The tool can predict and measure the incompleteness of EHRs in lab results, disease diagnosis, medical history and prescription records. Hospitals can lose an average of $5 to $8 million a year due to incomplete EHR data that impacts insurance reimbursement, according to a Nov. 17 UCF news release.

Dr. Gurupur’s algorithm works by identifying medical attributes that are more likely to be incomplete.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
