Curr Urol Rep. 2024 Dec 27;26(1):23. doi: 10.1007/s11934-024-01252-2.

Abstract

Purpose of review: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has produced a significant impact across various industries, including healthcare. In the outpatient clinic setting, AI offers promising improvements in efficiency through Chatbots, streamlined medical documentation, and personalized patient education materials. On the billing side, AI technologies hold potential for optimizing the selection of appropriate billing codes, automating prior authorizations, and enhancing healthcare fraud detection. The purpose of this review is to explore the current applications of AI in men's health clinics, with a focus on enhancing clinic efficiency and billing practices.

Recent findings: Current uses of AI, including AI-powered Chatbots, Large Language Models (LLM) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), are discussed with a focus on their application in men's health clinics. Additionally, the challenges associated with their implementation are highlighted.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Billing; Efficiency; Men’s health; Natural language processing.
