introduction

Automate document processing with AI-powered intelligence.

Businesses process thousands of documents every day, from invoices and contracts to forms, applications, correspondence, and patient records.


But when valuable information is trapped in paper documents, PDFs, scans, or unstructured files, extracting that information can require significant time and manual effort.

Using AI-powered document capture and data extraction, the VitalECM IDP solution can identify important information, understand document content, and convert unstructured data into usable digital information.

Reduce Manual Data Entry

Automate repetitive extraction tasks and minimize the need for employees to manually enter information from documents.

Improve Business Data Accuracy

Standardize information capture and reduce the errors associated with repetitive manual processing.

Increase Operational Efficiency

Free employees from repetitive tasks so they can focus on work that requires human expertise and decision-making.

Unlock More Value From Your Data

Turn information trapped inside documents into structured, usable data that can support workflows, reporting, and analytics.

How Intelligent Document Processing Works

IDP combines artificial intelligence, machine learning, optical character recognition (OCR), natural language processing, and other intelligent technologies to understand documents and turn their contents into actionable data.

  • Collect information from paper documents, scanned images, PDFs, emails, and other digital sources.
  • Automatically identify and categorize documents based on their content, structure, and context.
  • Locate and extract relevant information, even when data appears in different formats or locations.
  • Apply intelligent validation and business rules to identify missing, inconsistent, or potentially inaccurate information.
  • Send validated information into downstream workflows, applications, and business systems, reducing manual intervention.

The result? Documents become data that can drive your business forward.

Go Beyond Traditional OCR

Traditional OCR can recognize characters. Intelligent Document Processing understands information.

While OCR is an important component of document digitization, IDP goes further by using AI to understand document structure, context, and meaning.

IDP can help organizations process documents even when information appears in different layouts, formats, or locations, automating processes that previously depended on manual review and data entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still looking to learn more about how our Intelligent Document Processing solutions work? Check out some answers to these common questions.

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) uses AI-powered technologies to capture, understand, extract, and process information from documents. It helps organizations transform paper and digital documents into structured, actionable data while reducing manual work.

IDP automatically captures information from digital and scanned documents, then uses AI to identify and classify each document based on its content and type. This helps organize information faster and prepare documents for downstream workflows.

IDP can process a wide range of structured and unstructured documents, including invoices, forms, contracts, purchase orders, applications, correspondence, PDFs, scanned documents, and healthcare records.

Traditional OCR primarily converts text from images or scanned documents into machine-readable text. IDP goes further by using AI to understand document content, identify relevant information, classify documents, and extract data based on context.

Yes. IDP can identify and extract specific data fields such as names, dates, invoice numbers, addresses, account numbers, totals, and other business-critical information—even when that information appears in different locations or formats.

Yes. Extracted and validated information can be connected to downstream workflows and business systems, helping organizations automatically route documents, trigger processes, and move information to the right people or applications.

AI can automate a significant portion of document processing, but human review can remain valuable for exceptions, complex documents, or information that requires judgment. A human-in-the-loop approach can help balance automation, accuracy, and control.

IDP can help organizations reduce manual effort, improve data accuracy, accelerate document-intensive processes, increase operational efficiency, and make valuable information easier to access and use.

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) can support document-intensive processes across healthcare, finance, legal, accounting, insurance, government, and other industries. It can be used for applications such as accounts payable, claims processing, patient documentation, contract management, customer onboarding, and more.
