Intermountain Health is headquartered in Salt Lake City and operates in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming. Its website lists 33 hospitals, including one virtual hospital, more than 400 clinics, and more than 68,000 caregivers, along with Select Health, its health plan. Intermountain merged with SCL Health in 2022, and its hospitals and clinics in Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming continue a Catholic mission. The system describes its caregivers as sharing practices across one integrated organization. HTS has covered its work with Abridge on ambient documentation and its use of autonomous medical coding.
