Iodine Software Teams With TruCode to Help Health Systems Capture More Earned Revenue

Iodine Software Teams With TruCode to Help Health Systems Capture More Earned  RevenueIodine Software’s 2022 Best in KLAS solution integrates with TruCode Encoder Essentials software to drive more efficient and accurate clinical documentation improvement.

AUSTIN, Texas – September 7, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Iodine Software, the leading enterprise AI software in healthcare, and TruCode, a CPSI company that provides encoder technology solutions that maximize coding efficiency, today announced a partnership that enables health systems and hospitals to more effectively perform clinical documentation improvement (CDI).

Iodine Software will integrate TruCode Encoder Essentials directly into its AwareCDI suite. The combined solutions will provide CDI teams with easy access to detailed diagnosis and procedure code reference information directly in their workflows, in addition to access to complete official code books.

“Clinical documentation improvement is one of the most important areas of hospital operations and has a direct impact on both revenue performance and clinical quality. However, it often requires healthcare professionals to complete complex and tedious work that can negatively impact organizational performance. We want our clients’ CDI teams to have the best tools and resources available to them to streamline their work, minimize stress and create a positive working environment,” said William Chan, Iodine Software Co-founder and CEO. “Providing TruCode’s industry-leading technology within our AwareCDI Suite will allow CDI professionals to have the confidence that every claim has a complete and accurate reflection of the patient encounter, ultimately supporting earned-revenue opportunities and reducing denials.”

AwareCDI is based on Iodine Software’s proprietary CognitiveML technology, the most advanced and versatile AI engine available in healthcare. It’s the only available market solution that addresses mid-cycle revenue cycle leakage at each step, which is one reason why it was recently named the 2022 Best In KLAS CDI Software by KLAS Research with a score of 91.2.

By embedding TruCode’s robust coding resources directly into AwareCDI, CDI teams can easily access resources that support accurate capture of documentation and code assignment resulting in appropriate claim reimbursement and accurate reporting of patient outcomes.

“This partnership offers tremendous opportunity for hospitals and health systems because it brings together two industry-leading technologies, each with proven success. By combining TruCode’s expertise in encoder technology and coding workflows with Iodine’s powerful AI engine, we can deliver real value for healthcare organizations looking to improve the quality of care they deliver while improving revenue capture,” said Chris Fowler, CPSI CEO.

An estimated 84 percent of healthcare leaders believe that a root cause of lost or decreased revenue is inaccurate clinical documentation and coding, which can cost the average hospital $5-10M for the average 250-bed hospital in revenue leakage. By integrating AI and coding software directly into a CDI team’s workflow, provider organizations can capture earned revenue and minimize physician burnout caused by documentation and coding processes.

About Iodine Software
Iodine is an enterprise AI company that is championing a radical rethink of how to create value for healthcare professionals, leaders, and their organizations: automating complex clinical tasks, generating insights and empowering intelligent care. Iodine’s powerful predictive engine complements the skills and judgment of healthcare professionals by interpreting raw clinical data to generate real-time, highly focused, predictive insights that clinicians and hospital administrators can leverage to dramatically augment the management of care delivery – facilitating critical decisions, scaling clinical workforces through automation, and improving the financial position of health systems.

Overwhelmed Mental Health Care Workers Demonstrate Need for New Ways to Provide Care

Overwhelmed Mental Health Care Workers Demonstrate Need for New Ways to Provide CareADHD Online alleviates overburdened system’s long wait times for patients to receive ADHD assessments, treatments, and care

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – September 7, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

An ongoing strike by mental health workers, coupled with state laws that mandate urgent responses to mental health issues, highlight the need for expanded resources for mental health care such as the assessment, diagnosis and treatment services provided by ADHD Online.

Recent events in California highlight a looming national problem. A new state law, passed in 2021, mandates that mental health providers respond quickly to requests for mental health care – including offering appointments within 10 business days. Psychologists, therapists and other mental health professionals say they are stretched too thinly, prompting the strike.

Those resource constraints force routine procedures like ADHD assessments to be treated as low priority, creating months-long wait times for assessments. Strikes by mental health push out ADHD assessment appointments even further, past 12 months in most cases, according to ADHD Online. And that places tremendous stress on individuals and families.

