Edifecs to lead a panel on AI-driven approaches to improve alternative payment models
Edifecs, Inc., a global health information technology solutions company, is moderating a panel discussion at the RISE National 2024 conference, March 17-19, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee.
Summerpal Kahlon, M.D., Edifecs’ chief medical officer, will serve as moderator in the discussion featuring a national payer and a top provider, where the importance of AI, strategic data alignment, and empowering clinicians to adopt prospective risk adjustment practices when building collaborative alternative payment models (APM) will be explored.
In today’s marketplace, one of every four Americans is insured via a federal alternative payment model, in which unique risk, quality, and reporting mechanisms must be managed to ensure complete and accurate payments. At the same time, the government is actively investigating upcoding and overpayments, as well as addressing allegations of fraud. To traverse this tightrope, both health plans and providers need the right technological capabilities to realize improvements in care, quality, and cost.
During the event, Edifecs will showcase solutions that allow plans and providers alike to accelerate value-based payment adoption, more accurately manage population risk, and ensure adequate care funding. Artificial intelligence (AI) and interoperability have the potential to dramatically accelerate collaboration between payers and providers by enabling them to work together more transparently to improve alternative payment model performance. These technologies enable organizations to enhance risk acuity accuracy and minimize documentation errors, ultimately resulting in better care and better outcomes.
Edifecs will also feature its Best in KLAS interoperability platform, now including the FHIR API for prior authorization and electronic data interchange (EDI) capabilities needed to address all components of The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F). Edifecs is exhibiting at booth 505.
WHAT:
Payer/Provider Strategic Alignment: Lessons Learned While Building an AI Driven-Approach to Collaborative APMs: This session will highlight the use of AI solutions to ensure compliant diagnosis and coding gap closures for payers, gaining a better understanding of the covered population’s disease burden through comprehensive and predictive data.
