WorkingVendor's case studyVendor ↗

Problem

Clinicians struggled to find information in the system's document repository, which used keyword search. Staff often looked for answers elsewhere.

Approach

The Innovation Lab built ChatPPGD, a mobile-friendly app using Azure AI Document Intelligence, Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Search. Staff ask questions in plain language and get answers with citations to source documents. It launched in February 2023.
