Structure cardiovascular reporting

Baystate Medical CenterData ProvidersOptum

Baystate Medical Center had a fragmented cardiovascular data infrastructure — multiple applications, cumbersome interfaces and siloed analytics — that forced clinicians to double-document across systems, and its dictation-based process meant reports could take 30+ days for physician signatures. Baystate partnered with Optum to implement the Change Healthcare Cardiology platform with structured reporting, deployed a champion physician to drive adoption, involved clinicians in building reporting templates, integrated real-time EHR/modality data feeds, and added a real-time billing technician to catch documentation gaps immediately. Results: 100% adoption of structured reporting among interventionalists, a 79% drop in late charges (from 89% unsigned within 5 days down to under 10%), 92.5% of reports signed within 24 hours post-procedure, and 24-hour auto-fax delivery to referring physicians.

Optum is UnitedHealth Group's data and analytics arm, with one of the largest raw claims and EHR-derived real-world-data footprints of any vendor in this directory.

This sits in the Data Providers stage of the AI use-case lifecycle: Named examples from the real-world-data, claims and competitive-intelligence providers pharma AI systems are trained on, benchmarked against, or run inside of.
