Apr 08, 2010 – Springfield, MA – StenTel has acquired license of NLP International’
The MedLEE™ NLP engine codifies standard text documents for data extraction, thereby enabling Discrete Reportable Transcription (DRT). MedLEE™ was developed over the course of 20 years by Columbia University in New York and is a powerful, patented NLP processing engine that automates analytics, reporting and alerting for outflows such as Core Measures, PQRI, Patient Summary review, coding and billing support, decision support, clinical trials, biological surveillance and more. MedLEE™ has been successfully tested by large hospital systems and government agencies, including the New York Presbyterian Hospital, the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Department of Defense and is considered the gold standard of such technologies.
“We are thrilled to bring this technology to healthcare through the medical transcription industry, particularly because it is superior to the few competing technologies available,” said George Catuogno, President of StenTel. “Many in the HIT community promote the notion that transcription is no longer valuable or relevant, yet narrative dictation continues to be the preferred method of data capture for physicians because it’s simple, efficient and supports a thorough and complete record of patient encounters. It’s a pleasure to bring this important technology to all MTSOs through NLP International’
“A significant proportion of the nation’s electronic health care records exist in the form of unstructured, natural language text – in text documents – and the amount of that data is growing dramatically,”
