AI in CDI: Foundational Concepts and Practical Applications

AI in CDI: Foundational Concepts and Practical Applications

Overview

AI in CDI: Foundational Concepts and Practical Applications provides an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in the mid-revenue cycle, specifically CDI. Through comprehensive instruction with real-world examples, learners will understand the evolving role of AI in CDI, outline plans for responsible use, and describe strategies for implementation and oversight.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly relevant for CDI departments and workflows; however, its uses are often misunderstood or even misrepresented, leaving CDI specialists wondering, "What is AI? How does it benefit me in my everyday workflow? Will it eventually replace me?"

AI in CDI: Foundational Concepts and Practical Applications seeks to answer these questions and provides the critical information CDI specialists need to take advantage of AI's benefits.

Those who complete the AI in CDI: Foundational Concepts and Practical Applications course will walk away with a thorough understanding of:

• Types of AI, including machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), large language models (LLM), generative AI, predictive AI, computer-assisted vs. autonomous coding, and agentic AI
• Core principles of Human-Centered AI (HCAI) design philosophy and principles of responsible AI use
• AI applications in CDI, coding, utilization management, health information management, and denials and appeals
• Practical LLM uses for daily workflows as well as key considerations
• Governance for AI, including state laws, industry frameworks, and international guidance
• Red flags in vendor conversations
• How to prepare and manage your team during times of change, such as a new AI implementation
• Pillars of AI governance and sample AI governance committee roles

The AI in CDI: Foundational Concepts and Practical Applications course will help you:

• Recognize where AI already influences daily work and debunk common myths
• Utilize the Automation Wavelength to determine whether a given task is a suitable candidate for automation
• Determine appropriate quality oversight for AI use
• Build a business case for AI, including calculating return on investment
• Evaluate potential vendors and AI products to determine value
• Implement a four-phase strategy and 90-day road map for a new AI product
