Episode #165. How AI is Making Hospital Workflows Smarter and Faster, with Nicholas Lin, Co-founder and CEO of Guava
What if hospitals could reduce hours of administrative work to minutes, without ever compromising sensitive patient data?
In this episode, Nicholas Lin, cofounder and CEO of Guava, explains that their company automates prior authorization for hospitals without accessing PHI or EHR data. Their AI agents handle up to 95% of time-consuming administrative tasks, like coverage checks and policy reviews, by performing automated calls and warm transfers to human specialists only when necessary. The solution arose from their personal healthcare backgrounds and conversations with providers, aiming to streamline workflows while addressing hospitals’ strict data privacy concerns. Currently piloting with NewYork-Presbyterian, Guava hopes to scale nationally and sees education around AI’s capabilities as key to overcoming provider hesitation.
Tune in to hear Nicholas Lin explain how Guava’s AI agents are revolutionizing prior authorization, helping specialists work faster, smarter, and stress-free!
