Iodine Software, a developer of tools for improving clinical documentation, announced this week that it will gain access to OpenAI’s artificial intelligence technologies, including the GPT-big language model- 4, through an extended cooperation.
WHY IT IMPORTANT
Per the announcement, Iodine said it plans to integrate OpenAI’s LLM on AwareCDI products to improve prediction accuracy, streamline query processes, and develop clinical automation tools. help ensure document accuracy and prevent revenue cycle leaks.
The company says improving coding efficiency, predictive analytics, and accuracy can allow doctors to focus more on patients, while helping hospitals and health systems reap more revenue. from the care they provide.
According to the company, Iodine’s dataset currently contains more than 27% of all US inpatient data, which it believes OpenAI’s tools will provide an unprecedented opportunity to transform how AwareCDI supports health care services. hospital function.
According to Iodine, the dataset is representative of the market and an asset for training LLMs.
TREND TO BIGGER WOMAN
Over the past few years, Iodine Software has purchased Artifact Health and ChartWise Medical Systems, two other major CDI providers. AwareCDI was the Best Product of 2022 and 2023 at KLAS for CDI products while ChartWise Medical Systems received the Best of 2021 award at KLAS.
Artifact Health is a pioneer in creating a platform that streamlines mobile-based physician queries, automatically tracking and reporting query activity in the dashboard. Query tracking in CDI can help hospitals improve speed and efficiency.
Laura Berberich, director of health information management, coding and clinical documentation improvement at Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall, said Healthcare IT News.
In 2019, Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall went from 84% query response rate to 100% within the first month of query tracking.
Many healthcare IT companies are exploring early uses of ChatGPT since it boomed in general software development in November, from TalkDesk healthcare contact center agents early adoption to streamline the way clinical information is entered into electronic health records.
“Healthcare has been trying to automate self-service in such areas for many years, and generalized AI gives us the opportunity to provide more complex and tailored answers to patients.” while freeing up employee time for more complex interactions – because of conversations on Patty Hayward, general manager of healthcare and life sciences at Talkdesk.
ON PROFILE
William Chan, CEO and co-founder of Iodine, said: “We are optimistic about its potential impact, but remain cautious given the significant impact on patient care, physician confidence, and patient confidence. physicians and patient reimbursements”. “Aware of its limitations, such as data illusions, we are committed to taking a responsible approach, ensuring we balance progress with prudence.”
