Ep58: Using AI To Improve Patient Health and Save Money w/Tanya Sanderson

November 04, 2024 • Dr. Eric Fethke

It’s time to change the way we look at medical necessity and payment policies.

According to Tanya Sanderson, using AI could just be our best option.

Her work with human-centred tech company Xsolis is shaking up healthcare, improving outcomes for patients, saving money, and doing away with the excess of waste in our current system.

—————

We spoke about the value of combining diverse experiences from the nursing, finance, legal and technology worlds to create an approach that ultimately best serves the patient, the payment denial patterns in healthcare and how they have negatively impacted patient outcomes, using AI to break down silos between payers and providers, and how everyone can best begin to access AI approaches in their own institutions and communities.
