What You Should Know:
– Inovalon, a provider of solutions that empower data-driven healthcare, has announced a new collaboration with Google Cloud to develop an AI-enabled solution designed to address administrative burdens in the healthcare industry.
– The partnership will combine Inovalon’s extensive data solutions and subject matter expertise with Google Cloud’s advanced AI and machine learning capabilities to tackle time-consuming prior authorization processes.
A Vision for Simplifying Prior Authorizations
Prior authorizations are a major contributor to clinician burnout and can delay a patient’s access to timely care. Inovalon is in the early stages of developing an agentic AI solution that will intelligently surface payer-specific rules and documentation requirements, which will streamline the prior authorization process. The company plans to preview the solution at its annual healthcare summit, Empower, in Washington, D.C., from November 2–4.
The new solutions will be developed for customers on the Inovalon ONE® Platform, which supports more than 50,000 healthcare organizations across provider, payer, pharmacy, and life sciences settings. This platform is powered by the MORE2 Registry®, which contains over 92 billion medical events and data from more than 414 million unique lives.
“We are excited to collaborate with Google Cloud to overcome the paralyzing administrative requirements that are limiting available patient-care hours and even driving physicians and nurses out of clinical practice,” said Paige Kilian, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Inovalon. “Google shares our vision that improving healthcare outcomes begins with improving access to care and freeing medical personnel from administrative burden. AI is an incredible enabler for achieving that goal by simplifying or eliminating complex workflows to allow healthcare professionals to focus their attention directly on the patient.”
