Validate Claims through Discharge Summary Analysis: This endpoint is designed to analyze hospital discharge summaries for the clinical validation of claims, ensuring accuracy and compliance in claim processing. It returns a determination, confidence score, and supporting evidence. The determination is based on the clinical criteria and the evidence found in the discharge summary. The confidence score is a value between 0 and 1, with 1 being the highest confidence. The supporting evidence is the clinical criteria and the source of the evidence.
