ForeSee Medical:

Fast and Accurate Risk Adjustment

For healthcare organizations looking to succeed in
the transformation to value-based care delivery models,
ForeSee Medical™ has developed ForeSee ESP™, a spe-
cialized software platform for accurate risk adjustment.
Using proprietary disease algorithms and machine
learned natural language processing, the software
rationalizes your patient data across the healthcare sys-
tem. Then using artificial intelligence (AI), diseases are
discovered from the text notes and EHR data you
already have. The result is insightful HCC risk adjust-
ment support, integrated seamlessly with your EHR.

sources across the healthcare system to create accurate Dr. Sol Lizerbram

addition, there is a virtual reality space where students study 3 D
models and human organs through the VR headsets.
Each simulation room is equipped with cameras for recording and
debriefing. Two-way mirrors allow instructors to observe the evolv-
ing clinical scenario in real time. This immersive learning environ-
ment helps students learn procedures through experience in a safe
environment, ultimately reducing errors and elevating the quality of
care.
The equipment is real, from hospital beds by Hill-Rom to medica-
