2w ago00:18:38Tap to summarizeAs health plans expand their use of artificial intelligence for utilization review, hospitals and health systems are adopting AI tools of their own – for documentation, coding automation, denial prediction and more – in an effort to level the playing field. But in an era of aspiration toward value-based reimbursement and of consumer-focused price transparency efforts, could this arms race be cooled for the good of all? Instead of a battle with leading-edge technologies on both sides, can payers and providers find common ground and instead use AI for the greater good – even, just maybe, for their patients and plan members? We speak with Michelle Mello, professor of health policy at Stanford School of Medicine, about those questions and others.

Success with AI depends less on creating content and data and more on distilling that information into insights that produce better decisions. In this podcast, Health Catalyst’s Robbie Hughes discusses how leaders can move beyond individual building block tools towards integrated solutions that combine generative AI with statistical models.
