Description:
The healthcare revenue cycle is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history,driven by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and intelligent automation. Administrative burdens,skyrocketing denial rates, and a persistent staffing crisis have pushed traditional RCM models to their breaking point, forcing health systems to rethink how they manage and protect revenue. In this power-packed webinar, Natasha Schlinkert, CEO of Innobot Health and a nationally recognized RCM expert, will cut through the buzzwords and deliver a clear, practical picture of how AI and automation are being deployed right now to drive real, measurable results across the entire revenue cycle. Attendees will explore proven use cases — from prior authorization and denial prevention to payment posting and patient collections — and discover how organizations that have embraced intelligent automation are reducing costs, accelerating cash flow, and freeing their teams to focus on higher-value work. Whether you are just beginning to explore automation or are ready to scale your existing efforts, this webinar will give you the strategic framework, the roadmap, and the confidence to lead your organization into the future of RCM.

Learning Objectives:
Course participants will be able to:

• Identify and prioritize the highest-value AI and automation opportunities within their own revenue cycle by evaluating current workflows, bottlenecks, and areas of revenue leakage that are most susceptible to intelligent automation.
• Distinguish between proven AI use cases and industry hype by applying a practical automation maturity model to assess where their organization currently stands and what realistic outcomes they can expect at each stage of adoption.
• Develop a actionable 90-day RCM automation roadmap by applying a step-by-step framework that addresses technology evaluation, vendor selection, staff change management, and performance measurement to successfully implement and scale AI-powered solutions.
