	“In the compliance arena for healthcare provider organizations, the opposite of fraud or abuse is often described as ‘revenue integrity,’ which basically refers to documentation and coding performance. The general goal is to avoid reimbursement denials and audits, as well as potential takebacks, penalties and rework. Predictive analytics, executed, for instance, through the application of a rules engine, can highlight key areas that government and commercial payers are targeting for scrutiny. As another example, predictive analytics can identify claims with ICD-10 codes that require additional documentation specificity, information that helps provider organizations focus their training efforts.” - Ken Perez, Vice President of Healthcare Policy, Omnicell Inc.
