Coding turnaround used to be measured in days. With autonomous platforms, it is measured in hours, and on inpatient charts, in minutes. Faster coding compresses the cash cycle and lifts working capital. Here is the math.
01 / WHYWhy TAT matters more than ever
Cash that does not move is cash that costs you.
Every day a claim sits before submission costs working capital. The industry median for note to claim turnaround is 3.4 days. AI first hospitals run 4 hours. That gap is worth 11 days of DSO compression on average, and 1.4 million dollars in released working capital on a 250 bed hospital.
02 / HOWHow AI accelerates each step
Five steps that used to take 80 minutes now take 90 seconds.
03 / BENCHBenchmarks across specialties
Where the speed up shows up most.
04 / FASTWhat real time looks like
One chart, end to end, in 90 seconds.
We had a same day visit at 2 pm and the claim was paid by 6 am the next morning. That used to take three weeks.
05 / STEPSThree steps to compress TAT
Pick one, start this week.
- Measure your current note to claim TAT by chart type
- Identify the highest volume chart type with the longest TAT
- Run a 4 week pilot with AI coding on that single chart type
TAT compression is the most underrated line in the AI coding business case. CFOs love it. CIOs love it. Even physicians love it. It is the rare upgrade everyone agrees on.
