Autonomous Coding

What it does

AKASA's Autonomous Coding reads the complete inpatient chart for an encounter, including discharge summaries, operative notes, progress notes, consults, labs, imaging, and medications from all specialties. It produces a code set covering procedures, principal diagnosis, MS-DRG, present-on-admission indicators, and quality capture, with each code linked to the chart language that supports it along with its rationale and confidence level.

Health systems use it to code encounters at discharge rather than waiting days for a coder to begin work. AKASA says this can shorten discharged-not-final-coded time and accounts receivable days. Users set thresholds, service line rules, payer mix, and audit sampling, and the system codes only the categories they have approved, using ICD-10-CM/PCS and a model tuned to the health system's documentation patterns.

Designed for inpatient coding managers and revenue cycle executives at health systems with substantial inpatient volume. Access is through a demo request rather than self-serve sign-up. Outpatient encounters are planned for later, and AKASA's accuracy results come from its own blinded third-party evaluation.

What it can do

• Reads the complete inpatient chart across all specialties and document types
• Assigns procedure codes, principal diagnosis, MS-DRG, and present-on-admission indicators
• Links every code to supporting chart language with rationale and confidence
• Codes encounters at discharge rather than in a later queue
• Configurable thresholds, service line rules, payer mix, and audit sampling
• Codes only the categories the health system has approved

Example workflows

Discharge-to-coded encounter

Input: a discharged inpatient chart with provider notes, labs, imaging, and medications. Steps: the system reads the full chart, assigns codes, and links each code to supporting documentation. Output: a coded encounter with procedures, principal diagnosis, MS-DRG, present-on-admission indicators, and evidence for review.

Configured review boundary

Input: thresholds, service line rules, payer mix, and audit sampling settings. Steps: the system codes encounters within the approved boundaries and routes the rest as configured. Output: a code set limited to approved categories with documented rationale.

Before you choose

• Specific EHR and billing integrations are not named publicly; confirm supported systems during the demo.
• Outpatient facility encounters are planned for later, so current scope is inpatient.
• Accuracy results come from a vendor-commissioned third-party evaluation; validate performance on your own encounters.
