Problem the AI is intended to solve

Due to the rating decision's dependence on the preceding steps of the rating process, there is often a backlog of claims and significant rework required to complete a rating on a claim. A need exists for a specialized, automated solution to complete several pieces of the Rating process to expedite the delivery of benefits and awards to Veterans, and to reduce errors and delays resulting from remediation.

Expected benefits

Smart Rating Recommendation empowers VSRs in the Ratings workflow to leverage AI-generated ratings of select claim and contention types in order to lower processing times for a Rating Decision to be made. This is done by allowing RVSRs to leverage AI analysis of selected claims and contentions, and provide a proposed Rating to the user to confirm or review manually themselves.

System outputs

The output is a rating recommendation that the Ratings VSR can approve or reject. It is not finalized until the RVSR takes action.
