Inovaare launches Usher, a Generative AI-Powered Compliance Assistant for Healthcare Payers and Providers

Prweb | May 26, 2023 | Read time : 03:00 min

Inovaare Corporation, an industry-leading healthcare compliance and operations management software provider, today announced the launch of Usher, a generative AI-powered Compliance assistant designed to simplify complex compliance content for the healthcare industry. Usher combines the power of conversational AI, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and deep learning to provide a whole new experience that would transform and accelerate Compliance Department as well as business user productivity.

Usher can work across various operational users of a healthcare payer or provider organization to assist analyzing regulatory requirements, provide summarized policy/procedure content, and respond to any regulatory standards. Usher responds to queries conversationally and remembers previous conversations — all while sustaining privacy and security requirements.

The models powering Usher are heavily trained on regulatory content and context, making it enterprise-ready to securely deliver AI at scale. It is currently being used for Medicare regulatory guidelines, CMS notices, such as HPMS memos, as well as organizational Policies & Procedures.

"Usher will fundamentally transform the work of every user as it enhances their ability to adhere to compliance requirements that improve overall member experience,” said Pravat Rout, CEO of Inovaare Corporation. “Our mission is to empower users to manage compliance requirements effectively, so we integrated Usher with our Compliance Operating Platform as well as our GRC and Appeals & Grievances solutions, for added functionality and benefits."

CommonSpirit Health Sets Up National Value-Based Care Organization

CommonSpirit Health | September 22, 2023

Population Health Services Organization strives to enhance access to equitable healthcare, elevate quality, reduce costs, and benefit millions of patients. Half of CommonSpirit's value-based providers are external, paving the way for PHSO's network expansion. PHSO leverages CommonSpirit's value-based healthcare expertise, including successful risk-bearing organizations and ten accountable care organizations covering over 2.6 million lives. CommonSpirit Health has unveiled a nationwide value-based services platform named Population Health Services Organization (PHSO). This initiative primarily aims to enhance access to equitable healthcare, elevate care quality and outcomes, and reduce the overall cost of healthcare delivery. PHSO will deliver various services, including advanced population health analytics, network administration, care coordination, data management and analytics, technological infrastructure support, reporting, and additional support to empower healthcare providers and provider networks to excel in value-based care. Wright Lassiter III, CEO of CommonSpirit Health, stated, The PHSO is a natural extension of our mission and longstanding commitment to providing high-quality, equitable care and addressing social determinants of health. [Source – Business Wire] He added that by harnessing CommonSpirit's national scale and expertise in value-based care, the company's goal is to elevate the standard of healthcare in the United States and assist providers in succeeding in value-based care within diverse community-based health system environments. CommonSpirit Health extends its services to urban and rural communities across 24 states, establishing itself as one of the United States' most prominent providers of Medicare and Medicaid services. Consequently, its PHSO will cater to an even more diverse payer portfolio. Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President, Physician Enterprise at CommonSpirit Health, highlighted the organization's unique advantage in serving diverse communities encompassing Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance, making their data more representative of the American population compared to models primarily focused on commercial insurance. He added that CommonSpirit's presence in 24 states provides them with the data, tools, and access to a broad patient demographic, allowing them to tackle crucial national health challenges that require their size, scale, and expertise. For example, they can utilize data insights to understand testing, referral, and treatment patterns, enabling interventions that reduce viral infections like Hepatitis C, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Value-based care emphasizes the quality of healthcare over its quantity, promoting comprehensive and coordinated care to enhance health outcomes, quality, and equity. This model relies on contractual incentives for providers to achieve superior results, improve quality, enhance patient experiences, and curb healthcare expenses. Notably, the demand for such agreements is rising, exemplified by the company's goal to transition most Medicaid and all Medicare beneficiaries into value-based care relationships by 2030.
