Wolters Kluwer, Health has announced that MicroMD®, Henry Schein Medical Systems’ practice management, and electronic medical record (EMR) solution, will implement the Health Language clinical Natural Language Processing (cNLP) solution to help accelerate and optimize patient medical record review. The latest integration from Wolters Kluwer enables clinicians to unlock the value of unstructured clinical information for more complete patient insights.
By extracting clinically relevant data locked in unstructured text, such as medical history and free-form notes, Health Language cNLP helps enable clinicians to glean a more complete picture of a patient’s health which can drive better outcomes.
Industry estimates suggest that more than 80% of valuable healthcare information is locked in unstructured text, requiring manual review of each patient record that contributes to increased risk of human error, time, and cost. Health Language cNLP helps to mitigate these challenges by automating the review of unstructured data, extracting clinically relevant information, codifying information to broadly understood industry standards, and mapping information to a patient’s record.
Health Language cNLP uses a proprietary library of more than one million provider-friendly terms including clinical synonyms, abbreviations, acronyms, and common misspellings. This vast scope captures innumerable variations of text notations entered in a patient record by doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and assistants. Capturing vital patient insights helps practitioners make educated decisions about the unique needs of each patient, helping them deliver high-quality, comprehensive patient care across care teams.
This is the latest integration of Wolters Kluwer’s Health Language technology in Henry Schein’s MicroMD practice management and electronic medical record. The organization implemented Wolters Kluwer’s Clinical Interface Terminology solution in January 2021 with the goal of helping clinicians improve clinical documentation accuracy with smarter problem and diagnosis searches.
