Patient matching when auditing records is a problem many healthcare organizations encounter, but often cannot readily solve with EHRs or various workarounds. Lexington Clinic, Central Kentucky’s largest and oldest private multi-specialty medical group, which serves more than 640,000 patients annually, relied on a “same-last-name” search when auditing records: The compliance team found potential family member employer privacy violations, but also too many false positives for this process to be useful.

Among Protenus’ corporate values is “delight,” a word not heard too often in healthcare compliance offices or tech board rooms, but a word that we always think of when it comes to our annual PANDAS Live conference. Our team is always excited to plan the two-day event, inviting keynote speakers who will inspire attendees, selecting customers to share their accomplishments, and much more. Above all, our team works hard to delight Protenus customers who attend PANDAS, they exceed expectations every single year. 

Our mission at Protenus is to advance the science of healthcare by bringing together creative and skilled individuals who are passionate about the security, usability, and applicability of health data. As this information becomes more voluminous, comprehensive, and, as a consequence, more vulnerable, we are building scalable, insightful solutions that address critical issues preventing the efficient, safe, and effective delivery of patient care. 

In a time when privacy and security violations seem to have become pervasive, healthcare compliance analytics leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to help hospitals and health systems protect the privacy of the patients seeking care within their institutions. The Protenus platform reviews every access to every patient record and detects potential threats with unprecedented accuracy. For the average hospital, where accesses can sometimes total more than 20 million per month, the capacity AI offers is a critical element of a robust privacy compliance program.
