Peer Insights Playbook: The People Side of Autonomous Coding

Inside the Transition at Intermountain Health and OSU Physicians: What HIM and Coding Leaders Learned After Go-Live

Published June 4, 2026 11:01 am | Updated June 5, 2026 1:41 pm

The People Side of Autonomous Coding is a playbook built from the firsthand lessons of HIM, coding, and revenue integrity leaders at Intermountain Health and OSU Physicians who have taken their teams through go-live with autonomous coding.

The playbook focuses on the part teams find hardest to plan for: how roles, operations, and stakeholder expectations change after go-live.

Every insight comes directly from leaders who have lived the transition, captured in a recent Fireside Chat Nym hosted with AHIMA and NAHRI.

If you’re evaluating autonomous coding or preparing for go-live, this playbook gives you a realistic view of the work that can help you get the most out of the technology.

  • Expanded coding career paths, building new tiers, apprentice programs, and AI-era roles instead of cutting headcount
  • Built their auditing function around a four-phase timeline, the operational shift leaders said they underestimated most
  • Earned buy-in across coders, the C-suite, providers, and vendors by framing the change differently for each group
