An Affordable Artificial Intelligence Solution for Intelligent Document Processing of Faxed Documents
An affordable AI system successfully automated processing of 20 million faxed pages annually, reducing administrative burden substantially.
This NEJM Catalyst case report describes deployment of an AI document processing system at NYU Langone Health to automatically classify and route approximately 20 million faxed document-pages per year, achieving 62% automation at 90% lower cost than commercial alternatives during a 3-month pilot. The system reduced administrative burden but required extensive change management given entrenched clinical fax workflows.