“Because ADHD assessments are not considered urgent, a family member may be waiting far too long to get answers and start living a better life,” said Zachariah Booker, CEO and co-founder of ADHD Online. “If you’ve had that experience, you know that you can’t get answers quickly enough.”

ADHD Online, founded in 2018, alleviates the burden on traditional mental health services through its system of HIPAA-secured, online ADHD assessments that connect people with licensed, doctoral-level psychologists who can perform ADHD assessments within three to five days.

ADHD Online’s certified assessments and any resulting diagnoses can be taken to patients’ own primary care providers for treatment, or the patient can use ADHD Online’s network of providers for ongoing treatment. In select states, ADHD Online also offers streamlined teletherapy appointments with master-level clinicians over HIPAA-compliant Zoom accounts.

“We know that the mental health care system is overburdened and that people need better ways to get the care they need,” Booker said. “Our mission is to ensure that everyone should have access to quality ADHD assessments regardless of who and where they are, and we have built a team of licensed professionals who are passionate about providing that care.”

ADHD Online is the only organization to offer HIPAA-secured ADHD assessments online with certified results from licensed psychologists. After diagnosis, ADHD Online providers and patients develop an ADHD treatment plan which may include medication and therapy, but the company does not advocate for treating all patients with medication and has no relationships with pharmaceutical companies.

For any patients beginning medication, ADHD Online requires an initial 30-day follow-up visit and repeated 90-day follow-ups if the patient is stable on their medications. Patients also provide their vital signs to ADHD Online throughout their care.

About ADHD Online

ADHD Online was founded in 2018 with the mission that everyone should have access to quality ADHD assessments regardless of who and where they are. The ADHD Online team is filled with industry experts across the United States who all share the same passion for ADHD and making sure patients have access to critical mental health services. ADHD Online is leading the way with being a critical voice for those who might be struggling with ADHD and is the only organization to offer HIPAA-secured ADHD assessments online with certified results from licensed psychologists. ADHD Online is active in all 50 states.

FibroNest’s AI scores Fibrosis Severity in Liver Biopsies

Liver Biopsies in three different stages of fibrosis severity are automatically scored by Fibronest with reproducibility and detection thresholds that exceed current methods

PARIS – September 7, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

The QUID-NASH Research Consortium (Paris, France) and PharmaNest, Inc. (Princeton, USA) announced today that they have entered a strategic partnership that will support the development and validation of a virtual liver biopsy (non-invasive) and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool for the diagnosis and staging of NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The clinical study involves 600 type 2 diabetic patients who are receiving a liver biopsy as part of standard care. The data collected (imaging, deep clinico-biological phenotyping, different omic approaches, extracellular vesicles and immune blood cell profiling) will be analyzed with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) and Bichat biostatistical teams through comprehensive and deep bioinformatics and biostatistics. 

Through its cloud-based, Digital Pathology platform FibroNest, PharmaNest will generate single-fiber and single-nuclei high-content quantitative histological datasets from each digital biopsy image to generate continuous scores that quantify the phenotypes of fibrosis and stage the severity of fibrosis and disease activity of NASH. This dataset will enrich the data collected and enable the consortium to discover novel histological phenotypes of NASH in T2D  patients.

The quantitative FibroNest method resolves the limitation of the current categorical and semi-quantitative methods and paradigms used of the histological assessment of liver biopsies,” says Prof. Valerie Paradis, Chair of the Pathology Department at Beaujon Hospital and leader of the INSERM team.

PharmaNest is excited to enable the QUID NASH consortium to enter the research field of Pathomic-Fusion and provide a robust and automated method for the quantification of the fibrosis,” says Mathieu Petitjean, Ph.D., CEO of PharmaNest, Inc. 

The addition of FibroNest’s Digital Pathology and Artificial intelligence capabilities to the QUID-NASH consortium will enhance performance of our upcoming virtual biopsy tests and generate significant upside for the investigation and understanding of NASH in T2D patients,” says Pr. Dominique Valla, Principal Investigator and founding director of the French Reference Center for Vascular Diseases of the Liver
