Abstracting clinical data is essential for hospitals to improve patient care, demonstrate quality, and comply with regulations. However, current manual methods of clinical data abstraction are laborious, time-consuming, expensive, and fail to consistently produce the highest quality data.
Carta Healthcare was selected for its unprecedented advancements in clinical data abstraction through its hybrid intelligence approach, which combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with deep clinical expertise.
For health systems, Carta Healthcare has reduced clinical data abstraction costs by 50% or more, decreased clinical data abstraction time by up to two-thirds, and delivered the highest quality data as measured by inter-rater reliability (IRR) measures. Carta Healthcare leads the industry, achieving an average IRR of 98-99% across all clients.
“Winning the Merit Award for two consecutive years is recognition that our hybrid intelligence approach provides accurate, actionable data for registries and analytics, while reducing costs and improving operational efficiencies for hospitals and health systems nationwide,” Dover said.
