SUMMARY:[Members Only Webinar] The Value of Enhanced Coding in Care and Benefit Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:[Members Only Webinar] The Value of Enhanced Coding in Care and Benefit Decision Making\nTuesday\, August 13\, 2024\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (CDT)\n\nThis webinar is a NADP Member Briefing and is available for only NADP Members.\n \nAs we are well aware\, dentistry has fallen behind our medical colleagues in the use of coding tools.  Specifically\, medicine has been able to combine (and now apply AI) to the combination of diagnostic codes with the procedures provided for a patient\, literally beginning to understand why (diagnostic code) a clinician did what (the procedures provided for the patient). \nThis seemingly simple idea has largely eluded our profession to date.  Our medical colleagues have successfully used this to develop much improved care guidelines\, and improved decision support tools to assist in more efficient workflows and improved patient outcomes. \nThis presentation will cover how dentistry fell behind\, the many advantages of enhanced coding and how the profession might move forward to improve outcomes for patients. \n\n\nDr. Linda Vidone\nChief Clinical Officer & Vice President of Clinical Management at Delta Dental of Massachusetts\n\nLinda Vidone\, DMD\, is Delta Dental of Massachusetts’s (DDMA) chief clinical officer and vice president of clinical management.
