The Future of Medical Review: Actionable Insights Delivered by Case Notes

You can’t attend a major industry conference without encountering an insurtech company that’s claiming to provide "critical insights" for medical reviews. But with so many industry buzzwords being thrown around, it can be difficult to pinpoint the true value of different products. Take Case Notes, for example—how do the insights it provides differ from those every other insurtech company is promising? To be frank, comparing the insights Case Notes offers to those from other insurtech companies is like comparing a walk-off home run in the MLB to getting on base in T-ball—it’s just not the same league.

Unpacking the Insights Provided by Traditional Summaries

An insight refers to a deep understanding or clear perception of a situation, problem, or concept. Traditional AI-generated medical summaries are undeniably valuable in providing a clearer understanding of medical records and cases. They excel at surfacing critical details from hundreds of pages, transforming both structured and unstructured data—including scanned documents and EHRs—into concise, digestible summaries. These tools also de-duplicate data, consolidating individual mentions of impairments into a single, comprehensive medical concept.

While traditional summaries offer significant advantages by highlighting potentially relevant information, they fall short in one key area: actionable insights.

However, while traditional summaries offer significant advantages by highlighting potentially relevant information, they fall short in one key area: actionable insights. The responsibility of drawing connections, identifying patterns, and interpreting the bigger picture still rests on the reviewer. While these summaries can enhance efficiency and accuracy by organizing information, there is still considerable work left for the reviewer to analyze, interpret, and draw meaningful conclusions.
