Xinli Information Wins 'Taiwan 50 Excellent SMART App Award' from Ministry of Health and Welfare

Details

Xinli Information's key application module, "Yidian Jiutong" (PCS Coding Smart Assistant), from its smart healthcare solution digiCare, was selected as an excellent app after passing a two-layer sandbox mechanism established by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and Industrial Research Institute. The system aims to improve the complex process of ICD-10-PCS coding in traditional radiology reports. Traditionally, this required manual interpretation of multi-axial seven-digit codes from unstructured data, necessitating frequent switching between different systems, increasing administrative burden and error rates, and raising the risk of claim denials during national health insurance reporting. Xinli's AI-powered smart coding tool utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology based on the international standard DICOM to automatically identify information such as contrast agents and anatomical sites within reports, allowing the AI to perform the coding work for direct review by medical staff. The system integrates with existing information systems like Electronic Health Records (EHR) and HIS, eliminating the need for manual re-entry of patient personal data. This not only reduces the workload on administrative staff but also optimizes the coding process, lowers error rates, and mitigates the risk of claim denials. Through this award, Xinli demonstrated that its technology is fully compliant with the 'SMART on FHIR' international standard. The company stated that by making medical information applications as 'plug-and-play' like smartphone apps, it can significantly lower adoption barriers and costs, accelerating clinical application in various levels of healthcare institutions. Furthermore, they are promoting the establishment of a standardized, open, and secure medical application ecosystem, aiming to build a national-level medical data research database for Taiwan.
