Discharge decisions may contribute to the significant healthcare challenges associated with sepsis.

In traditional claim processing, the lack of interoperability between health plan and provider systems often leads to challenges and inefficiencies, like manual data exchange and a lack of transparency. This results in claim denials that drive unnecessary administrative work and costs as well as abrasion for members and providers.
Agentic AI — autonomous systems capable of reasoning, planning and acting — is often hailed as the next frontier in healthcare. In theory, these systems could eliminate billions in administrative waste by automating complex workflows like prior authorizations, claim denials and documentation management.
