Case Study: Academic Medical Center cuts abstraction costs by 50% with Carta Healthcare

Academic Medical Center cuts abstraction costs by 50% with Carta Healthcare

An Academic Medical Center's Cardiovascular service line was struggling with a significant backlog of registry data abstraction, a problem worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic and a fragmented, inefficient process. Their team of nine abstractors could not keep pace with submissions. The Chair of Cardiology discovered Carta Healthcare's solutions at a conference and identified them as a potential way to address these critical bottlenecks.

By implementing Carta Healthcare's solutions, the medical center completely eliminated its backlog and reduced its abstraction costs by 50%. This was achieved by reducing their dedicated internal team from nine to three members through attrition and reassignment. The partnership also resulted in higher quality data, with the center consistently achieving a 98-99% Inter-Rater Reliability score for its registry submissions.
