A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

ANSWER
21. ICD-9 vs ICD-10 (2013 or 2014 Certification)
If I am planning on taking the CPC or CPC-H exam this year. Will I still have
to be recertified again next year for ICD-10? I have heard several members
state that it is mandatory for everyone and is offered online without being
proctored. Would you advise that I just wait and take the exam next year
with all of the upcoming changes. Some members are saying that it might
not occur in 2014, due to the expense of the software for providers. Any
advice would greatly be appreciated! Sincerely, Sally

22. Books for 2014
I went to the AAPC website to see what books they were offering for 2014 and it just left me with more
questions! I see that AAPC has special reduced prices until June 30th, but what books should I be
ordering? It would be great it Laureen covered this in the webinar so we could make an informed
decision by June 30th.
a) Last year there was a freeze on ICD-9 code changes and really there was no great reason to buy the
ICD-9-CM book for 2013. Maybe, they had some typos corrected, but the codes did not change. (Of
course, I did not figure this out until I had the 2013 book.) Is that freeze still on? Should I just keep the
2013 ICD-9-CM book to use for the first part of 2014?
b) Should I purchase the ICD-10-CM Draft book? Or wait for the ICD-10-CM "Real" version?
c) When will the ICD-10-CM "Real" manual be available?
I guess these questions may have different answers for those people taking the CPC exam in 2014,
before and after Oct 2014, and those who are already certified and have access to an
encoder, such as Supercoder. ANSWER

24. Amanda - Please help me understand how to properly code for a
routine well-woman exam (preventative yearly check-up) for an
established pt under 39 yrs, AND a separate issue, like
depression. (the primary reason for the visit is the preventative
care, but during the visit the 2nd reason, depression, is
discussed and pt issued rx for meds and/or counseling).
Wouldn't it be 99395, 99213-25? I'm SO confused with
modifiers. Thanks for helping.

26. Hi, I code cpt 36415 along with labs and have
noticed that Medicare and most other carries,
deny as global (considered routine & is not
covered) except when billed with "Physicals", I
have also noticed 36415 is not anywhere on cci
edits however 36410 is. Is 36410 the preferred
venipuncture code for lab draws now? - Teresa

27. TiffanyM- Hello, I am very interested in learning about providers
billing a patient as new and established at the same time.
I work in the medical field. I came across a claim where the
provider billed three lines of service. A 99386 - For the
preventative visit - dx - Well GYN exam. On the next line they
billed the Q code which is ok, and let me add, they also attached a
25 modifier to the 99386. On the 3rd line they billed a 99213 -
Established Patient - Office or other outpatient visit, attached a
modifier 25 to this code as well. ANSWER
Billing a Patient as New & Established
