Problem the AI is intended to solve

Providing Timely care to veterans.

Expected benefits

This AI tool will ensure timely care for veterans especially when there's a new diagnosis for a chronic condition, and it needs much improved coordination of care between facilities and community care. This will reduce readmissions, hospitalizations and enhance quality of care and life expectancy for veterans. This will save VA in millions of dollars spent in ER care, acute care, readmissions and hospitalizations.

System outputs

The AI tool will update a dashboard for monitoring diagnosis and timely relay of results back to providers. This AI application will be a monitoring tool for providers and leadership to track timely care for veterans in their facility.
