(AHIMA Booth #426) – A2iA ([.]A2iA), the worldwide leading developer of cursive handwriting and machine-printed text recognition, and intelligent document classification software, will showcase A2iA DocumentReader™ at the upcoming AHIMA Convention & Exhibit in Salt Lake City, UT, October 2-5. Fully integratable into Computer Assisted Coding (CAC) solutions, A2iA DocumentReader’s advanced recognition technology provides intelligence and meaningful use while streamlining coding applications. By automatically routing the information and identifying key data points and medical terms on both printed and cursive handwritten documents, relieving the medical coder of full research, A2iA DocumentReader optimizes the billing and the revenue cycles by saving time, money and delivering faster results, even with the transition to ICD-10.
“Most coding processes use manual keying and sorting of clinical documentation, but in order to expedite billing and to remain compliant with ICD-10, medical coders must adopt a CAC process that uses intelligent technology, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) or Natural Language Comprehension (NLC),” said Jean-Louis Fages, A2iA President & Chairman of the Board. “However, regardless of whether the application utilizes NLP, NLC or another core processor, the solution is only as accurate and efficient as the data that it utilizes.”
Without the use of any third-party technology, A2iA DocumentReader leaves room for customization and complete control of its engines. Printed and cursive handwritten data that is automatically lifted can be mapped to a custom list of medical terms, such as those in a SNOMED dictionary, turning digital data into usable and searchable electronic information. Thisdata can then be automatically routed and indexed to the appropriate category so that the coding process is improved -- saving time, money and delivering faster, more accurate results.
