Referral Management for Population Health
summary
An AI system intercepts incoming fax and PDF referrals, extracts structured fields with a PDF extraction pipeline, classifies new versus existing patients, creates charts and enqueues outreach via SMS simulation. Referrals get a priority ranking by urgency; top entries trigger a three-call protocol and automated scheduling when a patient is reached. Prototype runs at a local clinic on redacted PDFs; main obstacles are HIPAA trust and noisy text extraction, and labeled outcome data is not yet available.
