Emergency Departments Overwhelmed by Routine Cases

A 12-hospital network faced critical challenges: 65% of ED visits were non-urgent, 4–6 hour average wait times, overworked nursing staff conducting initial screenings, and inconsistent triage across facilities.

The hospital needed an AI system to screen patients before arrival, assess symptoms accurately, route to appropriate care level, reduce ED burden, and maintain HIPAA compliance.

  • 65% of ED visits were non-urgent cases
  • 4–6 hour average wait times
  • $8M annual cost for initial screening staff

Intelligent Multi-Channel Patient Screening Platform

We built a platform with conversational AI (Claude 3.5) for symptom collection, a clinical decision support system with medical knowledge graph and RAG, a smart routing engine (Python + Redis), and EHR integration (HL7 FHIR). Input channels: phone, web portal, mobile app, and in-ED kiosks.
