Podcasts about automating

If your practice's collections aren't where they should be, it might not be because of fewer patients—it could be because your revenue is trapped in insurance company limbo. The truth? Without a rock-solid revenue cycle management (RCM) process, you're leaving money on the table… and adding stress to your team. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with Shreyas Parab, co-founder and CEO of Daydream, to explore how AI can revolutionize dental billing without removing the human expertise that keeps claims moving. Shreyas shares his unique perspective—shaped by growing up in his mother's small Medicaid dental practice—on why dental billing is a hidden bottleneck for many offices and how automating key steps can unlock both revenue and time. We break down what “human-in-the-loop” AI really means, how to verify insurance more efficiently, and why complete transparency in billing services is non-negotiable for cash flow health. We also dig into the broader role of AI in dentistry—what's working now, where the technology still falls short, and the untapped opportunities that could transform patient communication and education in the near future. Shreyas provides real-world examples of practices that have recovered hundreds of thousands in aged receivables by combining AI-driven workflows with experienced billers, and why this hybrid approach outperforms both in-house teams and traditional billing agencies. Whether you're currently outsourcing, doing billing in-house, or simply curious about what's possible, this conversation will give you the tools to evaluate your RCM strategy and future-proof your practice against the growing complexity of insurance reimbursement. Here are the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode: Automating bottlenecks works best with expert oversight. Pure AI isn't ready to replace billers—but it can triple their efficiency. Transparency is key. If you can't see exactly what's happening with your claims, you can't fix revenue leaks. Growth magnifies billing challenges. Expanding operatories, adding associates, or buying a new practice will strain in-house billing unless processes scale. Patient communication is an untapped AI opportunity. Future tools could educate patients before appointments, improving case acceptance and freeing up clinical time.   Key Takeaways 00:43 Introduction and Event Announcement 02:23 Meet Shreyas Parab: The Vision Behind Daydream 04:30 The Journey from Dental Practice to AI Solutions 05:59 Understanding the Burden of Dental Billing 07:45 The Role of AI in Automating Dental Billing 10:00 Why Automation Over Software Tools? 13:00 Human-AI Collaboration in Dental Billing 14:33 Services Offered by Daydream 15:46 AI-Driven Processes in Dental Billing 17:47 Pain Points with Traditional Billing Agencies 21:12 Identifying Candidates for Daydream's Services 23:22 Exploring AI's Impact on the Dental Industry 24:00 The Future of AI in Dentistry 28:44 AI's Role in Patient Education and Communication 30:38 Limitations of AI in Dental Practices 33:06 Understanding AI's Writing Patterns 38:19 Innovative Marketing Strategies in Dental Practices   — Connect with Shreyas Learn more about Daydream and schedule a demo at daydream.dental.   — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

Automating medical coding presents significant challenges due to the intricate nature of health information management, particularly medical records, which form the bedrock of healthcare coding and billing. Protected Health Information (PHI) exists in various formats, including handwritten notes, patient intake forms, and dictated lab reports. This lack of standardization poses a considerable hurdle for AI systems.Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) professionals—such as coders, billers, and auditors—possess the contextual understanding necessary to interpret and extract crucial information from diverse and sometimes illegible records. The complexity of abstracting documentation is further compounded by ambiguous acronyms, localized jargon, and specialized medical language. Additionally, a substantial portion of the information provided to coders is subjective, demanding a level of interpretation that current AI technology may not yet possess.For AI to acquire these essential skills, medical coders will need to train the systems, and auditors will be responsible for verifying their accuracy. This technological shift is inevitable, so RCM professionals should consider developing these skills to remain competitive in the evolving IT landscape.Join us as host Terry Fletcher welcomes Sirisha Bommireddipalli to the show for an insightful discussion on this important topic.

Have you ever wondered why your sales team's performance doesn't match their enthusiasm for training? I found myself in this exact predicament, puzzling over a 97% customer satisfaction rate for our program, yet only 15% of participants were implementing what we taught. This disconnect led to a fascinating journey of discovery and innovation in the world of sales technology. Key Insights: The unexpected pivot from service to software, driven by market demands and investor feedback How we leveraged our sales training expertise to create AI-powered writing and engagement tools The importance of understanding your users' workflow to build truly valuable solutions Strategies for transitioning from a service-based model to a product-led growth approach The Productivity Paradox Here at Vengreso, we uncovered a fascinating paradox in sales training. Despite a 97% satisfaction rate with our training programs, only 15% of reps were actually implementing what they learned. Why? The answer lies in the time-consuming nature of sales activities. Their research showed that on average: It takes 6-12 minutes to write a LinkedIn comment. Creating a social media post consumes 32 minutes. No wonder reps weren't putting their training into practice! This insight led to the development of two new features within FlyMSG, an AI-powered writing and sales engagement tool designed to streamline these processes.

