Overview

John Lynn of Healthcare IT Today interviews Bob Rogers (AI expert in residence, UCSF Center for Digital Health Innovation) and Sri Ambati (H2O.ai CEO) at HIMSS 2022 about UCSF's Document AI referral automation pipeline. UCSF receives 1.4 million faxes a year, roughly 300,000 of them referrals, once processed manually through a chain of review queues. The conversation covers how H2O and UCSF co-created the model despite outside experts calling it unsolvable, and the resulting gains in faster scheduling and fewer errors.

Key takeaways

How UCSF's Center for Digital Health Innovation used H2O Document AI to automate a referral pipeline handling 1.4 million faxes a year, about 300,000 of them referrals
Why outside experts initially said the extraction problem couldn't be solved, and how the first working results arrived within three weeks
How Document AI combines language context with document shape or layout to correctly interpret fields like patient names
How care coordinator corrections feed back into retraining the model, described as the difference between ongoing machine learning and a static machine-learned system
The resulting outcomes: faster patient scheduling, fewer errors from manual review variability, and strong adoption from care coordinators
