Problem
80 – 90% of all hospital EMR data is in the format of unstructured data
Unstructured data makes data retrieval complex, slow, error-prone and time-consuming.
Retrieving unstructured data requires significant workforce time and personnel.
CODING, regulatory reporting, operational/clinical analyses, quality improvement, patient outcome studies, and research all depend heavily on unstructured data.
Accordingly, retrieving unstructured data in a hospital’s normal course of operations results in:
High personnel requirements and thus high payroll costs
Lost revenue in CODING errors
Significant limitations on the depth, accuracy, and timeliness of core hospital programs such as clinical
Quality improvement, operational excellence, research, population health
Solution
NLP abstracts unstructured data in an EMR and converts it into structured data, so written documents of all types, such as surgical notes, pathology reports, and history and physicals, become structured data and easily accessed.
NLP thus eliminates the arduous analytical retrieval tasks of reviewing individually written documents when analyzing clinical and operational data and, very importantly, when CODING.
