Clarity Clinical Documentation (Clarity CD) software seamlessly routes patient information in structured and unstructured documents, including text, handwritten notes, fax images, and PDF files, to the appropriate patient record in your electronic health record (EHR) system — eliminating cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone manual data entry.
The intelligent solution uses state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to extract patient data like demographic information and clinical details with precision, automatically populating the data into a structured Continuity of Care Document (CCD). The advanced system routes data to your EHR via Consensus’ Direct Secure Messaging feature to ensure seamless, accurate, and secure integration.
Clarity CD is designed for today’s dynamic healthcare landscape, where precision and speed are paramount. You can consolidate patient data from multiple sources for a holistic view of each patient’s history to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across healthcare teams.
We simplify the clinical documentation process, enabling healthcare professionals to focus on what matters: Delivering coordinated care and improving patient outcomes.
Clarity Clinical Documentation (Clarity CD) is a product from Consensus designed to streamline the management of patient information in the healthcare industry. It emphasizes security, efficiency, and ease of use while meeting HIPAA compliance requirements. Clarity CD supports healthcare providers in delivering high-quality care with the following features:
Clarity Clinical Documentation (Clarity CD) simplifies the management of medical documents. It handles everything from receiving various types of documents to ensuring the accuracy of extracted information and their integration into patient records. This process enhances overall patient care.
Clarity Clinical Documentation (Clarity CD) begins when an image is received. It could be in the form of an eFax, a digital scan, or a PDF file. In this step, the document is captured and digitized for further processing. The system ensures that the image quality is apt for accurate data extraction and analysis.
After the image gets ingested, the software analyzes the document to extract relevant clinical data. Here Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is used to convert handwritten or printed text into machine-readable text. Key information such as patient demographics, clinical notes, lab results is identified. The system then verifies the accuracy and completeness of the extracted data.
After analyzing the document, the software formats the valid data into a standardized Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) file using Continuity of Care Document (CCD) format. This ensures the data is organized consistently with the Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) structure. This further makes integrating with electronic health record (EHR) systems easier. During this step, the software identifies invalid or incomplete data and notifies users, who can then review and correct any issues before proceeding.
Validated and formatted data is securely routed to the corresponding patient record in the EHR system. Secure transmission protocols are used to protect data during transfer, maintaining patient privacy and data integrity. The system maps the data to the correct patient record based on details such as patient name, date of birth, and medical record number.
Clarity CD facilitates inter-provider communication and enables evidence-based healthcare systems to automate decisions. It supports comprehensive documentation for legal records and patient registry functions to help public health agencies efficiently manage and research large patient populations.
The comprehensive clinical documents inform the creation of longitudinal patient records (LEPRs) to show healthcare information from all sources for an individual patient. Meanwhile, billing and coding staff can use these comprehensive records to facilitate claim submissions.
Here are the most common use cases for clinical documentation solutions in the industry:
Clarity CD streamlines patient admissions by automating and simplifying paperwork to increase operational efficiency and staff productivity while reducing costly errors. It enables effective care planning with a centralized platform to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration. Providers can share patient notes and records to ensure everyone on the team has a holistic view of each patient’s history.
Complete clinical documentation allows primary care physicians to monitor their patients throughout the care continuum. Clarity CD facilitates the documentation of preventive care measures and immunizations to support proactive patient health management. It also ensures a seamless and error-free process if a patient needs to transfer records from a different practice.
Clarity CD leverages Consensus’ robust cloud-based security features to support secure and confidential information sharing among authorized healthcare professionals. By eliminating manual processes, patient information is less likely to be leaked or stolen, which is critical for maintaining patient confidentiality in a mental healthcare setting.
Providers in specialty clinics can gain a complete view of a patient’s health condition to ensure their care plan doesn’t conflict with other treatments or medications. Moreover, Clarity CD supports effective case management for chronic conditions by providing detailed and comprehensive documentation. Specialists can gain a holistic view of a patient’s medical history to ensure care quality and continuity.
Patients often work with different specialists and facilities for physical and occupational therapies. These professionals must collaborate with multiple healthcare providers to ensure care continuity as a patient recovers. Clarity CD facilitates information sharing by streamlining the process of collating treatment notes and patient records to align therapy plans with individual needs.
Clarity CD facilitates research documentation by ensuring all patient data is available to researchers for a comprehensive view of each individual without risking patient privacy and confidentiality. It also supports clinical trial documentation to ensure compliance and data integrity.
Time is of the essence in emergencies. Clarity CD enables rapid and accurate documentation of patient information in urgent care scenarios to ensure timely and appropriate treatment — especially when transferring a patient to a different facility or specialist for further care.
These facilities can use a clinical documentation solution to build comprehensive and easily accessible resident profiles. The records may consolidate medical history, medication records, care plans, and notes from facility staff (e.g., preferences, behaviors, dietary restrictions) to ensure personalized and consistent care.
Clarity CD makes it easy to keep a patient’s EHR up to date with information from different healthcare providers. It allows in-home healthcare professionals to access the latest patient history remotely to ensure continuity of care outside traditional healthcare settings.
With Clarity CD, health insurance companies can facilitate efficient claim processing with a standardized system to ensure accurate documentation of patient encounters and treatments. Meanwhile, billing and coding specialists can leverage comprehensive patient records to reduce errors, save time, and get faster reimbursement.
Incorporating a new component into your healthcare tech stack can be complex. Every implementation is different and must be orchestrated to meet your unique requirements, fit into the existing infrastructure, and complement current workflows.
