Cleveland Clinic is expanding its mid-revenue cycle-focused partnership with Akasa.
Over a four-month period earlier this year, Cleveland Clinic completed the rollout of revenue cycle automation company Akasa’s coding tool across all of its U.S. locations, according to an Oct. 13 news release from the company. The system has used the tool to process tens of thousands of encounters already.
Cleveland Clinic will now deploy a generative AI-powered clinical documentation integrity tool across its U.S. locations. Akasa said in the release that CDI represents an even more complex task than coding. CDI staff must review all the documentation that a coder reviews, in addition to labs, imaging, vitals, medications, and other complex multi-modal data. The tool gives CDI staff an AI assistant to support the accuracy and efficiency of their work.
“The success of the AI coding platform has demonstrated the transformative impact of technology in enhancing efficiency and quality,” Cleveland Clinic Chief AI Officer Ben Shahshahani, PhD, said in the release. “With the launch of the CDI solution, we are excited to continue setting new benchmarks for how AI can support our teams, improve processes, and ultimately benefit our patients.”
