Xsolis and Beacon Health System Leverage Gen AI to Make Medical Necessity Reviews More Efficient

Healthcare IT Today Interviews

AI is popping up everywhere in healthcare. The problem is that there is a lot of vaporware out there which talks of leveraging AI, but hasn’t actually implemented it yet. That’s why it was refreshing to learn about Xsolis leveraging generative AI to help Beacon Health System with the challenge that is medical necessity reviews.

To really dive into the details, I sat down with Heather Wagner, MBA, BSN, RN, Director of Utilization Review and Case Management at Beacon Health System and Wendy Reynolds, DHA, MBA, BSN, RN, Director of Clinical Consultants at Xsolis. We kick off the interview by learning about why Beacon Health System originally chose to partner with Xsolis a number of years ago. Wagner shared the details of that decision and some of the impact their organization experienced moving the largely paper processes into electronic ones. For example, Xsolis enabled their utilization review team to work remotely and serve a higher volume of patients. Plus, she shared how the move to Xsolis benefited their organization as they added new hospitals – applying Xsolis’ standardized processes to achieve more consistency.
