Leading health system UPMC has launched Realyze Intelligence, a company that uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to identify precise patient populations with chronic diseases and cancer to ensure they receive the most beneficial treatments.
The Realyze clinical intelligence platform "reads" both the detailed clinical notes and structured data from patients' electronic medical records (EMR). This deeper knowledge can be used by clinicians to identify precisely defined cohorts of patients who may be at higher risk of poor health outcomes, and those individuals can then be prioritized to receive appropriate care in a timely fashion.
"Patients aren't defined by their primary diagnosis. They are not just dealing with that one condition, but also many other factors that make them complex, and it currently is a manual, time-consuming effort to extract and use the relevant information from the EMR to ensure effective care," said Gilan El Saadawi, M.D., Ph.D., Realyze chief medical officer. "Realyze streamlines this process and quickly decodes the patient's 'story' so they get the best care." Providers use Realyze's web-based tools to quickly assess the data that already are present in patients' notes. The dynamic platform can be deployed within a provider's workflow, making the solution effective for a variety of patient conditions, including various cancers, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease.
