AI Boosts Hospital Revenue Accuracy, Tackling Inequities and Quality Reporting Challenges

AI Enhances Revenue Cycle Collections in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence is improving decision-making in the mid revenue cycle, helping hospitals secure the reimbursements they are owed. By increasing accuracy and efficiency, AI supports healthcare providers in managing collections more effectively. William Chan, cofounder and CEO of Iodine Software, highlights how these AI-driven tools contribute to better financial outcomes for hospitals.

Addressing Racism in Healthcare Through Medical Education

Healthcare inequities persist across various areas, but targeting education for medical students and residents is a key strategy to reduce systemic racism. A new national project focuses on integrating anti-racism principles into medical training, aiming to influence future healthcare professionals early in their careers. This approach seeks to create lasting change by shaping attitudes and practices from the start.

Healthcare Organizations Request Delay in Quality Measure Reporting

Several prominent healthcare organizations, including the American Hospital Association and American Medical Association, have formally asked the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to postpone quality measure reporting for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). The request reflects concerns about the current reporting timeline and its impact on healthcare providers.

• Key signatories: American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, and nine other organizations
• Focus: Delaying quality measure reporting requirements for ACOs
