According to McKinsey, automation in healthcare could save the industry up to $360 billion annually, primarily through improved efficiency in administrative tasks. 

Examples

Clinical summary generation: Automatically generate concise, structured summaries of patient visits, reducing the time clinicians spend on documentation, while improving accuracy and compliance. 

Medical code extraction: Extract accurate ICD-10 codes from clinical notes, ensuring precise billing and minimizing claim denials. 

Business benefits: 

  • Reduce overall coding costs with automated medical coding extraction. 
  • Minimize claim denials caused by erroneous medical coding. 
  • Ensure HIPAA compliance with 100% Azure cloud deployment. 
  • Seamlessly integrate with existing EMR/EHR systems. 

Use Case 2: Healthcare support assistant 

Gen AI-powered Healthcare Support Assistants empower patients by delivering personalized information, enhancing engagement and decision-making. They also streamline administrative tasks, reducing clinician workload and enabling more efficient, patient-focused care.  

Examples

Appointment agent for scheduling: Automate appointment booking by understanding patient preferences, availability, and doctor schedules, ensuring seamless coordination. 

Medication agent for personalized information: Provide patients with detailed, tailored information about their prescribed medications, including dosage and potential side effects. 

Virtual front desk assistant: A 24/7 digital assistant that handles patient inquiries about billing, appointments, and general health concerns, improving service efficiency. 

Business benefits: 

  • Round-the-clock availability for quick issue resolution. 
  • Deliver accurate, personalized information to patients. 
  • Enhance productivity for healthcare professionals. 

Use Case 3: GenAI-augmented CLS health website 

Generative AI can transform how patients interact with healthcare websites by implementing advanced search functionalities that deliver personalized recommendations. This allows patients to find relevant healthcare providers quickly, thus improving overall satisfaction and engagement. According to a McKinsey survey, nearly 90% of patients who have used virtual care reported being satisfied with the service, displaying the effectiveness of virtual assistants in improving patient satisfaction score. 

Examples

Healthcare query system for doctor search: Use semantic search to match patients with the most relevant doctors based on specialty, location, and specific needs. 

Multi-modal search for advanced queries: Enable patients to search using text, voice, or image inputs (e.g., uploading a prescription) for a more intuitive experience. 

Integrated appointment scheduling tool: Allow users to book appointments directly after finding a suitable doctor, streamlining the patient journey. 

Business benefits: 

  • Improved patient satisfaction through an intuitive search experience. 
  • Personalized and accurate doctor recommendations. 
  • Enhanced patient engagement through a more effective portal 

Use Case 4: Conversational Data Intelligence 

GenAI in Healthcare and Life Sciences empowers stakeholders with conversational data intelligence, allowing them to interact with structured data more intuitively. A Gen AI-powered conversational assistant helps quickly extracts actionable insights, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. 

Examples

Conversational data assistant for SQL queries: Users can ask natural language questions (e.g., "How many patients were admitted with respiratory issues last month?"), and the assistant instantly generates SQL queries to retrieve answers instantly. 

Self-service data analysis tool: Empower non-technical users to perform complex data analysis tasks without needing IT support, democratizing access to insights. 

Real-time insights extraction from databases: Enable stakeholders to get actionable insights on-demand by querying live databases through conversational interfaces.
