Hospitals Deploy Spending on Artificial Intelligence Coding Solutions to Reduce Costs & Payer Denial

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 09:53:01 +0600

Black Book Research surveyed 1,012 health information management executives and revealed that 58% of healthcare organizations are using artificial intelligence in one basic form or another, and 92% of them expect widespread industry implementation in the next five years, despite the extended operational constraints and financial priorities caused by the resurging COVID-19 pandemic. Eleven percent of survey respondent hospitals acknowledge employing AI-powered coding solutions proficiently for at least one year.

In this Q3 2021 survey by Black Book, 93% of 408 hospital coding and HIM respondents are optimistic that AI technology can streamline document creation and enable clinicians to capture a holistic patient history to boost outcomes but also improve revenue integrity.

An additional 625 provider respondents that have not yet fully implemented or are not optimally using AI-enhanced coding, CDI, speech recognition or transcription technology provided insight on budgeting, adoption plans, factors driving coding and transcription decisions and vendor awareness

One highly notable finding of the Black Book survey was that despite all U.S. hospitals, on average, experiencing 9.4% of payer claims denied upon initial submission in 2016, and 11.5% of payer claims denied upon initial submission this past quarter (Q2 2021), total payer claim denials among hospitals employing artificial intelligence coding solutions for at least one year experienced on average 6.9% of denials, or 40% fewer denials upon initial submission.

The collective results were culled from the current healthcare industry users of artificial intelligence tools and future AI users that participated in Black Book coding and HIM surveys in the current year:

Both commercial and public payers are now denying about one in every nine submitted claims, costing health systems over 3% of net patient revenue.

Health system coder productivity, in general, measured in Q3 2021 as compared to Q3 2017, has increased 60% in respondent hospitals over 250 beds.

Ninety-one percent of providers polled are eager to implement more sophisticated clinical documentation improvement tools that use artificial intelligence to boost the speed, accuracy and efficiency of coders. Sixty-four percent of HIM executives have retained committed funds to AI coding improvements in FY 2022.

The average case mix overall improvement in 169 hospitals surveyed between 150-450 beds accomplished an average $2.7 million in financial improvements from AI-enhanced CDI initiatives from Q3 2020 to Q3 2021 as reported by the survey respondents, an increase of 17% from the same period the previous year.

"Improvement of clinical documentation provides the opportunity to maximize reimbursement, and CDI is the process of enhancing medical data collection, improving quality of care while maximizing payer reimbursement income. It definitely has proven to maximize revenue cycle efficiency," said Doug Brown, Founder of Black Book Research.

"The good news for hospitals is that most of these claim denials are potentially avoidable with AI tools and prevention is the key to averting hospital revenue loss," said Brown. "Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly impact how providers manage claim denials."

An impressive 97% of hospitals confirm documented quality improvements and increases in case mix index within six months of AI-enhanced CDI implementation.

Ninety percent of health systems' chief financial officers claim that the biggest motivator for adopting artificial intelligence coding support tools is to provide improvements in case mix index, resulting in increased revenues and the best possible utilization of high-value specialists in 2022 and beyond.

DNA Profiling Test in India

Thu, 30 Sep 2021 11:39:36 +0600

DNA profiling is an advanced study of a person’s genetic material. Like a person’s fingerprint, their DNA fingerprint is also unique to them.

DNA profiling or DNA Fingerprinting is a technique, including the extraction of DNA from the oral epithelial cells. The isolated DNA is then broken into smaller fragments called Short Tandem Repeats or STRs. The latter is then amplified to get comprehensive data about the DNA. A computer program then reads all the data and gives the final DNA profile/fingerprint. Based on the match/mismatch, the biological relationship between two or more persons can be determined and the individual’s DNA profile can serve as his personal genetic/biological identification.

What is a DNA profiling test used for?

A DNA profiling test is vital for R&D in medical and biological fields. It also finds its use to:

· Investigate a person’s involvement in a crime

· Identify familial relationships

· DNA test for peace of mind, immigration, etc.

· Check compatibility for an organ transplant

· Perform a cell line authentication test

· Carry out ancestry testing

· Determine identical twins or type of relationship between siblings

A DNA profiling test is also called by various other names, including genetic fingerprinting, DNA typing, DNA fingerprinting, identity testing, etc.

The sample collection for a DNA profiling test is painless and noninvasive. After sample collection, the DNA is extracted and copied several times to get enough for a profile. The process also requires determining the size of the STRs.

One can expect the delivery of test results within 3 to 5 business days.

DNA Forensics Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. provides accredited DNA profiling tests at affordable costs. With complete caution of the accuracy and reliability of test results, it also keeps customer confidentiality as its topmost priority. Contact the below numbers for a DNA profiling test in India.

Behind Masks: Frontline Heroes in Wuhan

Sat, 30 May 2020 07:38:44 +0600

The number of COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, once the epicenter of coronavirus in China, has dropped to zero, a health official said.

Three months have passed from the early stage of the epidemic when the coronavirus began spreading from Wuhan. The number of confirmed cases grew very quickly, which brought huge pressure to the local medical system.

More than 40,000 medical workers from across China headed to the epicenter to assist with COVID-19 treatment. They did not only help ease the shortage of local medical workers but brought plenty of protective gear in need.

Through tough measures and cooperation between different sectors for prevention and control, the situation in Wuhan gradually came under control. On April 8, 2020, Wuhan reopened after 76 days' lockdown.

In order to record these medical workers in the fight against COVID-19, a group of over 60 photographers initiated a portrait album project. Some 40,000 medical workers were photographed, who risked their lives in aid of medical treatment in Hubei Province. In the photos, all characters reveal their faces that have long been covered by surgical masks and goggles in work, many with clear marks and impressions on their faces.

The 3-minute video was co-produced by China Matters and Hubei Media Group. It shows the behind-scene stories of photographers engaged in the project, and reveals the touching moments when the medical workers shared their plans after returning home from Wuhan.

Looking for a Career Switch From the Hospitality Industry? Intry Provides the Tools to Determine the Next Best Career Move

Fri, 29 May 2020 06:59:38 +0600

Job losses are mounting, and the hospitality industry has stood out as being among the most impacted by COVID-19. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 38% of all the jobs lost in April — 7.7 million jobs — were in the leisure and hospitality sector alone. Millions of Americans are now in a transitional phase, looking for answers on how to find work during this challenging time. Intry is using its tools and expertise in employment to address the concerns of job seekers, matching them up with their ideal career path based on personality traits discovered through their TrueYou Assessment.

“My first piece of advice is to stay calm. Now is not the time to panic or feel desperate when searching for a new job,” says Jennifer Sethre, Founder and CEO of Intry. “During this time, reflect on the type of company you want to work for. There is hope, and there are still companies that are hiring.”

Intry’s TrueYou Assessment is a quick, easy, and accurate career personality assessment that determines a candidate’s ideal job match. The simple, five minute yes or no questionnaire provides candidates with their strongest work traits and identifies potential jobs and careers most suited to the candidate’s personality type. The information gleaned from the assessment helps candidates define their own career path by identifying their strengths and where they best fit.

For those facing uncertainty, unsure of what career path awaits them during the current economic downturn, the TrueYou assessment can provide a clear glimpse into determining their best qualities and how they translate into the professional world. Analyzing each candidate’s unique interests and characteristics means that each recommendation is made specifically for that candidate and that candidate alone.

Sethre adds, “Another piece of advice to keep in mind is that what worked 60 days ago might not necessarily work today. The landscape for searching for a new job will be more competitive than ever before, and candidates should be mindful of what they are putting on their resumes.”
