MEDICAL RECORD IDENTIFICATION
Not Every PDF Is Searchable.
Medical records come in all kinds of formats. Scanned documents, handwritten notes, intake forms, and image-based PDFs can contain information that ordinary document searches miss.
Backed by more than 25 years of medical record experience, our team uses Lexmata’s patented Extract OCR process to capture information from printed, scanned, and handwritten records. We then identify the specific details you’ve asked us to find.
Printed-Text Accuracy
Measured on printed text. Results on handwritten and low-quality pages depend on legibility.
WHAT WE CAN IDENTIFY
You Set the Instructions.
Tell us which medical details you need identified. We apply those instructions across the records and flag matching information for review.
Diagnoses and Conditions
Identify mentions of specific diagnoses, medical conditions, and related terminology throughout the records.
Treatments and Procedures
Find references to medications, procedures, therapies, and other treatments specified in your instructions.
Dates and Providers
Locate requested dates, provider names, and references to particular medical visits or events.
Handwriting and Scanned Text
Capture information from handwritten notes and scanned documents that may not be accessible through standard PDF search.
BEYOND STANDARD TEXT
There’s More to a Record Than Typed Text.
Medical records aren’t always neatly typed. They include handwritten notes, scanned images, and checkboxes on forms and questionnaires.
Lexmata can capture information from these formats, including marked checkbox selections that ordinary text searches may miss.
