Allied Digestive Health strikes AI partnership

Allied Digestive Health, the third largest gastroenterology organization in the country, has partnered with Suki, a provider of voice artificial intelligence-powered healthcare solutions. Allied Digestive has been a trailblazer in implementing AI, using it to completely automate its coding processes and identify potential subjects for research studies, according to a Dec. 7 press release. Allied Digestive was among the first practices to use Suki's ambient note-generation capabilities and experienced significant benefits as a result. Early results indicate financial benefits due to a significant increase in encounters billed as E/M level 4 from E/M level 3. Allied Digestive's revenue cycle team indicated notes created by Suki were more descriptive, supporting this higher level of coding.
