About Boston Children's Hospital
Boston Children's Hospital is a leading organisation in the healthcare sector. Like most healthcare organisations at scale, they faced growing operational complexity — more volume, higher expectations, and a workforce stretched thin by routine but critical tasks.
The Problem
Clinical staff spent 4+ hours daily on documentation, pulling them away from patient care. Manual coding and compliance reviews created bottlenecks and audit risk.
How They Used Claude
Deployed Claude via AWS Bedrock for clinical note summarisation, ICD-10 code suggestion, and discharge letter drafting. Integrated with Epic EHR via API.
Measurable Outcomes
- ✓ 40% reduction in documentation time
- ✓ 98.6% coding accuracy vs 94% manual baseline
- ✓ Physician satisfaction scores up 31 points
- ✓ HIPAA compliance maintained throughout
"Claude allowed our physicians to reclaim nearly two hours per shift — time now spent with patients, not paperwork."

Key Lessons for Healthcare Organisations
Start with a clearly scoped pilot — one use case, one team, 30 days.
Measure baseline metrics before deployment so ROI is unambiguous.
Executive sponsorship drives adoption; middle management drives usage.
Invest in training alongside technology — adoption is 80% people, 20% product.
