XYZ has developed expertise in providing end to end solution for
clinical data management as a result of 25+ years of experience
in successfully implementing these solutions for number of
customers across the globe.

XYZ Operations Framework

XYZ has proposed the best of its innovation frameworks and levers
which are in line with the 21CE framework which focuses on
automation.

XYZ Clinical Data Management Services comprise of end-to-end,

centralized tools that cover the entire clinical trial lifecycle, from
data collection to report submission. We harmonize a unique
synergy between best-in-class business process services and
industry specific CDM technology.

As per XYZ belief whatever is automatable should be

automated. XYZ operation framework enables this belief by
leveraging Computer Assisted Coding (CAC) for providing
solution to cater to <<Customer Name>>s business
requirements as per the RFP.

Traditionally coding of clinical reports is done by specially trained

coders but XYZs proposes to incorporate computer-assisted
coding (CAC) systems for <<Customer Name>> considering the
number of codes to keep track of is enormous in case of
<<Customer Name>> due to vast network of hospitals, medical
institutions , specializations thus increasing the number of
patients and their respective claims

Introduction to COMPUTER-ASSISTED CODING (CAC)

SYSTEMS

CAC is an emerging paradigm leading to significant changes in

medical coding solutions. It involves the use of computers to
generate a set of medical codes for review, validation and use for
patient encounters and other forms of medical documentation.
This would allow coders to improve their productivity by primarily
validating generated code instead of generating it themselves. It
would also help them devote their knowledge / time to more
complex issues.

XYZs proposed approach for <<Customer Name>>

XYZ has developed CAC modules using natural language

processing algorithm tools and modules which will enable
<<Customer name>> to access products like include enterprise
scheduling, Web scheduling, medical necessity, insurance
verification, patient kiosk, and surgery management, smart