This Podcast Is Episode 640, And It's About How To Build Systems That Support Your Construction Business Turning the 3 Pillars—Marketing, Accounting, and Production—Into Repeatable Routines(without adding more work) You've done the hard part—you're running a construction business, getting jobs, and turning out quality work. Perhaps you've even begun to refine your marketing, job costing, and project delivery strategies, thanks to the three pillars we've discussed: Attracting the Right Jobs, Controlling the Money, and Delivering Projects Profitably. But here's the next step that will take your business from reactive to reliable, from "just getting by" to scaling sustainably: You need systems. Not paperwork piles. Not more apps. Just smart, repeatable steps that make your business more efficient—even if you're still a one-person show. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help contractors every day who are great at swinging hammers but are overwhelmed by admin. This post will show you how to build simple systems around your existing workflow, so you can run your business more smoothly, make better decisions, and free up your time. What Is a "System" Anyway? A system is simply a repeatable process that occurs consistently without requiring you to reinvent the wheel each time. It could be: A checklist An automation A template A recurring habit Or a combination of all of the above The goal is predictability—so your business can function smoothly whether you're at a job site or taking a day off (yes, that's allowed!). Why Small Construction Businesses Need Systems You might be thinking, "I'm not a big company—I don't need systems." But the truth is, you need them even more. Why? Because without systems: Every invoice is different Every client interaction takes extra effort You forgot to track your hours or materials You lose receipts or miss billing for change orders You're constantly reacting instead of planning The right systems save you time, reduce stress, and increase your profitability. And they don't have to be complicated. System #1: A Simple Lead-to-Job Process The Problem: You get an inquiry, scribble notes on paper, forget to follow up, or lose track of what was discussed. Sound familiar? The System: Create a basic lead intake form (Google Form, CRM tool, or paper checklist) Pre-qualify leads with a few standard questions: Project type, location, timeline, budget Save all client information in one place (e.g., Google Sheet, Notion, Trello). Use a standard estimate template so every quote includes: Scope Pricing Timeline Payment terms Send a welcome email template after a job is accepted (include next steps, policies, and what to expect) Bookkeeper's Tip: Keeping track of leads and estimates helps you compare projected vs. actual profits, so you can learn which jobs are truly worth your time. System #2: A Weekly Money Routine The Problem: You're too busy to check the books, so you don't know if you're making or losing money until tax time. The System: Set aside 30–60 minutes each week to review your finances: Reconcile transactions (or send to your bookkeeper) Check outstanding invoices Follow up on late payments Log hours worked and materials used (by job) Review your cash flow forecast for the next two weeks Even if you outsource the bookkeeping, your weekly check-in keeps you in control. Make it part of your Friday routine, just like packing up your tools. Bookkeeper's Tip: We can set up automated reports to send you a cash flow summary, job costing update, or overdue invoice list via email each week—no extra work on your end. System #3: Job Costing and Change Order Tracking The Problem: You think you're making money on jobs, but in the end, you can't say for sure, and you might've given away work for free. The System: Use a spreadsheet or job costing software (like QuickBooks Projects or Buildertrend) Track: Labor (hours × rate) Materials (receipts, delivery invoices) Subcontractors Permits, rentals, and other direct costs Add a simple change order log to each job file Description, date, price, status (pending/approved) Get approval before starting extra work   Bookkeeper's Tip: When you track jobs this way, we can help you compare estimated vs. actual costs and margins—so your future quotes get sharper and more profitable. System #4: Project Timeline & Client Communication The Problem: Clients get anxious when they don't hear from you, and scope creep happens when there's no clear plan. The System: Break each project into 3–5 major phases (demo, framing, finish work, etc.) Assign rough start/end dates Use a whiteboard, app, or calendar to stay on track Send weekly updates to clients (template email or quick text summary) "Here's what we completed this week… Here's what's next…" Bookkeeper's Tip: When jobs stay on schedule, you're more likely to invoice on time and get paid faster, which improves your cash flow. System #5: Receipts, Invoices, and Tax Readiness The Problem: You have a shoebox full of receipts and scramble to find documents when tax season rolls around. The System: Use a digital system like Dext, Hubdoc, or even a shared Dropbox folder Snap photos of receipts as you go—tag them with the project name Save estimates, signed contracts, and change orders in organized folders Send invoices promptly at milestones (use progress billing templates) Review reports monthly with your bookkeeper (Profit & Loss, Job Profitability, etc.) Bookkeeper's Tip: With clean books and digital records, tax time is painless—and you'll never miss a deduction. The Myth of "More Work" The biggest myth about systems is that they add more to your plate. In reality, they save you time and stress by preventing confusion, wasted effort, and missed revenue. Stop rewriting the same emails Stop digging for info buried in texts Stop guessing at prices or costs Stop forgetting to bill for work you did With systems in place, your business becomes predictable, profitable, and easier to manage—even as you grow. Ready to Systemize Your Construction Business? You don't have to figure this all out on your own. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help small contractors establish and maintain systems that align with their workflow. Whether it's: Automating job costing Simplifying invoicing Organizing digital receipts Reviewing job margins Or building custom templates We'll help you take the guesswork out of your money—and give you back control of your time. Let's identify one or two areas in your business where a system could save you hours (and dollars) every week. You build homes. We'll help you build the business behind them.

