Over time, EHR vendors have tried to ease administrative burden by layering in add-on features: task lists, templates, basic automation. But ask any dermatologist or practice manager, and the story is the same — these add-ons rarely solve the real problem.

They still require clicks, toggling, and staff effort. They provide incremental relief at best, while administrative tasks continue to pile up.

Honey Health takes a different approach. Instead of bolting on more features, it embeds AI co-workers directly inside the EHR to execute workflows end-to-end with little to no staff involvement. The difference isn’t subtle. It’s transformative.

The Limitations of Traditional EHR Add-Ons

1. Limited Scope

Add-ons typically address one or two workflows (e.g., scheduling reminders or simple chart templates). Dermatology practices, however, face a wide spectrum of tasks: prior authorizations, referrals, refills, chart prep, and photodocumentation. Add-ons rarely cover the full scope.

2. Click-Heavy Interfaces

Instead of removing steps, many EHR features add more. Staff must navigate new modules, click through menus, or learn new workflows.

3. Poor Scalability

For multi-location dermatology groups, EHR add-ons often function inconsistently across sites, leading to fragmented processes.

4. Staff Reliance

Even with add-ons, staff remain heavily involved in every step. Automation is partial at best.

5. Cosmetic Blind Spots

EHR add-ons are rarely built with cosmetic dermatology in mind, leaving gaps in before-and-after photo management or elective procedure workflows.

What Honey Health Brings to the Table

Honey Health is not an add-on — it’s an agentic AI back office platform. Honey’s AI co-workers don’t suggest tasks or create templates. They do the work.

End-to-End Workflow Automation

Honey automates:

• Chart Preparation: Pulls labs, notes, and history before the visit.
• Prior Authorizations: Completes and submits payer forms with required documentation.
• Refill Requests: Verifies eligibility, drafts orders, and routes for provider approval.
• Fax & Referral Intake: Reads faxes, classifies them, and attaches them to the right patient chart.
• Photodocumentation: Tags, organizes, and integrates images seamlessly into records.
• Post-Visit Orders: Drafts orders and follow-up instructions automatically.

EHR-Native Integration

Honey operates invisibly inside the EHR. There’s no toggling, no new UI, no retraining. For staff and providers, it feels like an extra team member — not another system.

Loop & Hive Technology

Honey’s proprietary AI engines, trained on tens of millions of notes and faxes, enable accurate, real-time execution across any dermatology workflow.

Why This Matters for Dermatology

Dermatology is particularly vulnerable to administrative overload:

• Cosmetic patients expect seamless communication and photo tracking.
• Medical patients need quick prior authorizations and timely refills.
• Multi-location groups struggle to maintain consistency without added headcount.

EHR add-ons provide small patches; Honey Health provides systemic relief.

A Practical Example

Scenario: A dermatology practice using an EHR’s add-on module for fax management. Staff still:

• Review every fax manually
• Re-type referral data into the chart
• Route documents by hand to providers

Result: Hours wasted daily, with frequent errors and dropped referrals.

With Honey Health:

• AI co-workers classify faxes automatically
• Patient data is extracted and linked to the correct chart
• Referrals are routed instantly for scheduling

Result: No backlog, fewer errors, and more time for patient-facing staff duties.

The ROI Difference

Traditional add-ons might save a few minutes per task. Honey saves hours per day per provider, translating into:

• Doubling practice margins
• Expanding patient volume without hiring
• Reducing burnout for staff and providers

The ROI isn’t incremental — it’s transformational.

Conclusion

Traditional EHR add-ons offer minor conveniences. They don’t eliminate the underlying burden of dermatology’s back office. Honey Health does.

By embedding AI co-workers directly into the EHR, Honey replaces fragmented, click-heavy processes with seamless automation. The result: dermatology practices that run smoother, scale faster, and deliver better care — without adding staff.

For clinics weighing EHR add-ons versus Honey Health, the choice is clear: if you want true automation, scalability, and ROI, Honey is the future of dermatology operations.
