[SHARON YEAZLE] Optum is at the forefront
of leveraging artificial intelligence
to drive efficiency.
We are constantly exploring
the new and advancing technologies
to make sure that outcomes are focused on coding completeness,
accuracy, and efficiency.
Hi, I'm Sharon Yeazle and I'm the Director of
our Risk Adjustment Coding here at Optum.
My team drives the capabilities
that make our coding programs effective for our clients.
There is a blend of artificial intelligence
and human judgment in our coding workflows.
Artificial intelligence helps us automate
traditionally labor-intensive workflows,
and it also helps assist the coder
to help make decisions about
the accurate and complete reflection of the member's health profile.
Using a significant amount of data
and learning with each and every program,
our Optum models have been learning for a number of years,
getting smarter, more intelligent,
better understanding the context of the content that's in the chart.
What sets Optum apart is our ability
to combine artificial intelligence
with human coding that focuses on coding for impact.