Russ Thomas, CEO at Availity, shares that 80% of the prior authorization requests made through the company's Intelligent Utilization Management solution are “touchless,” meaning that responses are returned without the need for manual processing by staff at either the provider or the payer. Their AI-assisted processing does end-to-end authorization reviews in under 90 seconds, most in less than 20 seconds, so that the patient can learn the answer while still at the clinician's check-out desk.  This is Availity putting into action now what payers recently announced wanting to do by 2027.He calls Availity "the largest network in healthcare," direct connected to 95% of health plans and aiding 3-1/2 million providers.Learn more about Availity: https://www.availity.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

He is the Regius Professor of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow and the Founder & CEO of Chemify. He is known for his approach to the digitization of chemistry and developing digital-to-chemical transformation known as Chemputing which can turn code into reactions and molecules. He has also developed a new theory for evolution and selection called assembly theory which aims to quantify and explain how selection can occur in chemistry before biology. Lee is also exploring how chemical systems can compute, and what is needed for the evolution of intelligence, as well as designing a new type of computational system that uses information encoded in chemical reactions and molecules.

Special Virtual Episodes with ISACA Leaders: State of Cyber (Part 1) - Maintaining readiness in a complex threat environmentSpeakers:Jamie Norton - ISACA Board Member Chirag Joshi - Sydney Chapter Board Member Abby Zhang - Auckland Chapter Board Member Jason Wood - Auckland Chapter former PresidentBharat Bajaj - ISACA Melbourne Board DirectorFor the full series visit: https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/security-amp-risk-professional-insight-series-2025/#mysecuritytv #isaca #cybersecurity OVERVIEWAccording to ISACA research, almost half of companies exclude cybersecurity teams when developing, onboarding, and implementing AI solutions.Only around a quarter (26%) of cybersecurity professionals or teams in Oceania are involved in developing policy governing the use of AI technology in their enterprise, and nearly half (45%) report no involvement in the development, onboarding, or implementation of AI solutions, according to the recently released 2024 State of Cybersecurity survey report from global IT professional association ISACA.Key Report Findings Security teams in Oceania noted they are primarily using AI for: Automating threat detection/response (36% vs 28% globally); Endpoint security (33% vs 27% globally); Automating routine security tasks (22% vs 24% globally); and Fraud detection (6% vs 13% globally).Additional AI resources to help cybersecurity and other digital trust professionalso EU AI Act white papero Examining Authentication in the Deepfake EraSYNOPSISISACA's 2024 State of Cybersecurity report reveals that stress levels are on the rise for cybersecurity professionals, largely due to an increasingly challenging threat landscape. The annual ISACA research also identifies key skills gaps in cybersecurity, how artificial intelligence is impacting the field, the role of risk assessments and cyber insurance in enterprises' security programs, and more.The demand for cybersecurity talent has been consistently high, yet efforts to increase supply are not reflected in the global ISACA IS/IT-community workforce. The current cybersecurity practitioners are aging, and the efforts to increase staffing with younger professionals are making little progress. Left unchecked, this situation will create business continuity issues in the future. Shrinking budgets and employee compensation carry the potential to adversely affect cybersecurity readiness much sooner than the aging workforce, when the Big Stay passes. Declines in vacant positions across all reporting categories may lead some enterprises to believe that the pendulum of power will swing back to employers, but the increasingly complex threat environment is greatly increasing stress in cybersecurity teams; therefore, the concern is not if, but when, employees will reach their tipping point to vacate current positions.
