Solventum™ 360 Encompass™ Autonomous Coding System
Staff shortages and budget constraints in coding are a reality for the revenue cycle departments of hospitals and health systems. In a post-pandemic world, hospitals are competing for qualified talent on a large scale, and the constant changes in regulations, compliance requirements, and the increasing specificity in coding make it a challenge to stay up to date. Coding automation can help alleviate these concerns, but what does genuine coding automation entail, and how will it impact health information departments?

How it works
Solventum™ 360 Encompass™ Autonomous Coding System operates seamlessly in the background, under full client control, processing all current outpatient visits through a chart confidence workflow. Within this workflow, visits that meet all system and client-defined automation criteria are fully automated and final coded, ready for the next stage of the billing process, without any coder intervention. This solution provides a genuinely autonomous coding experience, enabling coders to focus their expertise on more intricate cases.
For visits that do not meet the criteria, a semi-autonomous workflow is initiated to expedite and guide coders towards a dependable final code set. Through a quality assurance process, your facility determines the percentage of visits that require coder review, ensuring additional peace of mind that the system is producing the correct final code set. If necessary, facilities can adjust parameters based on the coder’s expertise.
