Data Gap
It has long been a challenge in the medical information industry to unlock structured medical information from within the traditionally available medical record images. Many technology solutions have entered the market. However, technology alone cannot provide the context that makes structured data so valuable.
“Tech Only” solutions fail to deliver reliable health data.
Data without context cannot be relied upon to support research outcomes, underwriting and claims decisions, or disability determinations.
- While technology can successfully identify the medical condition “lung cancer”, it cannot reliably indicate whether the patient currently has lung cancer, had lung cancer, or had a family member with lung cancer.
- While technology can successfully identify a date, it cannot reliably indicate whether that date is the most recent date of service, the date scheduled for a future appointment, or the date indicating when the image was last faxed.
- While technology can identify a medical condition “diabetes” noted as a Chief Complaint, it cannot reliably indicate whether the patient currently has diabetes or is suspected of having diabetes.
