Review coding accuracy and compliance

Enhances✓ Available Now

What You Do Today

Audit a sample of coded encounters for accuracy, check for upcoding/downcoding risks, and ensure documentation supports the codes assigned.

AI That Applies

AI-assisted coding audit — natural language processing reads clinical documentation and suggests correct codes, flagging discrepancies with what was actually coded.

Technologies

How It Works

The system ingests clinical documentation and suggests correct codes as its primary data source. The processing layer applies the appropriate analytical models to the structured data, generating scored outputs that surface the most actionable insights. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.

What Changes

Your audit sample size goes from 5% to 100%. AI reviews every encounter and flags the ones that need human attention — the ones where documentation and codes don't align.

What Stays

Certified coders still make the final coding decisions on complex cases. AI handles the straightforward ones and escalates the edge cases.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for review coding accuracy and compliance, understand your current state.

Map your current process: Document how review coding accuracy and compliance works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
Identify the judgment points: Certified coders still make the final coding decisions on complex cases. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support 3M CodeAssist tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long review coding accuracy and compliance takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.
