The consensus is that healthcare, like most industries (i.e. financial services, logistics, manufacturing etc) are facing a problem that can’t be handled by hiring their way out of it.  Hiring at this point is difficult to do.  The job market is adding a record number of jobs and there isn’t the talent pool that existed before the pandemic.  Even at that time the economy was showing signs of overheating based on the hiring cycle. The truth of the matter is that with this talent gap and reduced revenues in healthcare, organizations are forced to do “more with less.” Companies simply need to become more efficient and rely on the technology that is readily available today.  Both RPA and AI are reliable and scalable enough to solve most of this need.  Based on the study of a $2Billion NPR (see the graphic) performed by Avia, there are clearly costs that can be saved with “low hanging fruit” automations out of the gate. I would argue that some of the numbers are relatively conservative based on my experience in the healthcare space.

I was intrigued when I read a quote from various IT leaders of what healthcare in five years.   All were in agreement that healthcare will be digital healthcare.   Specifically, from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Breton Burns, VP of innovations.   “Digital tools are allowing us to think outside of our traditional walls to provide care across a diversity of formats and settings, including via telemedicine or in the home,”   This should be the warning bell for all Healthcare providers in 2023.  The speed of change will be rapid and for a traditionally technology laggard.

Example:

Case 1: -GPT identifies the duplicate (the robot throws the BRE -procedures already requested)

Procedures to be requested = Venaseal LEFT  SSV + LEFT AAGSV + RIGHT  SSV + RIGHT AAGSV

Reasons of existing referrals = APPROVED MNM VSEAL 36482X4 BIL SSV, BIL AAGSV / VARITHENA 36465X2 BIL GSV

=APPROVED MNM VENASEAL 36482 BIL GSV

CampTek Question: YES or NO, confidence % and how the confidence is calculated, the procedures from this string ‘Venaseal LEFT  SSV + LEFT AAGSV + RIGHT  SSV + RIGHT AAGSV with CPT code 36482’ appear in this string ‘APPROVED MNM VSEAL 36482X4 BIL SSV, BIL AAGSV / VARITHENA 36465X2 BIL GSV’. Please consider CPT code 36478 means EVLA; 36475 means RFA; 36482 means Venaseal; 37765 means Phlebectomy; 36465 means Varithena; 36471 means Sclero

GPT response: YES, confidence 90%.

The confidence is calculated based on the matching of the procedures and CPT codes between the two strings. The presence of “Venaseal LEFT SSV + LEFT AAGSV + RIGHT SSV + RIGHT AAGSV with CPT code 36482” in the first string matches with “VSEAL 36482X4 BIL SSV, BIL AAGSV” in the second string. Similarly, the presence of “VARITHENA 36465X2 BIL GSV” in the second string matches with “LEFT SSV + RIGHT SSV with CPT code 36465” in the first string. The presence of both Venaseal and Varithena procedures with the same bilateral SSV and AAGSV in both strings further supports the confident match.
