Truly Autonomous Coding Requires a Multifaceted Solution

Coding technology has come a long way since the days when Computer-Assisted Coding (CAC) was a bleeding edge feature of the more advanced encoder solutions. Today's CAC solutions are often integrated with Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) tools and have automated much of the coding process. Enhanced with Artificial Intelligence (AI) combining Natural Language Processing (NLP) with knowledge graphs and a wide variety of system learning techniques, today's CAC solutions are capable of reading different types of data from within the patient's EHR chart and propose the most relevant codes. Coders need only accept or decline proposed codes.It is...
