Pharma is engineering drug delivery with nanoparticles. Biotech is growing mini “organoids” to test new kinds of treatments. Precision medicine is mapping multi-omics for hyper-personalized care. All of it’s new, exciting, and transformative… except for the part where it all still starts with someone filling out a paper form. In healthcare and life sciences, paper […]
Are we getting better at data entry? Surprisingly, not really. At least when it comes to healthcare. In a survey involving over 22,000 patients across three healthcare organizations, researchers found that more than 1 in 5 who accessed their electronic health records identified mistakes. 42% of these individuals considered the errors somewhat or very serious. A report […]
Intelligent document processing (IDP) is emerging as one of the most popular tools for “business transformation.” IDP solutions are generally used to digitize documents and their data by combining automated processing, AI technologies, third-party integrations, and optical character recognition (OCR). Unsurprisingly, most organizations only start thinking about IDP when processing documents faster and more reliably […]
If you’re looking for the “perfect” optical character recognition (OCR) solution, there’s probably one thing you want it to be more than anything else: Accurate. And you’re probably trying to find “the most accurate” option. What if I told you that OCR accuracy, while obviously important, doesn’t really matter in the way you might think? […]
Receipts, forms, contracts, IDs, and invoices — most organizations still use a whole lot of paper. It’s why OCR (optical character recognition) is the de facto king of digital transformation technology. If you’re making document digitization a priority, finding the best OCR software for your use case is critical. If you’re successful, you’ll be really […]
In 2021, Albertsons’ pharmacy technicians were overwhelmed with paper documents. Techs had to manually process a separate patient consent form for every COVID-19 vaccination they performed. Albertsons knew they had to find a better solution. They needed intelligent OCR software. The first problem was outsourcing to traditional third-party platforms was untenable since they were dealing with their customers’ […]
In the Spring of 2021, mass vaccinations for COVID-19 were well underway. Healthcare providers across the country were vaccinating thousands of people per day. And Albertsons, the nationwide pharmacy, realized they were generating a mountain of paper vaccine consent forms. These forms contained critical patient data and were needed for several reasons, including tracking, reporting, […]
