Cognimatch: Patient Data Cleansing with AI

In today's landscape, where efficient patient data management is vital to ensuring quality healthcare, Above-Net presents its latest innovation: Cognimatch . This new feature of the Bridgecare is transforming how healthcare institutions manage and validate information, solving complex registration challenges with advanced technology.

The Challenge of Patient Data Management

Accurate patient data management faces multiple obstacles. Legacy systems, often developed without considering the importance of mandatory fields such as CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID), date of birth, and mother's name, allow for the registration of incomplete or incorrect information. Healthcare professionals, pressured by the urgency of care, may fill them out incorrectly or even opt for shortcuts, use abbreviations, or omit data considered non-essential at the moment.

This reality becomes even more complicated when we consider:

Multiplicity of Systems

Different legacy systems within a healthcare network, each with its own characteristics, or departments within the same hospital that may utilize distinct systems – electronic health records (EHR), laboratory systems (LIS), and imaging systems (PACS) – each with its own standards and registration requirements.

Homonyms and Name Variations

Accurate identification becomes a challenge when we find records such as "Maria da Silva" and variations like "M. Silva" that may represent the same patient with different registrations.

Fraud

Whether it's public or private healthcare, the attempt to defraud the system is constant. From the use of health plans by unauthorized individuals to the misuse of benefits belonging to deceased persons, it requires attention and a reliable, verified database.

Historical Data

Inconsistent records create a fragmented database with duplicate and contradictory information about the same patient. Eventually, this database becomes unreliable and management becomes impossible.

Cognimatch: A Revolutionary Solution

Cognimatch pending issues, Cognimatch corrects and enriches records, creating a "Gold" database .

How the System Works

1. Real-Time Search:
   Using basic information such as name and date of birth, Cognimatch performs simultaneous searches in its own and third-party databases, including public agencies, with impressive accuracy and speed – the entire process is completed in 20 milliseconds .
2. Intelligent Algorithms:
   The system analyzes the matches found and assigns a probability index to each one, automatically suggesting highly reliable additions and corrections.
3. Proactive Correction
   When it identifies consistent records, Cognimatch can:
   • To supplement missing information;
   • Correct incorrect data and synchronize with the original system;
   • Unify duplicate records;
   • Standardize formats across systems.

Practical Benefits for Healthcare Institutions

• Continuous Database Improvement: Unlike traditional systems, where data quality tends to degrade over time, Cognimatch promotes constant evolution. Each query improves data quality, ensuring a reliable and consistency-free database.
• Reducing Clinical Risks: Accurate and unified data are essential for safe and effective medical decisions.
• Operational Efficiency: Automates repetitive tasks, freeing up the team to focus on strategic activities.
• Universal Compatibility: A crucial feature of Cognimatch is its ability to work with legacy systems without requiring structural changes. Using minimal information such as name and date of birth, it's possible to correctly identify a patient.
• Privacy and Security: Full compliance with industry regulations. Cognimatch was developed with a focus on data privacy and security. All queries and validations follow rigorous security protocols, in full compliance with healthcare industry regulations. The system uses only encrypted connections and official data from authorized sources, ensuring the reliability of the information.
• Fraud Prevention: In addition to patient data, Cognimatch indicates other relevant information such as death registration, date and location for the interruption of services or automatic benefits granted to these patients.
• Integration with the Bridgecare Ecosystem : Integrated with Bridgecare , which already manages data from over 30 million patients, Cognimatch works in conjunction with Cognilink to ensure not only the accuracy of records but also the quality of integrations between systems. Together, they promote a robust and reliable database.
