Artificial Intelligence

Module 8 – Artificial Intelligence and Health Information Management Health information management (HIM) is the collection, storage, analysis, and management of healthcare data and comprises disciplines of computer science, information science, information management, medical, and business. Artificial Intelligence (AI), a discipline of computer science imitating human intelligence, is an emerging field and gaining increased application in these aspects of the HIM. This module outlines the role of AI in collecting, retrieving, and analyzing healthcare data, as well as extracting information from unstructured healthcare data for medical coding and billing, essential for the financial health of healthcare organizations, besides the challenges AI faces in performing these functions. Module 8 Objectives: After completing this module, you should be able to: 1. Assess the role of AI in HIM. 2. Discuss the use of AI in parsing unstructured healthcare data for medical coding and billing. 3. Assess the challenges AI faces in HIM functions. 4. Analyze the future trends of AI applications in HIM. Module 8 Readings What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Health Information Management: Implications of Artificial Intelligence on Healthcare Data and Information management Artificial Intelligence vs True Intelligence: What the C-Suite, HIT, and RCM Need to relearn from HIM How Artificial Intelligence is Rewriting the Medical Coding Automation Future of Medical Billing and Coding with Artificial Intelligence How Artificial Intelligence is Increasing the Medical Billing and Coding Efficiency Overview of NLP Applications in Healthcare in 8 Minutes Medical Natural Language processing Medical Coding is the Next Step for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Taking Medical Coding to the next level with Artificial Intelligence Clinical Natural Language Processing – Challenges, Tasks, and Datasets. AI in healthcare creates unique data challenges DISCUSSIONS Artificial Intelligence (AI), a simulation of human intelligence by computers, is used in almost all industries with the relatively recent entry into healthcare. In which ways (applications) is AI used in healthcare? How can AI be used for health information management (HIM)? How can it assist the HIM manager in performing his/her duties? What could be its future in HIM? Why? Your initial post comprising a minimum of 250 words should contain at least 2–3 peerreviewed references followed by a minimum of two (2) responses to classmates’ posts comprising at least 150 words supporting, challenging, clarifying, or adding to the existing information ASSIGNMENT Natural Language Process (NLP) is a type of AI applied for transforming (text mining) free (unstructured) text to structured data for use in healthcare analytics. The most useful information in the patient’s health record is in the progress notes, which need to be mined for medical diagnosis and treatment for revenue cycle management. For this assignment analyze: 1. What is NLP, its tasks, tools, and approaches? 2. How can NLP help extract information from progress notes as diagnostic (ICD-10CM) and service (CPT 4.0) codes for reimbursement? 3. How accurate is the information extracted by NLP? Could the accuracy be improved? How? 4. Will NLP eliminate the medical coding profession at one stage? Why? 5. How could NLP help in performing HIM manager his/her functions? 6. How do you see NLP’s future in the HIM profession? Why? Your APA formatted MEMO and the Model documents comprising 2-4, double-spaced, typed in 12-point Times New Roman (or 11-point Calibri) excluding the Cover and Reference pages ÒØ≥÷
