From Burden to Confidence: Operational and Technical Optimizing of HCC Coding with AI-Supported Workflows

As coding leaders navigate rising audit scrutiny, shifting risk-adjustment models, workforce constraints and growing expectations for accuracy, the stakes for complete and compliant documentation have never been higher. In this ACDIS webinar presented live on January 27, 2026, 1-2 p.m. Eastern, CHRISTUS Health leader Jeannine Bumford will share a candid, operational look at how their system strengthened post-encounter coding workflows, improved audit readiness and reduced burden using Premier’s Stanson Health’s CodingCare solution.

Attendees will hear how CHRISTUS approached a large-scale RADV audit, identified high-risk categories requiring 100% review, operationalized query integrity and developed processes for quality assurance, deletion management and meeting the 60-day CMS correction window.

Whether your organization is employed, independent or hybrid, this session provides actionable operational strategies, AI adoption lessons and best practices for building a coding workflow that is compliant, efficient and future-ready.

Learning Objectives:  

• Explain how AI-supported post-encounter workflows reduce unnecessary coder workload, minimize redundant queries and increase the accuracy and efficiency of documentation capture.
• Evaluate the role of automation within the EHR, including work queue skip logic, OPA suppression rules and other mechanisms that reduce noise and surface only true documentation gaps.
• Identify best practices for provider engagement and trust-building, ensuring AI recommendations, queries and documentation prompts support, not frustrate, clinician workflow.

This webinar will offer one (1.0) ACDIS CEU for live attendees only!
