The Oregon health system's coder workload has been reduced by nearly 28%, while coding-related denials for autonomously coded radiology cases are now 70% lower than those managed manually. The automated denial rate is also substantially lower.

HIMSS23 APAC
If they want to apply these models, it has to be hosted locally to preserve data integrity, said Dr Roel Bolt, CMIO of Franciscus Hospital.
A FHIR-based protocol that improves clinical workflows is improving pneumonia treatment in the ER, says Kathryn Kuttler, Darren Mann and Dr. Peter Haug at Intermountain Healthcare in a preview of their HIMSS23 presentation.
