90% of Prior Authorisations Approved in One Minute | Gigi Yuen-Reed, Cohere Health

80 to 90% of cases automatically approved inside a minute. Gigi Yuen-Reed on what has to be true first. Book Ian for your event → iankhan.com | booking@iankhan.com SUMMARY Cohere Health is a clinical intelligence platform working across the payer and provider ecosystem. Gigi Yuen-Reed explains why administrative waste persists, why nobody has a genuine patient 360, and why clinical context is a technology problem rather than a data-volume problem. KEY POINTS • 80–90% of cases automatically approved within one minute • Administrative waste as the visible symptom of a deeper problem • Nobody has a true patient 360, which blocks everything downstream • Data fragmented even inside a single EMR, depending on the health system • Understanding clinical context is a technology problem, not a storage problem • Digitisation happened; usefulness did not automatically follow • Designing safety into automated clinical decisioning "One of the major roadblocks is that we don't actually fully understand a patient 360." — Gigi Yuen-Reed GUEST Gigi Yuen-Reed, Chief Data & AI Officer, Cohere Health Recorded at ViVE 2026 for The Futurist. ──────────────────── ABOUT IAN KHAN — HEALTHCARE AI KEYNOTE SPEAKER Most AI keynotes end with a better understanding.
