SmarTec Nurse Assist, Sagility’s purpose-built clinical operations orchestration solution, has been shortlisted for The 2026 SaaS Awards in the category of Best SaaS Product for Healthcare and Life Sciences. Managed by the global cloud computing awards body, The Cloud Awards, this international software-as-a-service program celebrates sector-specific expertise, technical innovation, and exceptional product engineering. First launched in 2016, the awards program recognizes technical prowess in critical operational areas such as artificial intelligence, data, and content management. The recognition highlights the role of domain-specific technology in modernizing heavily regulated healthcare workflows.
Award Timing
The selection comes at a critical time as healthcare organizations encounter a structural crisis in prior authorization and utilization management. Rising clinical labor shortages, strict regulatory oversight, and escalating administrative waste place immense strain on both health plans and providers.
Developed to Process Clinical Data
Developed to address these long-standing inefficiencies, SmarTec Nurse Assist integrates advanced natural language processing and document intelligence to process clinical data from unstructured sources safely. The platform utilizes a human-in-the-loop governance structure that provides transparent, confidence-scored recommendations and audit trails to support clinician trust and compliance oversight. As global technology buyers become more discerning amid tightening budgets and heightened performance expectations, the platform stands out by successfully blending engineering ingenuity with demonstrable, evidence-based results.
Over 2 Million Authorizations Reviews Handled Annually
SmarTec Nurse Assist currently handles over 2.1 million authorization reviews annually, achieving a 94% accuracy rate. By automating routine data extraction and intake tasks, the software reduces clinician administrative workloads by more than 80% and cuts complex case review times by approximately 40%. This enables healthcare organizations to manage three times the case volume with 40% fewer full-time equivalents, successfully decoupling operational growth from overhead costs.
The SaaS Awards program will now move into its second round of judging to determine the finalists in each category. The initial assessment panel reviewed entries from all corners of the globe, and the upcoming second round of judging will whittle down the shortlist to a final selection of competing innovators.
