Amanda Sharp, CEO of AdvancedMD, explains how artificial intelligence can help physicians reduce the time spent completing administrative tasks after patient visits, a process often referred to as "pajama time." AI-assisted transcription and documentation can populate charts while physicians review and approve the results, giving them back hours in their evenings.
This immediate benefit makes AI attractive to independent practices that may otherwise struggle to absorb denied claims or reimbursement discrepancies. AdvancedMD's expansion with Waystar now includes coverage, claims, denial, remittance, and patient-estimate capabilities within the AdvancedMD portal. AI doesn't mean doctors will lose jobs; instead, it can shift employees from repetitive tasks to those requiring judgment, improving patient experience and financial health.
Sharp emphasizes the importance of human review, data security, and secure integration when implementing AI in medical practices. For practices already operating independently, AI can provide capabilities that a solo physician or small group would otherwise find challenging to support internally. The near-term transformation for healthcare AI may lie in reducing the administrative burden, allowing physicians to close their laptops earlier and staff to spend less time on repetitive work.
