Streamlining Prescription Data Extraction Through Intelligent Document Processing

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Customer: A national healthcare and pharmacy benefits management company focused on the most complex areas of healthcare.

Challenge: To more easily extract prescription and drug-related data from faxed patient medical records. 

Solution: Infinia ML configured our Intelligent Document Processing platform for the customer to expedite the document review process and relieve manual processing resources. 

Challenge:

Reviewing multiple types of patient-related documents for information

Our customer came to us because they were processing patient prescription requests manually. Their process involved the review of several pages of patient health records, electronic medical records, scanned patient information, faxes, and physicians’ handwritten notes, which took hours and had a high potential for human error. This customer wanted to mitigate the cost and hours spent manually reviewing these documents and create an automated document review process. 

Solution:

Patient data extraction within a hybrid cloud environment

Infinia ML configured our IDP platform for automated review of patient records designed to exist in a hybrid integration environment. This solution met stringent data security requirements while still offering the benefits of a managed service cloud platform for document processing. Secure hybrid integration was vital due to the sensitive nature of healthcare information and regulatory compliance requirements involved.

A human-in-the-loop component was also built into the configuration to confirm and improve the performance of the solution and as a way to scale to new policies and customers in the future.

Value:

Significant time savings and business value-add

Infinia ML used our machine learning and healthcare industry expertise to develop algorithms that extract prescription processing data. The customer reduced the number of hours dedicated to higher-cost resources to support the current process, enabling them to deploy their team to higher-value tasks within the business.

The customer also realized value quickly because their configuration was built on a library of data and proprietary algorithms.

Applying these techniques elsewhere

Infinia IDP can help streamline document processes across a variety of industries.

This same machine learning technology can be applied to a number of other use cases to automatically find context and relevance in unstructured data:

  • Read complex legal and financial documents to find the important clauses
  • Identify, extract, and redact sensitive information from documents and records
  • Automatically read and process intake forms, loan applications, invoices, and more.
