How Might AI Affect Documentations, Coding, and Compliance

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on medicine and its potential benefits and challenges. AI programs, specifically generative AI or large language models, are trained on vast amounts of data and can predict language and images based on what they have learned. In medicine, AI platforms have shown promise in areas such as medical licensing exams, formulating physician notes, and identifying abnormalities in medical imaging. However, there are still limitations and concerns, such as the potential for hallucinations in AI platforms and the need for oversight and regulation. The speaker also explores the potential future role of AI in various healthcare processes, including patient appointments, check-in procedures, clinical decision making, coding, billing, and compliance. The speaker emphasizes the need for consideration of ethics, equity, transparency, and the potential impact on healthcare professionals and patients.
