In short, this software system will allow a significant number of telephone callers to a health care center's claims processing or customer service areas to be handled successfully (and with a high degree of consumer satisfaction) by a computerized voice that is actually an 'intelligent' agent. Many of us have already used American Airlines or Amtrak's personal assistant; when we do so, we are 'speaking' with a computer. It's one thing to have a computer recognize human speech in respect of a day or the week or a flight or rail service destination. It is quite another however to have that same computer recognize an inquiry from a person in Keokuk, Iowa calling about t he anesthetist's i nvoice from the surgery performed on his stepson with a different last name. The K-G software system will help ordinary people speak with computers on complex issues such as the health care reimbursement process handles on a regular basis. It should be every bit as friendly and helpful and easy to use as • the American Airlines computer. Page 5
