A recent American Medical Association article highlights AI's potential to reduce physician burnout by improving electronic health records (EHRs) and healthcare workflows. Poorly designed EHRs, lacking clinician input, have increased administrative burdens and documentation time, detracting from patient care. AI tools are being developed to address these issues. Successful implementation of AI in healthcare requires collaboration between physicians, IT experts, and administrators from the outset. This ensures that technology aligns with clinical workflows, avoiding past pitfalls of poorly designed systems. The discussion underscores the importance of designing technology that genuinely supports healthcare providers, aiming to improve their work environment and patient care quality.  #PhysicianBurnout #EHRImprovement #HealthcareTechnology https://lnkd.in/du7ZpaYE

A recent article from IQVIA highlights the growing popularity of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) over traditional hospitals due to lower costs, flexible scheduling, and personalized care. Medicare-certified ASCs grew by 11% from 2014 to 2020, with a 29% increase in Medicare payments for ASC procedures. Procedural volume is expected to rise by 25% in the next four years. MedTech companies aiming for success in ASCs must grasp operational differences from hospitals, eschew generic approaches, and adopt tailored strategies. This involves embracing ASC migration, understanding each facility's unique challenges, and using industry data to develop effective custom solutions. #HealthcareTrends #ASCgrowth #ASCpopularity

Last month, Kyle Swarts, President, and David Wesley, COO/CTO, visited aiHealth's strategic development partner, RedLight Software, in Coimbra, Portugal. During the visit, it was a pleasure spending time with the incredible team and exploring the cutting-edge technologies enhancing aiHealth's AI/ML capabilities. They also had the opportunity to enjoy a brief history lesson and discovered that the University of Coimbra is 735 years old. Additionally, they couldn't resist indulging in the iconic Pastel de Nata, a delicious Portuguese pastry. #aiHealth #RedLightSoftware #Coimbra #Innovation

aiHealth and DocBuddy have announced a partnership designed to digitally transform the operative report, coding, and the overall speed to reimbursement for all specialty providers and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) located in the United States. This collaboration seeks to transform the operative report, coding, and reimbursement processes for specialty providers and ASCs in the US. By integrating DocBuddy’s Op Note with aiH.Automate, providers can instantly generate and approve operative reports with procedure images at the point of care, which are then efficiently processed by aiHealth’s AI-driven coding system. “aiHealth’s ability to ingest operative reports and autonomously code a variety of specialties with a high degree of precision and accuracy is resulting in an immediate ROI to providers and ASCs. The partnership with DocBuddy reinforces the powerful combination of ambient clinical documentation solutions and AI driven autonomous coding capabilities to reduce the overload of administrative burdens for providers and revenue cycle personnel.” says Kyle Swarts, President at aiHealth.

Check out some pictures and insights from the Becker's Healthcare Spine, Orthopedic, and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. Curtis Mayse, VP of Business Development & Strategy, participated in a panel discussion, while Kyle Swarts, President, attended the event. Key insights include: Staff Retention Challenges: The healthcare industry faces a licensed staff shortage, making retention critical for ASCs. Attractive job offers elsewhere necessitate efforts to ensure staff satisfaction through benefits, bonuses, and perks. Shift to Outpatient Settings: Advances in medical technology now allow more complex surgeries in ASCs, offering cost-effective, convenient, and accessible options for less invasive procedures. Increasing Competition: The ASC market is becoming more competitive with more centers opening. Effective marketing, exceptional patient care, and adapting to independent practice trends are essential to stand out.

A recent Becker's Healthcare article highlights the importance of enhancing clinical documentation to stabilize revenue cycles and ensure financial stability in healthcare. Accurate patient records improve coding and billing, reduce claims denials, and increase reimbursement rates, which are crucial for strong financial metrics. Good documentation also minimizes regulatory risks and audit issues, especially important post-COVID-19. The article advocates for strategic planning and gradual implementation of AI and analytics, supported by leadership. Combining staff expertise with technology fosters continuous improvement, reduces administrative burdens, and supports front-line staff. Effective partnerships can address technology, staffing, and process issues, leading to better financial stability, regulatory compliance, and patient care. #HealthcareCompliance #MedicalBilling #HealthcareTechnology https://lnkd.in/ejbQxjwn
