Beyond the Buzzwords: Analytics, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence

Jim Plymale, Chief Executive Officer, Machine Research

There is a rising interest in leveraging technology to help revenue cycle managers, but as interest rises, so do the buzzwords. Buzzwords are designed to excite and sell you, but there are real differences between dashboards, analytics, rules engines, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Do these differences matter and how much? How do each of these technologies really impact underpayments and denials? How specifically can each of these technologies help the medical billing industry? Most importantly, do these systems work and provide enough of a return on investment to warrant the cost?

Learning Objectives – At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

1. Define technological buzzwords in the revenue cycle management industry
2. Utilize new technologies to impact denial management
3. Decide which new technologies are worth an investment
