Project:
Extract patient genetic test results from PDFs at scale. The test provider was unable or unwilling to provide test results in any format other than PDF. This led to a requirement to extract the results. Performing this manually was taking weeks of time in an unreliable tedious process. The new automated process could read thousands of PDFs per minute to output in a useful standardised format.
Project Overview:
The system extracted genetic test results from thousands of PDF documents
Project Benefits:
- Enormous time savings: from over a week of manual effort to 5 minutes
- Employee satisfaction: Removed a tedious error-prone task
- Improved Flexibility: The test provider was unable to provide test results in a usable form, insisting on PDF
- Standardised output: Extract patient details, partner information and genetic test results into an Excel format
- Improved Reporting: Provided summarised information on the incidence of specific results
