Optical character recognition (OCR) followed by natural language processing (NLP) on scanned documents to expedite clinical care
Share PrintClinical care is frequently delayed because of the time it takes for staff to read and process outside medical records. We seek to use optical character recognition followed by natural language processing to classify documents and extract important clinical information from documents as they come in. This will allow us to streamline administrative processes and expedite clinical care.

Is it possible to utilize Microsoft Power Automate for OCR as it is readily available to VHA without having to use a vendor?
