The organization processed over seven million records during initial migration and now processes 3,000 electronic health records weekly. CDPHP achieved a 60% improvement in overall efficiency and reduced HEDIS report generation from 4-5 days (three data scientists) to two reports produced daily.","company":"CDPHP (Capital District Physicians' Health Plan Inc.)","industry":"Healthcare","country":"United States","aiCapabilities":["Natural Language Processing","Machine Learning","Document Intelligence"],"technology":["Amazon Comprehend Medical","Amazon Textract","Amazon SageMaker"],"deployment":"Public Cloud","problemStatement":"CDPHP ingests vast amounts of electronic medical records every day, but medical records and health data have largely been collected as unstructured data, which makes it difficult to derive insights and deliver better care. Prior to using AWS, CDPHP needed to manually extract, process, and organize all medical records, a labor-intensive process, and lacked the capability to develop a homegrown solution within a reasonable time frame.","solutionApproach":"CDPHP used AWS services including Amazon Comprehend Medical, a HIPAA-eligible natural language processing service, together with Amazon Textract and Amazon SageMaker to automate its data processing pipeline. Amazon Textract extracts printed text, handwriting, and data from documents; Amazon Comprehend Medical extracts and normalizes medical information from unstructured text into a common format with accuracy scores; Amazon SageMaker uses the extracted data to build ML models. CDPHP engaged AWS Professional Services early in the design stage to create a more efficient, modular architecture.","businessValue":"CDPHP processed over seven million records during initial migration and now processes 3,000 electronic health records weekly, with plans to double that in 2022. HEDIS report generation improved from 4-5 days requiring three data scientists to two reports produced daily, and CDPHP achieved a 60 percent improvement in overall efficiency.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/cdphp-case-study/","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-08-17T00:33:23.834Z","publishedAtSource":"ledger","updatedAt":"2026-08-25T21:06:17.059Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/cdphp-modernizes-infrastructure-and-improves-medical-data-extraction-with-aws-ai-ml.
