In this insightful episode of "Leaders in Medical Billing," I had the pleasure of hosting Landon Tooke, the COO and Chief Compliance Officer at Impact Healthcare Solutions. Landon shared his unconventional journey from working in healthcare since 2001 to founding a rural health medical billing and consulting firm, and eventually pursuing a law degree to deepen his expertise in healthcare compliance and law.
Landon discussed the evolution of his career, highlighting his transition from clinical roles to founding Impact Healthcare Solutions in 2009. His firm specializes in rural hospital billing, and over the years, they have increasingly focused on compliance-related issues, prompting Landon to gain further qualifications in healthcare law.
A significant portion of our conversation delved into the pressing issues of cybersecurity and the legal implications of using artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in the medical billing industry. Landon emphasized the high value of medical records, making healthcare providers and RCM companies prime targets for cyberattacks. He stressed the importance of continuous education, robust cybersecurity measures, and the need for a proactive approach to protect sensitive data.
Furthermore, Landon provided a critical analysis of the current landscape of AI and automation in RCM, distinguishing between true AI and more common automation processes used today. He cautioned RCM companies about the potential legal liabilities when deploying these technologies, especially as they become more sophisticated and autonomous.
Listeners can find more about Landon and Impact Healthcare Solutions at their website or connect with him on LinkedIn for more updates on healthcare compliance and cybersecurity.
