Utah Hospital automates treatment coding using NLP increasing coder productivity by 21% and reducing hospital acquired conditions by 63%

Utah Hospital used 360 Encompass system from 3M to better understand patient data through documentation and come up with uniform treatment and billing coding. The solution uses NLP to analyze write-ups and generate code. Better communication with CDI reviewers, coders and physicians resulted in reduced PSIs and HACs and improved productivity.
