Healthcare¶
Archivus provides HIPAA-compliant document intelligence for healthcare organizations, enabling better care coordination while protecting patient privacy.
Industry Challenges¶
Clinical Documentation Burden¶
Healthcare generates massive documentation volumes:
- Discharge summaries and clinical notes
- Lab results and imaging reports
- Referral letters and consults
- Insurance authorizations and claims
- Care plans and patient education
Interoperability Gaps¶
Patient information fragmented across:
- Electronic Health Records (EHR)
- Practice management systems
- Imaging archives (PACS)
- External provider records
- Patient-provided documents
Compliance Requirements¶
Stringent privacy and security mandates:
- HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
- State privacy laws
- Meaningful Use requirements
- Audit and documentation standards
How Archivus Helps¶
Clinical Document Processing¶

A[Incoming Document] --> B[OCR Extraction]
B --> C[PHI Detection]
C --> D[Patient Matching]
D --> E{Match Found?}
E -->|Yes| F[File to Chart]
E -->|No| G[Manual Review]
F --> H[Provider Alert] Intelligent Record Processing:
- Automated ingestion from fax, email, portal
- OCR for scanned documents
- PHI identification and protection
- Patient matching with confidence scoring
- Integration with EHR systems
Clinical Information Retrieval¶
Surface relevant patient information instantly:
| Query | Result |
|---|---|
| "Summarize Mrs. Johnson's cardiology records" | AI-generated summary with source citations |
| "What medications was this patient on in 2024?" | Extracted medication list with dates |
| "Show all lab results for this patient" | Chronological lab summary |
Care Coordination¶
Connect information across care settings:
- Aggregate records from multiple providers
- Surface relevant history for current visit
- Track referral status and responses
- Identify gaps in care documentation
Use Cases¶
Primary Care: Pre-Visit Preparation¶
Challenge: Providers spend significant time reviewing records before appointments.
Solution:
- Aggregate all recent external documents
- AI summarization of relevant history
- Flag critical findings (abnormal results, new diagnoses)
- Present consolidated view in EHR
Result: Pre-visit prep reduced from 15 minutes to 3 minutes per patient.
Hospital: Medical Records Management¶
Challenge: Incoming records from external facilities require manual processing.
Solution:
- Automated fax/email ingestion
- Document classification (lab, imaging, consult, etc.)
- Patient matching against MRN database
- Routing to appropriate chart sections
- Provider notification for urgent findings
Result: Record filing backlog eliminated, urgent findings identified faster.
Health System: Care Gap Identification¶
Challenge: Patients receive care at multiple facilities; records don't follow them.
Solution:
- Aggregate documents across facilities
- Extract key clinical events and dates
- Identify missing preventive care
- Generate care gap reports for population health
Result: Preventive care compliance improved, quality metrics enhanced.
HIPAA Compliance¶
Protected Health Information (PHI)¶

|---|---|
| Access Control | Role-based access with audit logging |
| Encryption | TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest |
| Audit Trail | Complete access and modification logging |
| Minimum Necessary | Configurable data access policies |
Business Associate Agreement¶
Archivus signs Business Associate Agreements (BAA) for covered entities:
- Available for Team and Enterprise tiers

Deployment Options¶
BYOB Storage (Recommended for Healthcare)¶
Keep all patient documents in your own infrastructure:
graph LR
subgraph "Your Infrastructure"
S[(Your Storage)]
style S fill:#e8f5e9
end
subgraph "Archivus Processing"
A[AI Processing]
B[Search Index]
end
S --> A
A --> B - Documents never leave your environment
- Full control over data residency
- Meets strict data sovereignty requirements
Air-Gapped Deployment¶
For maximum security and compliance:
- No internet connectivity required
- Local AI processing (Ollama)
- Complete on-premises installation
- Suitable for classified environments
EHR Integration¶
