Category-Specific Field Extraction

Healthcare documents vary significantly in content and structure depending on their type:

  • A referral includes a reason for visit and referring provider details.

  • A lab report includes test results.

  • A prior authorization contains medication approvals or denial.

In healthcare, there is no standard format. No two documents are structured the same way.

With Category-Specific Field Extraction, Carethink identifies the document, extracts the exact set of fields you need for that type, and neatly organizes them for you, no matter the layout.

For example, for a Prior Authorization, Carethink extracts:

  • Medication

  • Status

  • Approving entity

  • Case number

  • Effective start date

  • Effective end date

If the authorization is denied, Carethink can also capture the reason for denial.

This makes key information immediately available to the team without requiring them to read through the full document each time.

This feature is now available in Carethink and will continue expanding across more document categories.
