Streamlining patient care with AI-powered EMR intelligence, reducing intake time by 60% and improving treatment outcomes
Harbor Health Partners, a multi-specialty medical practice with 12 physicians serving 15,000+ active patients, was struggling with inefficiencies in their patient intake and treatment planning processes.
New patients spent 45+ minutes filling out repetitive paperwork, and physicians were spending valuable consultation time re-entering this data into the EMR. More critically, the wealth of historical patient data in their 100,000+ de-identified medical records was underutilized—patterns that could inform better treatment decisions remained buried in the system.
We built a HIPAA-compliant AI system that leverages de-identified historical EMR data to streamline patient intake and provide evidence-based treatment recommendations, all while maintaining complete patient privacy.
Analyzed 100,000+ historical patient records from their EMR, removing all Protected Health Information (PHI) while preserving clinical patterns. Implemented HIPAA-compliant de-identification following Safe Harbor method with expert verification.
Created an intelligent digital intake form that uses NLP to extract information from patient narratives, auto-fills related fields, and validates entries in real-time. Integrates directly with their existing EMR system via secure API.
Built a recommendation engine that analyzes new patient symptoms and history against de-identified historical cases. Provides physicians with evidence-based treatment suggestions, success rates from similar cases, and potential risk factors to consider.
The system continuously learns from new outcomes while maintaining strict HIPAA compliance. All new data is de-identified before analysis, and audit logs track every system interaction for regulatory compliance.
The system is built with privacy-first architecture. All historical data is de-identified using HIPAA Safe Harbor standards, stored on-premise, and encrypted at rest. No patient identifiable information is used in the AI training or recommendation process. Regular security audits ensure ongoing compliance.
Deployed over 8 weeks with rigorous HIPAA compliance verification at each stage:
Conducted comprehensive HIPAA compliance assessment, obtained Business Associate Agreement (BAA), established data handling protocols, and designed de-identification workflow with privacy officer approval.
De-identified 100,000+ patient records using HIPAA Safe Harbor method. Built and validated the clinical knowledge base, identifying treatment patterns and outcome correlations across different conditions.
Integrated smart intake forms with EMR via secure API. Built physician-facing recommendation interface. Conducted extensive testing with sample cases to ensure accuracy and clinical relevance.
Pilot program with 2 physicians and 50 patients. Gathered feedback, refined recommendations, and conducted physician training. Full rollout across all 12 physicians with ongoing support and monitoring.
New patient intake that previously took 45 minutes now completes in under 18 minutes. Physicians receive pre-populated, validated patient data and evidence-based treatment recommendations before the consultation even begins.
"This system has transformed how we practice medicine. We're now making better-informed decisions backed by patterns from 100,000+ de-identified cases, while our patients spend less time on paperwork and more time with their doctors. The improvement in outcomes and patient satisfaction speaks for itself."
