About the Client

The company is a pioneer in clinical genetic testing, specializing in rare diseases and oncology. By sequencing and interpreting patients' genomes, they deliver vital insights for preventative care and diagnosis. As the industry evolves, they constantly seek new ways to improve the quality, accessibility, and speed of genetic testing—recognizing that the faster a patient receives their genetic information, the more quickly healthcare providers can develop a life-saving treatment plan.

Challenge

The client managed more than 100 million clinical documents – mainly, unstructured clinical notes and pathology reports in inconsistent formats – essential for running tests, supporting providers, and enabling biopharma R&D. Yet the workflows for interpreting these documents were almost entirely manual. Abstractors spent over 90 minutes per patient reviewing records, extracting key clinical attributes and entering them into “dictionary” spreadsheets, making it impossible to scale operations without growing headcount.

As document volumes continued to increase, workflows became even more fragmented across intake, accessioning, data entry, and billing. Critical clinical information remained locked inside unstructured files, slowing downstream insights for clinicians and limiting the speed at which biopharma partners could build cohorts and prepare validated datasets for clinical trials.

Manual clinical data workflows created an enterprise-wide bottleneck:

  • Slower turnaround times
  • Rising operational cost
  • Data inaccessible for analytics
  • Inability to adopt AI for scale

The client envisioned a radical transformation of its clinical data operations, turning millions of unstructured documents into trusted, analytics- & AI-ready data at scale, without compromising accuracy and clinical integrity.

The Solution

GenAI-Powered IDP Pipeline

WebbyButter developed and deployed an Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) capability, depth-integrated into the client's existing AWS cloud infrastructure. Driven by custom-tuned Generative AI models, the solution doesn't just 'read' documents—it understands the clinical context. It automatically classifies documents (scans, reports, lab results), extracts key genetic markers and clinical observations, and populates a standardized database with a 4.5x increase in processing speed. The system features a production-ready RAG architecture that allows researchers to query millions of records using natural language. This implementation also included a sophisticated human-in-the-loop (HITL) review interface, ensuring that any high-confidence extractions are automatically processed while lower-confidence items are flagged for clinical review. This hybrid approach maintains the highest standards of data integrity while maximizing the benefits of automation. The platform also includes comprehensive audit trails, ensuring full compliance with healthcare regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.

The Outcome

Transformative Operational Results

The deployment of the GenAI-powered IDP capability has fundamentally transformed clinical operations. By automating document processing, the organization reduced human error in data extraction by 99% and decreased document review time from 45 minutes to under 20 seconds per patient file. Administratively, the system has reduced manual entry costs by 90%, allowing clinical staff to focus on high-value research rather than data management. Today, this platform serves as the intelligent data foundation for the company's future ventures into AI-driven drug discovery. The organization has also seen a significant improvement in researcher collaboration, as clinical data is now easily searchable and accessible across global sites. The success of this project has positioned the client as a leader in healthcare AI innovation, paving the way for further digital transformation initiatives across their entire clinical ecosystem.
