Document classification
Document classification is assigning one or more categories to a document based on its content or other available information.
Why it matters in practice
A category can help a team organize, find, or route a document. Classification may be done by a person or by software; a category label is not a clinical interpretation and should not be treated as proof that every detail was read correctly.
Example
Illustrative example: a scanned document is labeled as a referral, lab result, or insurance form so the office can send it to the appropriate work queue.
