Healthcare Compliance

The law firm Sheppard Mullin released a podcast episode examining artificial intelligence deployment in skilled nursing facilities, with a focus on the "human in the loop" model where AI assists rather than replaces clinical judgment. The episode, part of the firm's "Health-e Law" series hosted by partner Michael D. Orlando, featured Ernie Ianace of CareAlly, which develops AI solutions for post-acute care environments. The discussion centered on how AI can automate administrative and clinical processes—particularly RAI documentation and PDPM coding—while preserving human oversight in decision-making.
