Knowledge Q&A for Healthcare

Knowledge Q&A is the everyday case — anyone on the team asks a question about the corpus and gets a cited answer. The pattern works in regulated organizations because the answer always carries its lineage: which documents contributed, which spans were cited, which model and version answered, and what the faithfulness label was at the moment the answer was given.

A Verified — Cite Source answer can be acted on directly with the citations attached. A Review Recommended answer routes to a reviewer queue most teams already maintain for high-stakes responses. A Do Not Rely — Consult Expert answer is presented with the label visible — the user sees the system's confidence and routes the question to a human expert rather than acting on an unverified response. The audit log captures every question asked, every answer given, and every per-signal score, which is what makes the pattern auditable rather than aspirational.

Healthcare deployments operate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), state health-data laws, and — for federal customers — the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) trajectory. Citorum runs inside the customer's environment so Protected Health Information (PHI) never transits a third-party model Application Programming Interface. The deployment supports the controls expected of a Business Associate: per-tenant isolation, encryption at rest with keys held in the customer's Key Management Service, audit lineage for every retrieval and response, and access controls that gate documents by patient relationship, care team, and role.

Common workflows include clinical reference research over institutional knowledge bases and society guidelines, claims-coding research over payer policies, internal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance Q&A across organizational policies, and clinical summary drafting from chart documents — each with citations and faithfulness labels so a reviewing clinician sees the system's confidence at the moment the answer is given.
