SEATTLE and HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MCG Health, part of the Hearst Health network and an industry leader in technology-enabled, evidence-based guidance, announces its Director of Product Management, Marivie Lanter, MBA, RN, BSN, and Anthony N. Akosa, MD, MBA, the Corporate Vice President of Care Management at Franciscan Alliance, will be featured speakers at the upcoming ACMA Leadership and Physician Advisor Conference (LPAC). This premier industry event for clinical leaders in case management, physician advisors, medical directors/CMOs, CNOs, and healthcare administrators, will be held November 18-20, 2024, in Huntington Beach, California.

“Our session qualifies for continuing education credit and will focus on the importance of using evidence-based guidelines with AI technology to enhance clinical decision-making.” – Marivie Lanter, MBA, RN, BSN, MCG Director of Product Management

Ms. Lanter and Dr. Akosa are set to deliver a compelling speaking session, “Harnessing the Power of Patient Data: Enhancing UM Performance, Mitigating Unnecessary Denials, and Improving Outcomes” on Wednesday, November 20, from 7:15 am – 8:15 am PT. Their session will explore how artificial intelligence technologies can help support timely and accurate clinical documentation and mitigate unnecessary denials from payers. In addition, the speakers will examine how utilization management, case management, and physician advisor teams can surface patient-specific data within the hospital EHR (electronic health record) and automatically compare it to nationally recognized, evidence-based guidelines to support clinical decisions.

Key objectives of the session will include:

Assessing strategies to improve observation rates, mitigate denials, enhance payer-provider collaboration, reduce chart review time, and prevent staff burnoutEvaluating how optimizing documentation practices can support better patient outcomes

“I am thrilled to be co-presenting with the eminent physician leader, Dr. Anthony Akosa, from Franciscan Alliance at the 2024 ACMA Leadership and Physician Advisor Conference,” said Ms. Lanter. “Our session qualifies for continuing education credit and will focus on the importance of using evidence-based guidelines – in combination with AI technology – to enhance clinical decision-making. This approach is particularly significant for healthcare leaders when they consider compliance with new legislation such as California’s recent SB 1120 which requires a human being to be involved in the final decision. Dr. Akosa and I will demonstrate the importance of basing care management decisions on independently developed guidelines that can be surfaced and referenced by AI tools rather than just machine learning algorithms alone.”
