JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forcura, a healthcare workflow management company, today announced Amazon Web Service (AWS) as its preferred cloud and AI services provider for its generative AI initiatives. Forcura launched its first generative AI feature, referral summary, in April. This feature instantly summarizes a patient referral packet and presents essential patient information in a concise, easy to read and shareable format within Forcura’s Platform and in the EHR or patient record. Typically, inputs including the patient’s clinical condition, services ordered, certifying physician, payer and referral source might appear across hundreds of pages. After Forcura migrated the referral summary model from OpenAI to Amazon Bedrock, this information renders in just a click to a concise, even more consumable format.
Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies via a single API, along with a broad set of capabilities organizations need to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI. Designed to uphold strict security and privacy measures, Amazon Bedrock is GDPR compliant and HIPAA eligible, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and keeps client data private from underlying models. Using Amazon Bedrock, Forcura plans to rapidly iterate on this feature and add other features that save clinical teams precious time from the labor-intensive administrative process of accepting new patients into care and preparing care plans. Providers can therefore accelerate their intake process and deliver care to patients in the home sooner, increasing patient satisfaction and improving outcomes and decreasing the risk of degrading medical conditions, rehospitalization and ultimately cost.
Forcura selected Amazon Bedrock for access to the latest generative AI technologies, as well as for AWS’ consultative approach. "From the first conversation, AWS’ experts in generative AI have actively collaborated with our team, providing insights and guidance that allowed us to move even faster on our road map while keeping security and privacy top of mind,” states David Kerr, Forcura’s Chief Technology Officer. He concludes, “We know we can now deliver more solutions to market for our clients.”
Forcura and AWS are both committed to developing technology that empowers more people to age-in-place, with one survey reporting that 88% of people aged 50 to 80 say it is important for them to reside at home for as long as possible as they grow older. Forcura’s platform is specifically designed for post-acute care providers who deliver care in the home. It is these providers who fulfill consumers’ wish to age-in-place. Currently, over 900 health care providers, representing close to one million patients, license Forcura.
Craig Mandeville, founder and CEO of Forcura, says, “No one company can by itself overcome the administrative burdens and financial challenges post-acute providers face today. It’s why relationships like the one we’re building with AWS are paramount not just to our success, but to truly advance our clients’ ability to deliver the best possible care to as many people as possible and empower people to safely age in their homes.”
