UPCOMING EVENTS

Over the past 40 years, utilization management has achieved wide use as a cost-containment strategy, reducing the consumption of unnecessary health care services. At the same time, it has also contributed to administrative burden through phone calls, faxes, and manual review of clinical data. This free webinar will explore how that burden can be reduced by applying automation and artificial intelligence. Participants will gain insight into the history of how artificial intelligence has been used in health care, along with potential benefits and risks of the various methods. The presentation will describe how MCG Health approaches this technology responsibly by emphasizing evidence-based medicine.

Join the MHDC team for this free webinar as they introduce and share the latest progress about NEHE N 3.0, a cost-effective, collaborative, open standards-based exchange of clinical and administrative data, implementing priority use cases to move toward automation for prior authorization and quality measurements.

WEDI is proud to announce its annual national conference, taking place from October 15-17 at the American University's Washington College of Law in Washington, DC.
