"Staff at large health systems can spend up to 80% of call time manually compiling patient information across fragmented tools. Amazon Connect Health is designed to work with electronic health record systems already used by providers and can help with patient verification, appointment management, medical history reviews, clinical documentation, and coding while keeping human staff in control of the workflow."
"The platform is aimed at administrative workflows rather than clinical decision-making. AWS said the system can understand natural-language requests, handle routine scheduling, and escalate more complex or sensitive cases to staff. The goal is to reduce repetitive front-office work, especially in phone-based patient access workflows."
"Amazon Connect Health can review medical history before an appointment, draft clinical notes during visits with patient permission, and generate after-visit summaries and billing codes tied back to supporting evidence. UC San Diego Health has saved one minute per call, redirected 630 hours a week from verification tasks to direct patient assistance, and reduced call abandonment rates by 30% systemwide."
Amazon Connect Health is AWS's first purpose-built AI platform for healthcare providers, designed to reduce administrative burden on clinical staff. The platform integrates with existing electronic health record systems and automates patient verification, appointment scheduling, medical history reviews, clinical documentation, and medical coding. It processes natural-language requests, handles routine scheduling tasks, and escalates complex cases to human staff. The system supports workflows across the entire patient journey—before, during, and after visits. Early results from UC San Diego Health demonstrate significant impact: one minute saved per call, 630 hours weekly redirected from verification to patient assistance, and 30% reduction in call abandonment rates.
