The future of autonomous coding, from a coding expert’s perspective
December 16, 2025 | Karen Pien and Mike Ristau
There is a shortage of medical coders, not just in the U.S. but around the globe. In this episode, join University of Brussels Hospital’s Dr. Karen Pien as she dives into the future of medical coding—exploring how automation can reduce repetitive tasks, address coder shortages and free experts to focus on complex cases. Learn how hospitals can leverage AI-driven solutions to improve efficiency, accuracy and financial outcomes.
I always call my coders the imagination, people who can really see where to go if they're really trained in what is going on and understand the process.
