Management$72k–$110k/yrFull-time
Core Competencies & Responsibilities
- Audit routine QA and compliance audits on AI-assisted and AI-autonomous outputs across Revenue Cycle workflows.
- Verify outputs against payer rules, federal/state requirements, and internal policies, ensuring decisions are documented and defensible.
- Ensure workflows meet governance principles of auditability, traceability, and reversibility as autonomy increases.
- Perform deep-dive validation in specific domains (e.g., verifying CPT/diagnosis codes accuracy, auditing clinical packet generation).
- Serve as the escalation point for low-confidence, outlier, or high-risk cases flagged by AI, ensuring correct resolution and appropriate handoffs to human teams.
- Maintain an exceptions log, categorize failure modes, and drive corrective actions with owners.
- Conduct quality reviews on external vendor and technology partner performance against established operational standards and SLAs.
- Compile performance data to identify negative trends, outputting findings into operational dashboards and vendor scorecards.
- Partner with leadership to address vendor deficiencies through structured feedback and recommend corrective action plans.
- Monitor operational and financial signals to detect drift and emerging compliance risk, explicitly including denial trends, reimbursement impact, and case mix swings.
- Escalate patterns suggesting systematic error, over/under-treatment of policy logic, or patient financial harm risk.
- Analyze operational workflows end-to-end to identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and upstream clinical failure points that drive rework or compliance risk.
- Establish and maintain standardized procedures to reduce variability as the department shifts from manual processing to AI-augmented workflows.
- Maintain and continuously improve the department's knowledge base, ensuring all operational policies, escalation pathways, and decision trees are documented to support automated workflows.
- Provide targeted, at-elbow coaching and operational support to frontline staff adjusting to new automation tools and changing workflows.
- Develop and deliver brief training interventions or job aids based on validated performance data and identified knowledge gaps.
- Educate frontline teams and stakeholders on recurring error patterns, documentation/inputs that drive AI failures, and how to route/resolve exceptions.
- Coach and mentor staff through operational and technological change with empathy and accountability.
- Support and/or participate in enterprise AI governance processes including risk classification, documentation standards, and ongoing audit cadence aligned to risk tiering.
- Ensure evidence is auditor-ready: decision rationale, data lineage references, versioning of policy logic, and clear records of what changed, when, and why.
