Lab results,
9.1 → 3.2 min

Lab reports arrived as PDFs and faxes, and a person typed each value into the EMR by hand. I replaced the typing with a model that reads each report into structured fields, checked by a clinician.

The problem

Every lab report had been typed into the EMR by a person, at 9.08 minutes a report.

What changed

GPT-5.5 parses lab reports, PDFs and faxes alike, into structured EMR fields. Human entry became human review.

Keeping a clinician in the loop

A data validation view put the parsed fields in front of the clinical team for review. Accuracy was 95% across 40 fields.

Result

3.23 minutes per report instead of 9.08, a 2.8x speed up.
