SUMMARY:Using Natural Language Processing to Achieve HEDIS...
DESCRIPTION:About this Webinar Training\n\nUsing Natural Language 
 Processing to Achieve HEDIS Year-Round ReviewIn 2018\, UPMC 
 Health Plan set a strategic goal to move to prospective\, 
 year-round HEDIS review for hybrid measures\, across 
 Medicare\, Medicaid and SNP business lines. To support this 
 strategic goal\, the UPMC Health Plan Quality team worked 
 with technology innovators at UPMC Enterprises to apply 
 Natural Language Processing to HEDIS hybrid abstraction. 
 Working together\, UPMC teams developed a unique technology 
 platform that markedly increases abstractor efficiency in 
 closing gaps. The system is currently in production use at 
 UPMC Health Plan across 12 measures and 3 lines of business. 
 This course discusses the use of natural language processing 
 for HEDIS\, as well as lessons learned after introducing NLP 
 into real-world HEDIS workflows.\nClick here to access the
