Overview
Our client is a leading pharmaceutical organization operating centralized Patient Access and Therapy Onboarding Services.
The team processes high volumes of Patient Start Forms submitted by providers and care teams. Each submission requires accurate patient and provider data capture, form completeness checks, duplicate detection, and structured Salesforce case creation.
As therapy volumes increased, manual intake and validation workflows created backlogs. Patient Start Forms had to be reviewed, sorted, validated, and routed before downstream case creation could begin.
The organization needed a scalable patient onboarding automation framework that could improve intake speed, strengthen Salesforce case integration, and support higher therapy volumes without increasing administrative workload.
Business Challenge
The client’s patient onboarding process relied heavily on manual document intake and validation. This slowed case initiation, increased rework, and reduced visibility into form status and routing decisions.
01
Manual sorting and routing of Patient Start Forms created intake bottlenecks.
02
Handwritten and variably formatted forms increased transcription errors.
03
Handwritten and variably formatted forms increased transcription errors.
04
Duplicate submissions created Salesforce case conflicts and reconciliation effort.
05
Validation outcomes and routing decisions were not tracked in a structured way.
elsai Solution
elsai implemented a governed Patient Start Form Orchestration Framework to automate document intake, data extraction, completeness checks, duplicate detection, and Salesforce case creation within one controlled workflow.
The solution helped the organization move from manual form handling to a structured patient intake process with faster processing, stronger data quality, and end-to-end traceability.
The elsai Patient Start Form workflow included:
• Intelligent document intake to identify, classify, and route Patient Start Forms received from providers and care teams.
• Printed and handwritten data extraction to capture patient, provider, treatment, and supporting information from submitted forms.
• Completeness validation to check required fields, identify missing information, and prevent incomplete forms from progressing to case creation.
• Automated duplicate detection to identify repeated submissions and conflicting records before new Salesforce cases were created.
• Structured exception routing to direct incomplete, conflicting, or low-confidence records to the appropriate operations team for review.
• Salesforce case integration to create structured cases directly from validated form data while preserving Salesforce as the organization’s system of record.
• End-to-end workflow monitoring to track intake status, validation outcomes, duplicate checks, routing decisions, and case creation in real time.
Business Impact
Patient Start Form Processing Reduced from Days to Minutes
Automated intake, extraction, validation, and Salesforce integration significantly accelerated form processing and case initiation.
Greater Than 95% Data Capture Accuracy
Structured extraction improved the accuracy of patient and provider information captured from printed and handwritten forms.
Reduced Manual Intake Effort
Automating document sorting, data entry, form review, and validation reduced repetitive work for patient access teams.
Fewer Duplicate Salesforce Case Conflicts
Duplicate detection identified repeated and conflicting submissions before case creation, improving Salesforce data integrity.
Faster Salesforce Case Creation
Validated form data flowed directly into Salesforce, reducing delays between document receipt and structured case initiation.
Improved Patient Onboarding Visibility
Real-time monitoring gave operations teams a clear view of form status, validation issues, exceptions, and case creation progress.
Reduced Patient Onboarding Delays
Earlier identification of missing information and faster case creation helped prevent avoidable delays in patient access workflows.
The elsai Advantage
• Intelligent document processing for Patient Start Forms.
• Automated field extraction and completeness validation.
• Duplicate case detection before Salesforce case creation.
• Seamless Salesforce case integration.
• Real-time workflow monitoring and operational transparency.
• Audit-ready traceability across intake, validation, and routing.
