Leave Medical Data Management To MDS





Medical reports, medical records, medical data! These words are irrefutable for insurance companies and medical lawyers. Every day insurance companies and lawyers are struggling with an enormous data scattered in a pile of documents. Searching relevant data for review is a big task. Going through different report types from complex records like anesthesia reports, operative reports, assessment sheets and flow sheets to simple records like prescriptions or nurse’s orders requires a lot of time and complete focus to capture minute details of patient’s treatment. These records range from hundred to thousand pages with vital data on every corner of the document. The data is also not in a legible format. It many a times has illegible tag due to bad handwriting or poor scanning. The information in mostly mentioned with medical abbreviations and jargons. How anyone can expect lawyers and claim representatives to convert this big data into short summaries? Insane, isn’t it?

What if these pages get arranged in the systematic way showing the medical events and treatment journey in a systematic way? How about having a meaningful data captured and represented in meaningful way where review time gets reduced drastically? Is this possible?
Of course, this is very much possible and in practice! Medical data summarization is the answer!

Medical Data Summary:
Arranging medical records date wise, according to the report time is one of the advantages of medical data summarization. Searching missing pages and arranging it to show complete report, arranging the reports based on report types if required is done during MDS. Data on every page read and interpreted rightly by medical expert and converted into a short summary which shows the complete picture of the patient’s visit on a particular day or hospitalization is main feature of summarization process.

  • Time saved during accessing the medical information.
  • Less paperwork and better archival options.
  • Increased quality of the source data due to multiple reviews.
