Care Compass is a prototype AI assistant that helps caseworkers prioritize clients by analyzing clinical and social data. Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and large language models, it generates narrative risk summaries, calculates dynamic risk scores, and recommends next steps. The goal is to reduce preventable ER visits and support early, informed interventions.
☤ Care 🩺 Compass 🧭 - Proof-of-Concept - Demo Games Contest Entry
In today’s healthcare and social services landscape, caseworkers face overwhelming challenges. High caseloads, fragmented systems, and disconnected data often lead to missed opportunities to intervene early and effectively. This results in worker burnout and preventable emergency room visits, which are both costly and avoidable.
Care Compass was created to change that.
How to create an ODBC connection on your native Windows laptop to IRIS running on a Windows VM on the same computer, test the connection, and pull data from IRIS into Excel.
Recently I learned that Excel can connect to external databases via ODBC. This includes basically any ODBC data source. Since IRIS speaks ODBC via the ODBC API, we can take advantage of the InterSystems ODBC Driver to establish an ODBC connection to IRIS on Windows that Excel can utilize.
