This is quite interesting. The obvious business case is for missed-diagnoses reimbursement. U.S. hospital reimbursement is based on a monstrous coding system (e.g. ICD-10). A subset of these codes are Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs). Hospitals can bill based on the constellation of HCCs that apply to a patient (e.g. morbid obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, COPD, etc.). Their system could identify all HCCs for each patient and submit missed HCCs for reimbursement. Edit: This is not a new idea, there are lots of companies already doing this using natural language processing.
