  • Identify and structure hundreds of pages of unstructured clinical documents.
  • Meet strict healthcare data governance requirements and keep PHI inside the customer's AWS environment.
  • Avoid errors in document boundaries and metadata that could cascade into downstream clinical decisions.
  • Anterior built a two-stage pipeline with OCR and layout-aware parsing followed by Meta Llama models on Amazon Bedrock.
  • The models classify document boundaries, document types, and metadata such as title, author, creation date, and clinical description.
  • The workflow runs entirely within customers' AWS environments so patient data never leaves the boundary.
  • Reduced manual clinical review time by 75%.
  • Maintained 99.24% clinical accuracy.

Architecture

A two-stage clinical document pipeline: OCR and layout-aware parsing convert large packets into structured page-level extracts, then Meta Llama models hosted on Amazon Bedrock classify document boundaries, document types, and metadata within each customer's AWS environment.
