Driving Audit Workflows in the Era of Agentic AI and IoT for Healthcare - with Yasemin Agatan of Adapt Health

Internal audit sits at the crossroads of regulation, data, and business outcomes—nowhere more than in healthcare and medical devices. Yasemin Agatan, Sr. Vice President of Internal Audit at AdaptHealth, joins Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello to unpack what an “AI-ready” audit looks like in one of the most complex and regulated environments. Yasemin lays out today’s top pressures: rapidly shifting FDA and HIPAA requirements, thorny revenue recognition and reimbursement models, multi-party contracts, and a deluge of device and platform data. She then maps where AI is already moving the needle—NLP for coding accuracy, automated claims checks, anomaly detection that shortens audit cycles—and how internal audit can lead with governance: creating an AI inventory, partnering with InfoSec, compliance, legal, and data teams, and putting privacy and data minimization at the core.
