Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) Trigger Universal Health Care in America? What do expert Academics say?
By MIKE MAGEE
In his book, “The Age of Diminished Expectations” (MIT Press/1994), Nobel Prize winner, Paul Krugman, famously wrote, “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything.”
A year earlier, psychologist Karl E. Weich from the University of Michigan penned the term “sensemaking” based on his belief that the human mind was in fact the engine of productivity, and functioned like a biological computer which “receives input, processes the information, and delivers an output.”
But comparing the human brain to a computer was not exactly a complemen...

Availity Fills in Staff Knowledge at the Point of Engagement with Patients
Health care is not one single system, but multiple systems offering a bewildering variety of diagnostic and treatment options, backed by a plethora of payment systems that vary from patient. According to Krisi Hutson, Senior Director of Solutions at Availity, AI can help administrative staff from the front desk to the billing office negotiate the maze.
Hutson points out that the average turnover of clinical administrative staff is 12-18 months. In this video, she lays out a typical scenario where a patient arrives for treatment and wants to know what the likely payment is. How can you expect an administrator to collect and...

Technobabble To English: A Buzzword Guide For Medical AI And Digital Health
Navigating AI in medicine and digital health can feel like ordering a coffee at that new hipster café downtown: exciting yet slightly overwhelming with a menu that seems to be in a different language. A while ago we published a buzzword dictionary to help you decode the most frequently repeated terms. Back then artificial intelligence and machine learning were rarely heard exotic expressions, but as quite a few years have passed, a whole new set of mambo-jambo emerged, waiting to be explained.
You’re probably sick of hearing the latest digital health buzzwords without any actual context, so let’s translat...

MRO Lets Payers and Providers See the Same Ledger
Health care payers, such as CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, traditionally have only billing data on their patients. That’s why Mo Weitnauer, chief product officer at MRO, calls clinical data “the hottest commodity” in health care.
Piyush Khanna, Vice President Clinical Services at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, would like to store all their data in a single repository and use it for “bidirectional conversations” between the payer and providers. This can provide doctors with data at the point where the clinical decisions are being made—for instance, to perform dialysis at-home or in the clin...

It ’ s Time to Get Patient Addresses Straight
Amazing how a trivial detail such as a postal address can cause so many headaches and so much waste. But in health care, a lack of address standardization is a major barrier to important aspects of care, including the sharing of patient records demanded by our trend to value-based care.
Part of the problem is provider laziness, because the US postal service offers a standard addressing process called CASS, and several services draw on it to ensure the correct use of abbreviations, ZIP codes, and other elements of the address. But many providers just enter into the databases and EHRs whatever the patient put down on a form ...

Infinx Reduces Errors, Turnaround Time, and Staff Burdens for RCM
Many factors make revenue cycle management (RCM) a big headache for U.S. health care providers. Aakarsh Sethi, Senior Product Manager at Infinx, lists the forms of “fragmentation” in payments: not just many different payers, but different plans with different coverage at each payer, along with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and other third party managers, and rules that are constantly changing.
Establishing eligibility, getting prior authorization, and billing are a “very manual process today,” which not only slows down the revenue cycle but leaves a lot of space for inaccuracies to enter and trig...

This Week ’ s Health IT Jobs
As most of you know, we’ve had a healthcare IT job board called Healthcare IT Central for a long time. In fact, it was integral to the growth of Healthcare IT Today. While we happily helped many health IT professionals find jobs and healthcare organizations fill their health IT positions, our focus has definitely moved from growing the job board to the content, podcasts, and videos we have been doing on Healthcare IT Today. With that change of focus, I’m sad to say that shortly we’ll be shutting down the Healthcare IT Central job board.
As part of that change, we still want to share health IT jobs w...
