Digital health consultancy AVIA reports that the use of artificial intelligence technologies is beginning to show demonstrable results in terms of patient care, operations efficiency and outcomes. A recent blog on its site describes how an academic medical center used an ambient documentation program that demonstrated a decrease in both average minutes in notes per appointment and per day for providers that utilized the solution while simultaneously increasing monthly appointments. The blog also cites results from a large regional health system that used AI to streamline the process of analyzing patient records, synthesizing patient information and insuring accurate coding. Use of the AI solution led to an increased case mix index and complication/comorbidity capture. It also expedited revenue cycle workflow, and reduced both denial appeals and administrative burdens, saving clinicians an average of 10 minutes per patient per day on follow-up documentation.
