The free tool (https://t.co/zK7qUOYuSj) allows users to simulate the financial cost as well as the likely number of false positives for different testing options and frequencies. #UnitedHealthGroup @FierceHealth https://t.co/LjdJ57Qh6f

Will #patientID finally happen? Sorely needed. The 2016 National Misidentification Report (Ponemon Institute) found that it costs the average hospital $17.4M/year. Compromises patient safety, outcomes and is detrimental to clinician productivity. https://t.co/azqfhFq10H

Despite some positive developments last year for reimbursement of #AI technology, it remains challenging to get reimbursement in #radiology for AI in fee-for-service environments say authors in a recent @radiology_rsna article. https://t.co/z7XTYaGzF5

#CMS creates a #NTAP (New Technology Add-on Payment) to deal with the yearly subscription charged by #Viz.ai fir the use of its ContaCT. So the $1040 reimbursement per use of the #AI model isn't what it appears. https://t.co/soy7PAMCGw
