Bridging the Gap: Leveraging AI to Power a Patient Phenotype

With many organizations moving towards a value-based care model, it is critical that clinicians have access to a patient's complete medical history to ensure that the care delivered reflects a patient's unique health needs when they need it most. However, with 80% of patient data unstructured, it is difficult for clinicians to access a clear picture of a patient's health history, let alone manage the amount and various forms of patient data that they must sift through to make the appropriate clinical assessment.

Prior to electronic health record systems (EHRs), paper charts made it difficult for medical offices to keep patient data accessible and current, leading to an incomplete picture of the patient. Even now, with the developments of EHRs, there is still a large amount of patient data that is siloed across different systems and formats, still making it challenging to read through and filter down to relevant data…until now.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that creates new possibilities for healthcare. The power of AI can assist clinicians from improving clinical decision-making to reducing administrative workload to driving financial performance in value-based care. AI enables these opportunities with its ability to:

  • Extract patient data across various EHRs, formats, and other systems
  • Enable the assembly of the data with NLP
  • Scan through a patient's data with machine learning and deep learning techniques to drive new insights about the patient

AI can arm clinicians with a clear picture of a patient's longitudinal medical record and ultimately power a patient phenotype.

Understanding the Patient Longitudinal Medical Record and Patient Phenotype

The patient's longitudinal medical record is needed to identify a patient's current state of health based on a comprehensive view of the member's healthcare history. In order to build this longitudinal patient record, it is imperative to have a system that can accurately capture a variety of patient health data such as past diagnosed conditions, lab results, medications, procedures, etc., from disparate systems.

This longitudinal summary of a patient care journey is only the beginning, as deriving relevant and timely insights is more challenging but necessary for a successful value-based care program. That is why Datavant has developed its Clinical Data Insights platform. This comprehensive solution seeks to transform clinical data and enable/healthcare decision-makers to drive better outcomes.
