Fabric’s AI-driven technology and virtual care platform will enable Rush Connect to deliver patient access to care with ease.
Additionally, clinical teams will get access to the tools for expanding capacity and delivering quality care.
Rush Connect guides patients from initial signs of illness to receiving medical care via a digital experience.
It utilises Fabric’s 24/7 AI Assistant for real-time patient triage and navigation. The system is designed to alleviate the pressures of increased patient demand and clinician burnout, which are exacerbated by fragmented healthcare solutions.

This approach aims to lessen wait times, broaden access, and streamline the care process for both patients and providers, marking a significant shift towards Access-as-a-Service in healthcare.
Fabric founder and CEO Aniq Rahman said: “This collaboration is a great example of how our technology and clinical platform can scale to support new care models, ultimately enabling Rush to provide even better access to care for patients across the Midwest and setting a new standard for the entire country.”

Earlier this year, Rush University System for Health expanded its partnership with Suki to implement the Suki AI Assistant across its enterprise.
