Proactive, AI-driven tools can drastically reduce administrative burdens in healthcare while improving access for patients who need it most.

In this episode, Pedram Afshar, founder and CEO of Escher Health, shares how his journey from physician to technologist began after losing a patient due to delays in Medicaid enrollment. Motivated by that tragedy, he built Escher, a platform inspired by M.C. Escher’s seamless designs to eliminate care gaps and administrative inefficiencies. At HFMA, he discusses the growing role of AI in transforming healthcare from reactive to proactive, especially in streamlining financial workflows. Escher’s self-service tools, accessible via smartphones, kiosks, or iPads, automate 90% of the enrollment process, easing burdens on staff and improving outcomes.

Tune in and learn how smarter systems are transforming Medicaid enrollment and making healthcare more efficient, accessible, and humane!
