CLU - the technology behind autonomous coding
At its core, Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) is a combination of medical knowledge and computational linguistics applied to clinical language. It enables computers to understand the logical relations between various linguistic elements in the chart and build a model, describing the narrative of the physician reports.
Chart
Understanding sentence meaning using computational linguistics : words and structure
Reconstructing medical narrative - medical context within and across separate sentences
Extracting Insights
Coding - Applying guidelines
Coded chart for billing
The algorithm that explains its rationale
Because CLU is based on fully deterministic computational linguistics and each step in the process is documented, the system easily generates audit-ready, traceable codes for total visibility.
