AKASA

What can generative AI do for medical coding? Susan Morse of HIMSS Healthcare Finance News chatted with Malinka Walaliyadde, CEO of AKASA, to find out. Link to the full interview in the comments👇

Though AKASA is a remote-friendly company, we also enjoy getting together in person. This week, we've gathered in San Diego for fun and brainstorming. 🌞 🧠 It's been great chatting about where we are, where we're going, and how we can further help health systems. Hearing from colleagues, customers, and industry experts. And, yes, scavenger hunts, surfing, hiking, and karaoke. What an incredible week. 🎉

🎉 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐎𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞! 🎉 AKASA is heading to the HFMA Region 9 Annual Conference from November 3–5, and we’re pumped to talk all things 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐈 and revenue cycles. 🧠💡 If you’re attending, let’s grab some time to connect! We’d love to share how our AI solutions are helping health systems unlock new revenue and boost efficiency. 📈 Want to learn more?

🏆 So honored to be named a finalist for the Fierce Healthcare Innovation Awards in Artificial Intelligence Solutions. 🏆 We're incredibly proud of the work we're doing in generative AI, helping health systems and revenue cycles become faster, smarter, and better! #FierceInnovationAwards #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #Healthcare

📣 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘: 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠! 📣 A recent Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) Pulse Survey (commissioned by AKASA) reveals that 90% of hospital and health system revenue cycle leaders believe generative AI (GenAI) will impact medical coding operations, and 65% expect that impact to be 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥! 🔍 Key Insights: 🔴 45% of healthcare leaders are optimistic that GenAI will significantly improve their coding operations 🔴 20% see GenAI as a complete game-changer, expecting it to drive a full restructuring of coding processes 🔴 While 25% remain skeptical, they acknowledge GenAI's potential for improvements 💬 As AKASA CEO and co-founder Malinka Walaliyadde put it: "Generative AI is the future of medical coding. It’s like giving coders superpowers. They can now perform the same work, but 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫. We don’t believe in replacing coders with technology. The goal is to empower them, streamlining and automating routine tasks and ultimately freeing up coders to focus on the areas of highest value where their attention is most needed." 👇 Click the link to dive into the full press release and see how GenAI can help take your coding team to the next level. https://lnkd.in/e7CWDP6Q

🧠 Deep Friday thoughts from Amy Raymond...on RCM and GenAI: I’ve worked in the revenue cycle for 20+ years and things aren’t getting better. 🤖 Technology is the only way forward. And we’re not talking basic macros and brittle RPA anymore. 🧠 We’re talking generative AI — trained on your data, pulling information from patient records, and making intelligent suggestions within your workflows. For the first time ever, we have technology that looks at both the clinical AND financial records of a patient — and understands the connections. 🚀 This new wave of solutions is revolutionary. 💪 It’s eliminating silos, making revenue cycle teams smarter, and empowering them to work more efficiently and effectively. 🤯 Patient access teams can work further out. Coding teams can handle more complex encounters. Billing teams can make time to advise patients. 🧘 It creates the breathing room that’s so hard to come by in this industry. 📈 Plus, organizations can decrease write-offs, improve margins, and serve their patients better. 🏆 Everyone wins.

⏰ It’s almost time for #AHIMA24! Hope to see you in Salt Lake City. We’re giving medical coders superpowers with our innovative GenAI solutions. Let’s connect at AHIMA on how those superpowers can benefit your health system. 🦸 🤖Visit our booth right near AHIMA HQ, and our AI experts can fill you in on all things GenAI, including how it can help you find missing codes, improve the capture rate of quality indicators, and identify missing reimbursement! 📈See for yourself the amazing results leading health systems are already experiencing. 😎Sign up NOW for a quick, 15-minute conversation with us at AHIMA and we’ll thank you with a crossbody bag or a pickleball paddle. You'll walk away with a trendy accessory and cutting-edge coding insights. https://lnkd.in/enue9mWb 📆 Attend the can’t-miss session “Why Medical Coding Needs Generative AI” on Tuesday, October 29 at 10:15 a.m. MT, featuring our director of coding: Mindy Harris, RHIA, CCS, CDIP, CPC, CPMA, CRC. It’s going to be a fun week in the Crossroads of the West. Can’t wait to see you there.

How is AKASA Medical Coding using generative AI? To offer coding teams some pretty incredible features. 🤯 📑 Reviewing every relevant clinical document (clinical notes, imaging notes, clinical observations, and more) for every encounter 🔗 Providing AI-generated justifications and direct quotes and links to underlying charts to show where we got coding recommendations 💪 Sharing AI-generated confidence level indicators for recommended codes to help staff accept certain codes quickly Want to learn more about how we're using GenAI?

👏 Thanks for a great symposium, HFMA South Texas Chapter! Lots of interesting conversations about challenges, trends, and good BBQ. 🤖 Amy Raymond's session on GenAI in the revenue cycle was a crowd-pleaser, with roundtable discussions about how to take advantage of this new technology and empower staff. As one attendee said: "We have some RPA automation in place, but this just doesn't cut it long term. We have to do more. These new generative AI solutions are the most logical next step." See you next year, South Texas! Angela Glenn
