## Resource

In a recent video interview, Brian Yavorsky, CTO at Imagenet, discusses how the company helps payers use AI and other data technologies to achieve efficiencies. Emphasizing the difficulties in getting skilled staff, Yavorsky says that automation can reduce labor not by removing people, but by automating areas that are difficult to staff. Plus, by automating the mundane tasks you allow staff to work on higher value tasks that they enjoy more. Many payers are burdened with legacy systems and workflows, especially after acquiring other companies. Although the systems work individually, the fragmentation in systems and data introduces inefficiencies and requires more manual work, which adds to costs and slows payer responses. Organizations that don't address this fragmentation suffer from inefficient processes and often can't benefit from new AI technologies.
