Problem the AI is intended to solve
- Reduce manual process of opening record for review. - Triage urgent veteran follow up needs by recognizing urgent or routine in boxes. - Kick back record requests missing important clerical details like signatures, names, or ICD 10 codes. - Summarize Physical Therapy (PT) care records for VA practitioners to act on. - Reduce clinical errors and manpower / manual resources in clinically evaluating forms - Reduce clinical manpower and cloud storage in uploading duplicate documents
Expected benefits
- Decrease clerical and clinical costs related to record management. - Increase Registered Nurse (RN) licensure to provide direct care. Too many RNs are pulled into record management, which takes them away from frontline needs. - Decrease Veteran harm or death - Increase Veteran satisfaction - Decrease burnout
