Nationwide — Visionary author, healthcare consultant, and tech innovator Dr. Lanette Woods launches her latest book, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Shaping the Future: The New Era of Medical Coding. This pioneering work explores how AI is transforming clinical documentation, coding accuracy, and healthcare operations — while confronting the urgent issue of bias and representation in healthcare technology.
“AI in healthcare coding is a game changer,” asserts Dr. Woods, CEO of Data Report and Cost Containment Corporation (DRCC). “But as we innovate, we must also interrogate how bias creeps into our data systems. My goal is to connect knowledge and technology—empowering coders, administrators, and providers to collaborate with AI systems that are equitable, transparent, and inclusive.”
Alongside the book, AIMRRA.org offers a dynamic learning platform where professionals can gain certification, participate in live workshops, and receive specialized training to integrate AI tools into healthcare and medical coding. Its mission? To ready the workforce for a future where automation, analytics, and human expertise unite to boost outcomes Its curriculum emphasizes understanding algorithmic bias and its impact on communities of color—especially Black patients who have historically faced disparities in data-driven healthcare decisions.
The platform’s aim is twofold: to prepare the workforce for an AI-enabled future and to ensure that future systems uplift every community. For patients, that means fairer outcomes, fewer claim denials, and more resources for high-quality care. For healthcare organizations, it means stronger analytics and improved coding accuracy built upon ethical foundations.
As the demand for AI-literate healthcare professionals continues to grow, AIMRRA’s certifications are designed not only to open career doors but to advance diversity, inclusion, and accountability across the health tech industry.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Shaping the Future: The New Era of Medical Coding is available in print and digital formats.
