BayScribe and NLP International enter into Strategic Partnership.
BayScribe takes next step in developing end-to-end web-based Clinical
Documentation System with the MedLEE Portal
Edgewater, MD — June 24, 2010 —
BayScribe enters into a strategic partnership to integrate and
develop applications that leverage the unique capabilities of the
MedLEE™
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
technology from NLP International.
NLP International has created a universal SaaS portal to give healthcare
facilities, MTSOs and Clinical Documentation Systems, like BayScribe’s
Cloud-based platform, access to a broad range of applications designed to
support automated, low-cost healthcare solutions to improve Quality,
EHR Adoption and accelerate
Meaningful Use.
BayScribe plans to jointly advance these applications in cooperation with NLP
International, healthcare pundits and other MTSOs to offer these valuable
solutions to inpatient and outpatient health providers and organizations. The
combination of these technologies creates an end-to-end web services solution
available from no other company.
The MedLEE™ Natural
Language Processing engine codifies standard text documents for data
extraction, thereby enabling Discrete Reportable Transcription (DRT). MedLEE™
was developed over the course of 20 years by Columbia University
in New York and is a powerful patented NLP engine that automates analytics,
reporting and alerting for outflows such as Core Measures, Present
on Admission (POA), PQRI, Patient Summary review, coding and billing support,
decision support, clinical trials and more. MedLEE™ has been
successfully tested by large hospital systems and government agencies, including
Columbia University, the New York Presbyterian Hospital, the National Cancer
Institute and the U.S. Department of Defense and is considered the gold standard
of Natural Language Processing Solutions.
"We believe that integrating BayScribe with MedLEE creates an end-to-end
Clinical Documentation System that is unparalleled in the healthcare industry,”
said Ron Neuenberger, President of BayScribe. "We believe that the physician
narrative will continue to be the preferred method of documenting patient
encounters for some time because it's quick, easy and supports a thorough
analysis. It's our obligation to bring this difference-making technology to
Healthcare facilities, directly or indirectly, through NLP International's
platform-neutral portal. Dictation and Transcription isn’t dying; it’s evolving,
and we believe it will be a critical documentation component for many years, and
MedLEE enables the data extraction everyone needs,” added Steven Bonney, V.P. of
Business Development at BayScribe.
"A significant proportion of the nation's electronic healthcare records exist in
the form of unstructured text - such as word or PDF - and the amount of that
data is growing dramatically," noted Bernie Keppler, founder and CEO of NLP
International. "MedLEE is a perfect match for the healthcare professionals since
it enables physicians to adopt EMR’s with no decrease in their volume.
Healthcare organizations will be able to meet the governmental and economic
challenges by significantly reduce costs, by creating interoperable data and
have the metrics to report on outcomes. Our partnership with BayScribe is
representative of how MTSO are enabling healthcare providers and organizations
to realize this value,' added Kyle Silvestro, V.P. of Corporate Strategy and
Business Development at NLP International.
