Context & Objectives

A leading healthcare provider seeking to streamline patient intake and reduce administrative workload.

Manual patient intake processes created inefficiencies and operational bottlenecks:

  • Time-Consuming: Staff spent excessive hours collecting and entering patient data.
  • Error-Prone: Manual entry led to record inaccuracies and compliance risks.
  • High Costs: Significant investment in clerical support to manage intake.
  • Patient Frustration: Long intake times and redundant data requests lowered satisfaction.
  • Limited Scalability: Growing patient volumes strained existing workflows.

 

Approach & Solution

The VIG system will be developed iteratively, integrating AI, structured knowledge bases, and human expertise to maximize efficiency while ensuring quality and compliance. Key components include:

  • Rx Analysis Automation: AI-powered extraction and validation of prescription details.
  • Knowledge Base Development: Centralized repository linking drug and insurer-specific requirements.
  • Conversational Assistance: AI chatbot for real-time Guide support.
  • Feedback & Refinement: Continuous learning from human input to improve accuracy.
  • Integration with LISA: Enhancements to the existing insurance interaction phone bot.
  • Patient Insights Platform: Data-driven analytics for clinical and operational improvements.

 

Upon implementation, the VIG system is expected to:

  • Automate complex workflows, reducing errors and processing time.
  • Scale expert knowledge, enabling all Guides to benefit from real-time decision support.
  • Provide data-driven insights to improve operational performance.
  • Ensure a smooth transition from the LISA platform with long-term sustainability.

 

Results & Added Value
