1.0 – Health Law and Compliance
Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering healthcare workflows across documentation review, coding, denials management, clinical validation, auditing, reimbursement analysis, and operational decision-making. This session will explore how AI is changing the healthcare revenue cycle workflow and why HIM expertise remains essential to maintaining documentation integrity, compliance, reimbursement accuracy, and operational trust.
Through real-world workflow scenarios, AI comparison exercises, and revenue cycle examples, attendees will examine where AI-generated interpretations may vary, where risk begins, and why human oversight remains critical in modern healthcare operations.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Explain how AI is influencing healthcare workflows across coding, CDI, denials management, auditing, documentation review, and revenue cycle operations.
- Differentiate between rule-based automation, traditional computer-assisted coding technologies, and generative AI tools.
- Analyze how AI-generated outputs may vary when reviewing the same documentation.
- Identify documentation integrity, compliance, reimbursement, and audit risks associated with AI-assisted workflows.
- Apply practical validation strategies to review AI-assisted recommendations while maintaining compliance with coding guidelines, organizational policy, and documentation standards.
- Recognize the evolving role of HIM professionals in AI governance, auditing, validation, education, and operational decision-making.
