Solventum

What is Solventum and who sells it?

Solventum Corp (NYSE: SOLV) is headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota. It was spun out of 3M in April 2024, and the software side is the former 3M Health Information Systems. The company also sells medical, oral care and wound-care products, and it sold its purification and filtration business to Thermo Fisher on 1 September 2025 for about $4B in cash.

The health information unit has about $1.4B in annual revenue, operates in more than 30 countries and, by Solventum's count in an August 2026 press release, is embedded in over 75% of US hospitals. On 5 August 2026 the company announced it intends to separate the unit, by spin-off or sale, over 12 to 18 months. One outlet, GuruFocus, reported on 9 October 2026 that Solventum is soliciting offers valued at $5.5B to $7B. Solventum has not confirmed that.

What does the software do?

The company lists speech recognition, coding, CDI, population health analytics, grouping, ambient documentation, consulting and outsourced services. Named platforms are the 360 Encompass System, a cloud platform and Fluency for speech.

Solventum's marketing claims up to 74% realized automation and 95% accuracy for ancillary services in 360 Encompass Autonomous Coding. Those are vendor figures for one service line.

Solventum's site names no EHR integrations, SOC 2 or HITRUST status. None covers coding software, which is not expected to need one.

What do customers say?

KLAS is the main independent source, and most comment text sits behind a login. The public figures: an overall Solventum score of 82.5 for October 2025 to October 2026, a 75.0 for 360 Encompass in computer-assisted coding on the vendor page, and 87.2 for the same product in the 2025 Best in KLAS coding ranking. The ranking's pillar grades run from A for loyalty and A- for relationship down to C+ for value.

The comments that are visible split along the same line. One respondent called it a "very useful tool" from a coding perspective, with easy training and good value. Others cited cost, slow enhancement requests and tuning needed after an EMR change. In the CDI comments, a manager said procedural and fracture coding mostly had to be done by hand, and gaps required workarounds. An IntuitionLabs listing averages 3.8 out of 5 from five reviews and describes implementation as complex and slow, with significant post-install optimization for coding.

What does the evidence say?

Nothing peer-reviewed evaluates the coding software. Papers that carry the Solventum or 3M name concern dental cements, composites, bonding agents and negative-pressure wound dressings.

What does it cost?

Solventum publishes no price. Contracts are enterprise agreements negotiated per hospital, and KLAS respondents mention cost as a complaint without giving figures.

The verdict

For a hospital with an established coding team, Solventum's platform belongs on the shortlist. Solventum counts over 75% of US hospitals as customers, and KLAS gives it an overall 82.5 but only a C+ for value in the 2025 ranking. The pending separation of the unit is the open risk, since the owner may change during a contract term. A small practice or an individual physician has no product here to buy.
