Medical Transactions: A Perfect Storm – Data Harmony offers a solution

John Kuranz, CEO of Access Integrity, Inc., will relay how implementation of electronic medical records (EMRs) has increased dramatically since the federal government’s “meaningful use” initiative. Studies have proven EMRs to be a valuable source of information for diagnostic research, coding enhancement, and understanding of an overall patient encounter. Additionally, research has shown that the text content in EMRs often contain important information relevant to outcomes, concomitant diseases, procedures, interventions, and test results in observational studies. Manual review of EMRs is time-consuming, subjective, and inefficient. Furthermore, manually applying codes and terms as metadata to index records is laborious. The solution to these problems is the use of machine-aided indexing software to extract diagnostic and other clinical information.
