AKASA

In my career, I've seen many technologies over promise and underdeliver. Read my blog post on how GenAI is changing the technologies that support CDI and middle revenue cycle operations.

Big recognition from HIT Consultant: “𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍-𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝑨𝑰 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆.” That quote highlights how Cleveland Clinic is using AKASA generative AI to power coding and clinical documentation integrity (CDI) across its entire enterprise — proving that AI in healthcare isn’t just promising results, it’s delivering them. Proud of our teams at AKASA and Cleveland Clinic for showing what’s possible when innovation meets real-world impact.

🎉 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀! 🎉 🏥✨Cleveland Clinic is once again leading the way in healthcare innovation — expanding its use of generative AI in the revenue cycle with the deployment of AKASA’s new clinical documentation integrity (CDI) solution across all U.S. locations. 💪 In only a few weeks, Cleveland Clinic completed its enterprise-wide rollout of AKASA’s AI coding solution, which now processes 100% of the health system’s inpatient volume. 🧠 Now, by extending this collaboration to CDI, Cleveland Clinic is taking another bold step to ensure every patient’s story is captured accurately, efficiently, and completely. To AKASA CEO and co-founder, Malinka Walaliyadde, this partnership represents what’s possible when health systems and technology partners take on healthcare’s toughest operational challenges together: “𝐵𝑦 𝑎𝑑𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑒, 𝑤𝑒’𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐴𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔-𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑔𝑎𝑝𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒.

Cleveland Clinic’s leadership shows how forward-thinking health systems can use GenAI to strengthen quality, protect margins, and free staff to focus on what matters most: patient care. 📖 Full story here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eJzZSVk7

🚨 NEW REPORT! Denials are soaring, margins shrinking. See how GenAI can save your revenue cycle.

“𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕.” That paradox was front and center when Jonathan Palmer, healthcare analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, spoke with Malinka Walaliyadde, CEO and co-founder at AKASA, on the Vanguards of Healthcare podcast. They discussed why the system is so complex — and how it might finally be simplified. The conversation goes deeper into: 🤔 Why the U.S. runs four different payment models at once — unlike any other country 🤯 How that leads to complexity, friction, and denied care 😭 The financial strain it puts on health systems 😍 How generative AI can help, particularly in the revenue cycle These challenges — and opportunities — are at the heart of this conversation. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eHaisKJp
