• The Role of AI in Healthcare

• Artificial intelligence (AI) truly is a
  disruptive force across all industries.
• Whether its streamlining supply chain operations
  or allowing for personalization in fintech, AI
  has significantly altered how various industries
  provide goods and services.
• One such industry that has been transformed by AI
  technologies is healthcare.
• Due to the constant demand for healthcare
  organizations and workers to provide efficient
  and impactful patient care, this sector can
  certainly benefit from revolutionary technologies
  such as AI.
• So, in this post, we discuss the many roles of AI
  in todays healthcare industry.

Automate Overbearing Administrative Tasks

• While its true that healthcare providers should
  always prioritize patient care, it still operates
  as a business. This means that hospital
  administrators and managers have to deal with
  time-consuming and resource-intensive
  administrative tasks to keep the institution
  going.
• Indeed, recent reports show that 34 of
  healthcare costs are related to administrative
  tasks. Fortunately, AI can be used in healthcare
  administration to automate tasks and
  significantly reduce costs. Thus, it allows
  healthcare providers to focus more on improving
  and enhancing patient care.
• Some of the administrative tasks that can be
  automated include billing and insurance tasks.
  Through smart algorithms, AI automation can
  analyze costs and even negotiate with insurance
  providers. Another use of AI in healthcare
  administration is providing automated check-in
  systems that remind healthcare workers of
  necessary activities ? whether its as simple as
  washing their hands or maintaining healthcare
  equipment.

Innovate Healthcare Education

• In general, healthcare has become increasingly
  tech-oriented  from the rise of telemedicine to
  wearable medical devices. This integration with
  technology has shifted many nursing careers to
  becoming more digital-focused too. Some examples
  of nursing jobs that require knowledge of tech
  and modern practices include informatics
  specialists and clinical specialists. So, there
  is a real need for education programs that strike
  a balance between technology and the human aspect
  which is still the essential foundation of
  nursing.
• Of course, AI is one such technology that has
  become prevalent in healthcare education too. For
  one, many healthcare students are testing their
  skills and knowledge through simulated scenarios
  and exams. This is helping them hone their key
  practical skills, build their confidence, and
  prepare them for the challenges theyll encounter
  in clinical practice. Again, it is vital that
  todays nursing students understand technology
  such as AI, and are open to innovating
  traditional methods.

Ensure Compliant Medical Coding Practices

• One of the most challenging tasks for many
  healthcare organizations is accurately coding
  evaluation and management services, as well as
  Current Procedure Terminology (CPT). It is a
  highly complex and detailed task where healthcare
  staff and physicians need to work with a myriad
  of rules and regulations. For this reason,
  healthcare workers are prone to making
  unintentional mistakes.
• But now, we have AI-powered computer-assisted
  coding (CAC) capabilities that can significantly
  improve the quality of work and reduce mistakes.
  Combining AI-based platforms with machine
  learning and natural language processing features
  has allowed for efficient and effective clinical
  coding. As medical coding becomes more precise,
  healthcare organizations can secure their
  compliance to coding practices and put a stop to
  costly documentation discrepancies due to
  avoidable errors.
