic priorities. Our Medellín colleagues are working side by side with our onshore teams every day across Epic, Databricks, cybersecurity, clinical informatics, and AI development. They are making meaningful contributions to our operations and innovation initiatives, and we are delighted with the value they bring to Akron Children's." — Harun Rashid, Chief Digital Information Officer, Akron Children's
This model enables healthcare organizations to access specialized technology expertise while achieving meaningful cost efficiencies compared with equivalent onshore staffing. Dedicated and fractional resource arrangements also provide the flexibility to scale capabilities around operational demands, application upgrades, and strategic transformation initiatives.
"Nearshore delivery from Medellín gives our clients the economics without the distance. Our professionals are InterScripts employees, credentialed to the same standards as our U.S.-based consultants, and working in the same time zone as the clinicians and technology teams they support.
The fractional resource model is particularly powerful for healthcare CIOs. It creates opportunities to introduce specialized capabilities, such as AI engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and data specialists, within existing budgets rather than postponing important initiatives until the next budget cycle. We believe this model represents an important evolution in how healthcare organizations access and deploy technology talent." — Raju Togi, Founder, President & CEO, InterScripts, Inc.
