RSM Deploys AI-Powered Health Reporting Solution Using Microsoft Technologies to Support Hawai'i State Department of Health Program

News Release from RSM US LLP, Jan 06, 2026

CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RSM US LLP ("RSM") – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – has implemented an AI-powered platform built on Microsoft technologies to enhance adverse event reporting within the program administered in Hawai'i. The solution, developed with analytics contributions from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, applies AI to improve detection of risks and unreported incidents, enabling faster intervention and better participant outcomes. 

The platform analyzes healthcare data to identify patterns, flag potential unreported incidents and identify individuals at heightened risk of adverse events—ultimately supporting improving health outcomes and earlier interventions. The first phase was deployed within the Hawai'i Developmental Disabilities Division, which serves approximately 3,600 active participants.

"The Hawai'i Department of Health is setting a powerful example of how public agencies can embrace AI to drive meaningful change," said Robbie Beyer, Director of Data & AI, RSM US LLP. "Aligned with RSM's digital first strategy, this platform enables real-time risk detection and early intervention—demonstrating the transformative role AI can play in public health."

Early results indicate a 98.9% accuracy in detecting risk patterns, highlighting the system's potential  to transform how healthcare risks are identified and addressed using AI.

Key benefits and impact:

Early detection of high-risk and unreported adverse events
Improved case management and care coordination
Enhanced service quality and participant outcomes
Cost savings through proactive intervention
Scalable framework for statewide and national replication

Built on Microsoft Azure, the system integrates Azure SQL, Azure AI Foundry, Power BI and other Microsoft Data & AI tools to analyze claims and case management data in near real-time. This enables health professionals to act faster, prevent harm and improve care delivery. RSM led the design and implementation of the platform's secure, scalable data architecture, equipping case managers with interactive dashboards that visualize participating risk levels, track overdue reviews and flag concerns —supporting smarter, proactive decision-making.

Research faculty from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa contributed model development and exploratory analytics. This cross-sector collaboration exemplifies how government, academia and industry can come together to address complex healthcare challenges.

The deployment aligns with broader modernization initiatives, leveraging Microsoft Azure's HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, disaster recovery planning and statewide AI readiness assessments.

UH advances data tools to support Hawaiʻi disability services

from UH News, December 2, 2025

In partnership with the Hawaiʻi Department of Health (DOH) and RSM US, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is using data and machine learning tools to identify adverse events and enhance services for Hawaiʻi residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Through the Social Science Research Institute’s Office of Evaluation and Analytics for Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (OEAIDD), UH researchers are working on a new dashboard that integrates Medicaid claims and case–management data. The tool gives staff a clearer picture of potential unreported adverse events—such as injuries or hospitalizations—and supports faster, more informed decision making across DOH&s Developmental Disabilities Division (DDD) programs for 3,600 participants statewide.

Historically, under–reporting of adverse events has posed a major challenge in healthcare oversight. Built on Microsoft systems and designed by RSM, the dashboard helps staff identify risks that may have gone unreported. An additional AI–supported component is being developed to help flag participants at higher likelihood of experiencing adverse events, enabling proactive intervention.

“This dashboard helps DDD make more data–informed decisions for the betterment of the community,” said Jack Barile, associate dean for research and principal investigator for OEAIDD. “By partnering with service providers and technical teams like RSM and Microsoft—and by training UH students in real–world analytics—we’re helping the state build a more responsive system of care.”

“This collaboration among DOH, UH and RSM US marks a significant step forward in protecting consumer health and safety by harnessing AI to address the issue of under–reported adverse events,” said Mary Brogan, DDD administrator. “By identifying adverse risks accurately, we can better support our participants’ well–being.”

Strengthening data use statewide

UH researchers are working alongside DDD staff and technical partners RSM and Microsoft to ensure the dashboard is practical, secure and integrated into daily workflows. Researchers on the project team contribute through data analysis and evaluation, while graduate students also gain hands–on experience with public health data.

“Our goal is to help DDD build a culture of data,” said Eva McKinsey, project lead. “The dashboard gives DDD staff access to timely and relevant information that can support stronger programs and better outcomes.”

UH researchers will continue refining the tool and expanding training, with the focus on improving disability services statewide through better data, evaluation and collaboration.

The OEAIDD project team, housed within UH Mānoa’s College of Social Sciences, also includes Charles Iwata, Ashlyn Wong, Reinie Gerrits–Goh, Genevieve Manset, Meldrick Ravida, Eric Lin and Grace Mellor.
