In kind of a last minute decision, I saw that the Rise West conference was happening in Las Vegas. They kindly gave me a press pass so I could attend for a half day and see what it was like. I’d heard really good things about the Rise conferences and I’d say that many health IT companies were in attendance.
What’s ironic about the event is that it’s largely focused on the payer market, but the first two people I met were both at provider organizations. One of those providers was focused on their value based contracts, so that made some sense. Plus, I shouldn’t have been too surprised as the world of payers and providers overlaps more and more.
My time at the conference was limited to a few hours, but I was lucky to get a chance to do a couple video interviews at the conference.
The first video I did was with David Rosenfeld, VP, Sales at RAAPID. In this brief video, we ask him what RAAPID is talking about at the conference. No surprise he offered a bit of an AI angle in what they called purpose built AI for risk adjustment. Check out the video with David Rosenfeld from RAAPID to learn more about their risk adjustment AI efforts and some of the other challenges he’s seeing in the industry.

Next up, we chatted with Kerry Saylor, Director of Client Services at ChartRequest. In this short video, Saylor talks about ChartRequest’s efforts in the ROI (Release of Information) space. Plus, we talk about RAC Audits and payers increasing demand for records and related records requests. Until we have ubiquitous healthcare interoperability (will that ever happen?), these records requests are still a big deal and often take up a lot of resources at a healthcare organization. Check out our interview with Kerry Saylor from ChartRequest to learn more.
