Webinar: AI-powered Coding for Cleaner Claims Start Earlier: Practical; Strategies to Improve Accuracy Before Denials Begin, March 4

Coding accuracy sits at the center of both financial performance and clinical efficiency but staffing and resources are not keeping pace for many ASC and orthopedic practices. As pressures increase, practices are turning to AI-powered support to keep pace and avoid falling behind.

As documentation requirements evolve and payer scrutiny increases, small inconsistencies in coding can create downstream denials, delayed payments, and unnecessary administrative burden for physicians and staff. AI-enabled coding tools now help practices address these challenges earlier in the revenue cycle, allowing coders and billers to focus on higher-value work instead of time-consuming, lower-impact tasks.

In this webinar, healthcare leaders will explore how practices across specialties are taking a more consistent, supported approach to medical coding by adopting AI-driven insights and automation. It will focus on practical strategies to improve accuracy earlier in the revenue cycle, reduce avoidable rework and support cleaner claims, all while enabling coding and billing reams to work at the top of their license and deliver greater value to the practice.

You’ll learn:

• How to reduce denials and rework by improving coding accuracy and consistency using AI-powered support,
• Where coding issues most often create downstream revenue cycle disruption, and
• Practical ways to support cleaner claims earlier in the revenue cycle while shifting staff towards higher-impact work.

Webinar: Faster, Smarter, Safer: How Health Systems Thrive in an Era of Constant Disruption, March 26

Health systems no longer experience episodic disruption. Today, disruption is continuous, overlapping and accelerating faster than traditional leadership models were designed to handle.

Labor pressure, reimbursement uncertainty, AI acceleration, partnership complexity and changing consumer expectations are colliding at once. This executive conversation examines how health system leaders are operating at the edge of constant disruption without increasing risk. Rather than debating tools or frameworks, the discussion centers on real decision-making inside complex operating environments.

During this session, senior health system leaders will share how they are rethinking governance, prioritization and leadership behaviors to move faster while protecting clinical, financial and operational stability.

Attendees will learn:

• Where leadership teams unintentionally slow decision-making and how to remove friction without compromising oversight,
• Which decisions are commonly over-governed and how to reset decision rights,
• How executives cut through vendor noise to identify true strategic priorities, and
• What leadership capabilities will matter most over the next three to five years.
