Every day, incidental findings—unexpected discoveries that may indicate the presence of cancer—are identified in various healthcare settings. Timely access to cancer care is crucial for improving patient outcomes. However, these incidental findings can also be a double-edged sword. While they offer an opportunity for early diagnosis, they also present a unique challenge: how to guarantee these findings are promptly addressed?
This is where Azra AI steps in, empowering navigators to ensure that every patient receives the timely care they deserve.
Reducing Administrative Burden on Navigators
In many healthcare systems, patient navigators are overburdened with significant administrative tasks, from data entry to scheduling follow-ups. The sheer volume of data and the associated administrative burden can lead to patient leakage—where patients fall through the cracks during the follow-up process. Azra AI augments caregivers and alleviates these pressures with automated workflows and real-time alerts, freeing up navigators to focus on what they do best: guiding patients through their care journey.
Enhancing Early Diagnosis and Patient Journeys
Early diagnosis is a critical factor in cancer care, and Azra AI’s platform plays a pivotal role in ensuring that patients receive timely interventions they need, and the technical support navigators require.
Too often, incidental findings are overlooked, or communication of next steps to the patient is delayed, leading them to seek care elsewhere and prolonging their treatment journey By preventing patient leakage and ensuring consistent follow-up, Azra AI helps healthcare providers retain more patients within their system, ensuring that high-risk patients are identified and guided through the system without delay.
Azra AI’s advanced platform transforms cancer care by identifying cancer diagnoses and suspicious incidental findings in real-time. Leveraging sophisticated natural language processing (NLP) and cutting-edge machine learning models, the platform ingests and analyzes unstructured data from sources such as pathology and radiology reports and electronic health records (EHRs). By parsing clinical documentation for key indicators, Azra AI swiftly identifies positive cancer diagnoses and high-risk findings, classifies them by primary site, and immediately routes this critical information to oncology navigators and care teams. Automated real-time alerts ensure rapid response, allowing healthcare providers to begin the patient's care journey without delay.
Community Impact
Ensuring timely access to care does more than improve patient outcomes—it also enhances the broader impact your healthcare system can have on the community.. The revenue generated by preventing leakage allows you to sustain your team and and deliver a superior care experience overall. Some might call this a “win-win scenario”. We call it Winning Together.
Azra AI’s platform empowers navigators to identify cancer diagnoses and suspicious incidental findings, connect those patients to excellent care sooner, and manage patients’ care, from suspicion through survivorship. With its advanced AI technology, real-time analytics, and focus on operational efficiency, Azra AI is enhancing the way healthcare providers deliver cancer care, ensuring that no patient falls through the cracks.
