    Intelligent Patient Intake Document Processing

    For healthcare providers processing 500+ patient intakes daily. Automate form processing and data extraction. 90% reduction in manual entry, 99% accuracy.

    Who It's For

    Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare networks who need to efficiently process patient intake forms, insurance cards, and medical records

    Problem Solved

    Manual data entry from intake forms takes 15-20 minutes per patient, creates bottlenecks, and introduces errors that impact care and billing

    Why Mixpeek

    90% reduction in manual data entry, 99% extraction accuracy, and seamless EHR integration

    Overview

    Patient intake creates administrative burden that delays care. This use case shows how Mixpeek automates document processing for faster, more accurate intake.

    Challenges This Solves

    Manual Entry Burden

    Staff spend 15-20 minutes per patient on data entry

    Impact: Bottlenecks, overtime costs, delayed care

    Data Entry Errors

    Manual transcription introduces errors

    Impact: Billing denials, patient safety risks

    Document Variety

    Forms, IDs, insurance cards, prior records

    Impact: Cannot use single solution for all document types

    HIPAA Compliance

    PHI must be handled securely

    Impact: Cannot use standard consumer OCR tools

    Implementation Steps

    Mixpeek processes intake documents (forms, IDs, insurance cards, prior records) to extract patient data and populate EHR systems automatically

    1

    Process Intake Documents

    Extract data from all intake document types

    import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';
    const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });
    // Process patient intake documents
    async function processIntakeDocuments(documents: Array<{
    url: string;
    type: 'intake_form' | 'drivers_license' | 'insurance_card' | 'prior_records';
    }>) {
    const results = await Promise.all(documents.map(doc =>
    client.healthcare.extractDocument({
    url: doc.url,
    document_type: doc.type,
    extractors: [
    'patient_demographics',
    'insurance_information',
    'medical_history',
    'medications',
    'allergies',
    'emergency_contacts'
    ],
    settings: {
    hipaa_compliant: true,
    validate_insurance: true,
    cross_reference_fields: true
    }
    })
    ));
    return mergeExtractedData(results);
    }
    2

    Validate and Cross-Reference

    Ensure extracted data is accurate and consistent

    // Validate extracted patient data
    async function validateIntakeData(extracted: ExtractedPatientData) {
    const validation = await client.healthcare.validatePatientData({
    data: extracted,
    checks: [
    'date_format_consistency',
    'insurance_eligibility',
    'medication_interactions',
    'allergy_drug_conflicts',
    'address_verification',
    'phone_format'
    ]
    });
    return {
    validated_data: validation.corrected_data,
    confidence_scores: validation.field_confidence,
    issues_found: validation.issues,
    requires_review: validation.low_confidence_fields
    };
    }
    3

    Integrate with EHR

    Push validated data to electronic health records

    // Push to EHR system
    async function pushToEHR(patientData: ValidatedPatientData, ehrSystem: string) {
    const integration = await client.healthcare.pushToEHR({
    data: patientData,
    ehr_system: ehrSystem, // 'epic', 'cerner', 'allscripts', etc.
    create_or_update: 'auto',
    conflict_resolution: 'prefer_document',
    audit_trail: true
    });
    return {
    ehr_patient_id: integration.patient_id,
    fields_created: integration.new_fields,
    fields_updated: integration.updated_fields,
    sync_status: integration.status
    };
    }
