HIPAA and Machine Learning at Loyal
Deep learning traditionally involves funneling huge data sets into layers of software to produce actionable insights. But when strict privacy requirements control what can appear in the output, machine learning methods have to change.
I talked to Abhi Sharma, chief product officer at Loyal, about how they do machine learning. Loyal, I’m told by Sharma, created one of first HIPAA-compliant chatbots. They are continuing to refine their chatbots and extend AI into other areas of the patient experience, using a combination of common machine learning and some new technologies inspired by Google’s BERT algorithm, wit...

Fixing Medicare Advantage Payments
This article looks at the problem from the other side. Here, we adopt a position sympathetic to the hurdles facing Medicare Advantage plans and look at how they are trying to improve the quality of data.
A bit of cynicism is deserved here. Consultants who offer services to healthcare providers often cite “improving the quality of diagnoses” as a code phrase for “extracting the maximum payment you can for a given patient.”
I talked recently to Meleah Bridgeford, senior director of risk adjustment analytics at Episource, about how their analytics and billing solution can improve the quality of submiss...

Lessons From a Ransomware Attack: The Importance of Partnership & Collaboration
The following is a guest article by John Gaede, Director of Information Systems at Sky Lakes Medical Center.
Imagine a rural business is the victim of a cyberattack. A nefarious person or group convinces an unsuspecting employee to open an email promising a bonus. Within 12 hours, every piece of technology connected to that network, and every process needed to conduct daily operations, is paralyzed.
Now imagine that business is a hospital. It serves 80,000 people and it’s the only one within 10,000 square miles. Add to the scenario a global pandemic that is steadily ravaging the nation’s healthcare system. On October...
