3M and NLP
April 18, 2010
Natural Language Processing (NLP) seems to be the hot topic of late. More and more technology companies are utilizing this in their software packages. 3M has released the next generation computer-assisted coding for both inpatient and outpatient coding. You can see 3M’s next generation NLP system for coding patient intake forms by downloading the demo from this link. With claims of improving productivity and decreasing costs, 3M shares a product study that produced immediate results. A small controlled study measured the improvement a hospital might see when they install 3M Codefinder Computer-Assisted Edition for inpatient coding. Within a single afternoon—and with only one hour of training—coders were able to reduce the time spent coding records by nearly 30 percent. The time savings became even greater as the complexity of the medical records increased. Impressive claims, check it out for yourself.
