Secure Exchange Solutions Selects Linguamatics NLP to Streamline Inefficiencies Between Healthcare Payers and ProvidersCAMBRIDGE, England and ROCKVILLE, Md., June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Linguamatics, the leading natural language processing (NLP) text analytics provider, and Secure Exchange Solutions (SES), a market leader in enabling the secure exchange of health information, today announced the selection of Linguamatics Health as the NLP platform for SES SPOT, a solution that, when combined with SES Fetch, streamlines clinical information exchange and automates the review process. Inefficient medical review processes (either before or after submitting claims) are major contributors to rising costs in healthcare systems. SES SPOT was developed to evaluate clinical information to help control costs and improve outcomes so that patients receive the appropriate care rapidly, reducing manual effort for providers and public or private health plans, and providingthe opportunity to dramatically save time and money. SES SPOT includes Linguamatics I2E to provide Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract information from both free text and codified data in an electronic medical record, to compare extracted data with guidelines, and to return evidence, recommendations and an audit trail to automate or semi-automate approval of claims. "After an exhaustive review of 17 vendors, SES selected Linguamatics as the NLP engine most effective at identifying and extracting key clinical criteria, and for providing a reasoning layer to make a recommendation," said Tom McGraw, SES senior vice president of product and government business. "Combining Linguamatics NLP technology with other SES components will deliver the solutions needed to help relieve the pressure on both public and private healthcare systems caused by shifts in population demographics," explained SES CEO Dan Kazzaz. "The complexity of prior authorization and medical review means that there are major inefficiencies in these processes that impact cost, patient care and outcomes," said Simon Beaulah, senior director, healthcare at Linguamatics. "SES and Linguamatics are tackling this challenge with AI approaches that streamline identification of clinical factors and provide recommendations and evidence to speed medical review. Significant savings can be achieved by automatically extracting, analyzing and summarizing all the evidence in the medical record related to the claim." About Linguamatics Linguamatics I2E is used to mine a wide variety of text resources, such as scientific literature, patents, Electronic Health Records (EHRs), clinical trials data, news feeds, social media and proprietary content. I2E can be deployed as an in-house enterprise system, or as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on the cloud.
