From Student to Innovator: ICHS Graduate Builds AI Scribe Platform to Support New NPs
As a graduate of the MSN Family Nurse Practitioner program at ICHS, Dr. Chris Montanaro knows firsthand the challenges students and new providers face--especially when it comes to documentation and work-life balance.
Drawing on his experience transitioning from chiropractic to nursing, Chris created Charting Hero, an AI-powered medical scribe platform designed to help healthcare providers document faster, reduce burnout, and reclaim their time. The tool was specifically developed with new Nurse Practitioners in mind but is also used by providers in a range of specialties. It includes built-in AI transcription, medical note generation, smart buttons, and customizable templates—all aimed at streamlining the documentation process in a HIPAA-compliant way.
“I built what I wish existed when I was going through the program,” Chris explains. “Balancing clinicals, school, and patient care is tough--and I wanted to give providers back their evenings and weekends without sacrificing quality documentation.”
