Challenge
The availability of over 100 million vaccines created
a serious and urgent need for states, municipalities
and the private sector to immediately develop a clear
strategy to effectively capture vital personal and
healthcare-related information. Since the majority of
these forms were handwritten, the situation became
even more complex due to difficulties capturing the
patient data with traditional recognition technologies
like optical character recognition, OCR, or intelligent
character recognition, ICR. This added to the
challenge of providing valuable information back to
the healthcare providers and officials in a timely
manner, as well as maintaining patient confidentiality
if a human data-entry operator was utilized.
