Dr. Craig Norquist
Dr. Craig Norquist is the Chief Medical Information Officer at HonorHealth, a Phoenix-area health system, where he also serves as Program Director for the HonorHealth Clinical Informatics Fellowship and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix. Board-certified in both Emergency Medicine and Clinical Informatics, he spent more than 20 years practicing emergency medicine — including roles as Department Chair of Emergency Medicine and Chief of Staff at Thompson Peak Hospital — before moving into health informatics leadership. He is best known in the industry for leading HonorHealth's enterprise-wide deployment of Abridge ambient AI documentation across its physician and advanced practice provider workforce, notably bypassing a traditional pilot phase after a multi-year evaluation process.
“HonorHealth deployed Abridge to 500 physicians and, within two months, had a waiting list of 150 more doctors requesting access.”
“Norquist acknowledged that a small but significant chunk of practitioners in his health system are concerned around data privacy when it comes to AI recording doctor-patient calls, and if it could be a liability to malpractice suits.”
