11-1 Cаse Study Pаrt 2: Bаttle оf the Bоts at Dixоn Moorhouse Hospital Dixon Moorhouse Hospital already faced a meltdown with its failed EHR rollout. Screens cluttered like an overstuffed junk drawer, a billing process stuck in gridlock, downtime that stretched into hours, and physicians scribbling orders on napkins as if digital health never existed. Trust in technology lay in ashes. It is stressful. While the hospital scrambles to recover, a new tech controversy emerges: AI-powered claim denials. Dixon Moorhouse treats many older adults requiring extended rehabilitation. Recently, billing staff started noticing a spike in rejected claims from major insurers. Denials arrive instantly with vague auto-responses like “not medically necessary.” Providers breathe fire. Patients panic at the thought of unexpected medical debt. The hospital’s new HIM Director uncovers the disturbing truth: insurers use proprietary algorithms to rapidly deny claims without genuine human review. Some patients are discharged early because an AI claims they are “recovered enough,” even when clinicians strongly disagree. Families appeal, only to lose precious care time. Enter a counter-offensive. Dixon Moorhouse adopts AI tools like Counterforce Health to automatically generate detailed appeal letters. Appeals go out in minutes rather than days. Staff joke that the hospital’s AI is dueling the insurer’s AI like two robots in a billing arena. Still, a deeper ethical battle simmers.Who should really decide when a patient needs care? A faceless algorithm? Or the clinicians treating them? Regulators have begun stepping in. California’s new SB 1120 requires that humans make the final call on medical necessity. Similar laws may follow nationwide. The stakes mirror the failed EHR launch: when technology advances without human stakeholders at the table, chaos blooms. In the spirit of Case 11–1 Part 1, student interns like you must decide whether emerging tech will improve patient experience or repeat the same mistakes. Part 2A: Demonstrate your Critical Thinking and Provide a Proposed Solution. If you were the Assistant HIM Director, how would you ensure that AI-driven claim denials receive proper human oversight to protect patient safety, clinician judgment, and fairness? Pick either the provider or patient perspective in crafting your solution. Another helpful hint is to remember patient empathy from your Chapter 19 Reading on The Art of Delivering Patient Centered Care in Technology-Laden Environments compared to bots. Part 2B: Your Training and Workflow Readiness Question How can hospitals prepare staff to work effectively alongside AI systems, preventing the confusion, resentment, and operational failures seen during the EHR rollout? From your reading in Chapter 6, SDLC, you remember that it's important to have phased rollouts, not just going live with a new system. We talked about the value of rapid prototyping, being prepared, and getting your staff ready before a rollout. Add to that idea as well as you training plan. Part 2C Your Data Quality and Need for Transparency Question What policies should be in place to ensure that AI claim-processing tools are transparent, unbiased, and compliant with privacy and licensing requirements that Dixon Moorhouse previously ignored? Think about algorithms in your Chapter 16 Reading on Data Mining and the need to understand the parameters within each algorithm. I gave you a hint by discussing California’s new SB 1120 law. Also consider what is behind the denials, such as possible unfair patterns? Please label all your responses. Part 2A: Part 2B: Part 2C:
