#Policy and Procedures Writing Software

[mariacallous]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now firmly a part of the hiring process. Some candidates use large language models (LLMs) to write cover letters and resumes, while employers use various proprietary AI systems to evaluate candidates. Recent estimates found as many as 98.4% of Fortune 500 companies leverage AI in the hiring process, and one company saved over a million dollars in a single year by incorporating AI into its interview process. While this figure is lower for non-Fortune 500 companies, it is still expected to grow from 51% to 68% by the end of 2025 because of the potential time and cost savings for employers. However, when these systems are deployed at scale, they can introduce a myriad of biases that can potentially impact millions of job seekers annually.

With more companies choosing to use AI in employment screening, these systems should face more scrutiny to ensure they comply with laws against discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces various laws that make it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees or job applicants on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information. According to guidance published by the EEOC in 2022, using AI systems does not change employers’ responsibility to ensure their selection procedures are not discriminatory, either intentionally or unintentionally. While this guidance was removed when President Donald J. Trump assumed office in January 2025, there has been no change in anti-discrimination laws. Investigations into AI hiring systems continue to be an important tool in evaluating the risks these systems pose and discovering ways to mitigate their potential societal harms. For example, in the U.K., an audit of AI recruitment software revealed multiple fairness and privacy vulnerabilities; in response to these findings, the Information Commissioner’s Office issued nearly 300 recommendations for ways to improve hiring practices that model providers and developers used in their products.

@pinepickled: I need them to ban AI already. It's so fucking disappointing that they're protecting AI works

I feel you, and if I never had to think about fanfic being written with AI ever gain, I would be so happy.

H o w e v e r . . . ✨

The problem is that it's essentially unenforceable. If you were an editor and an author known to you personally submitted something to you that they cheesed with AI, you could catch that. You'd have the limited volume and familiarity with their usual output to have a chance at making an informed decision. But Ao3 volunteers have a huge volume of fic to deal with, are unfamiliar with the authors, and can't hold Ao3 writers to any standard of good writing.

If Ao3 hosted images (it doesn't) and was primarily an art site (it isn't), it could implement software that scanned submissions for likelihood of procedural generation and then have volunteers review those images. There is A LOT more data in an image, and therefore a lot more chances for that data to give away that it was procedurally generated. (This is why images are more of a pain to host than text. The quantity of data.)

Text contains far fewer clues. It's hard to scan, by software or human eye, for machine-made weirdness. If you're a teacher, you can fuck around and leave hidden or weird instructions in your assignment to trick AI into including dead giveaways. But fanfiction is open-ended. You can't trick someone into walking into your trap if you don't know what direction they're even going in.

So if it's not enforceable and you say you'll enforce it but don't, just to scare people away, you're losing some of the trust your users have in you as an organization. And people who are breaking the rules learn that they don't have to respect your rules at all.

If it's not enforceable and you try ANYWAY, you end up with a lot of false positives when looking for AI (people writing in something other than their native tongue, people who are just bad at writing and can't carry a plot, people who express their thoughts in a "weird" way) as well as a lot of false negatives (people who your software or volunteers don't catch, people whose generated fic is pinged but lie and convince the Policy & Abuse team that they were flagged falsely, further muddying faith in the enforcement system). Now your users not only don't trust you to enforce your own terms of service, but feel harassed for being reported as using AI just because they're bad at English or writing.

As an organization that values the faith people have in it, the very last thing you'd want to implement is any major policy that is completely unenforcable, as this would be.

Best case scenario is Ao3 might finally include a mandatory toggle to self-flag a fic as procedurally generated. And best outcome is a fair number of people, who would otherwise straight-up lie to keep their fic up if AI was banned, might instead be honest and use that toggle. And then the rest of us might somewhat reliably filter it out when looking for something to read, hoping to find a real human that wants to connect with us through stories that mean something.

I could write so many tumblr posts about ChatGPT.

Zero: Already written. GPT-3/Midjourney is not a good tool for procedural level/content generation.

One: Remember when Siri was the future, or when Siri was the beginning of intelligent machines, or when Siri meant humans would just stop thinking for themselves and outsource things to computers, or at least when Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and "OK, Google" were spelling doom for the touchscreen/mouse and keyboard because in The Future, we will all talk to our computers like Captain Picard? Do these people have egg on their face or are they boldly ignoring their past mistakes?

Two: Remember when we called it "Machine Learning" instead of AI, because remember what happened the last time we hyped up things as AI? Why are people doing this again?

Three: Back to Siri. People were prognosticating that Siri would only get smarter. In many ways, it did, but that didn't result in a "general intelligence". And yet, Siri (and "OK Google") knows so many things for sure. Unlike GPT-3, which essentially suffers from fluent aphasia or Korsakoff Syndrome, Siri had a knowledge base and could reason. It wasn't intelligent, I grant you that. But do you understand why Siri, or IBM's Watson, or even Wolfram Alpha did not scale up to become ChatGPT? I mean I do, it's software engineering and marketing and economics of scale. But do those people who make grand predictions about GPT-4 understand this?

Four: Here in Germany, I hear politicians call for a more "competitive" AI policy, which mostly means less data protection. We are already in the absurd situation where a doctor can't publish the success rates of different surgical techniques in retrospect, because that would be a study and subjects have to consent in advance and a study on human subjects needs a good reason and also a control group - while at the same time the government wants to give health data to medical app start-ups in bulk. You think this isn't really about ChatGPT, but it is about machine learning. It looks like the government doesn't want doctors to analyse data, but start-ups, and it doesn't want studies, but products.

Five: AI is a marketing gimmick anyway. Many products just use AI to use AI. Blog posts about using AI to do a task exist to create FOMO in people who don't use AI. Products use "AI" in order to court controversy.

Six: Prompt injection and prompt leaking should be easily solved in principle, and I am sure by this time next year they will be "solved", and have been in some proof of concept projects, but in practice economic incentives apply that make this difficult or we would have solved it already.

Seven: Prompt engineering is difficult. It requires some insight into the behaviour of a language model, or at least its inner workings. Will prompt engineering stay relevant? On a related note, Google-Fu still as relevant as it used to be in 2004?

Eight: Did Siri get worse?

Why Eligibility Verification Is the First Step to Prevent Medical Billing Errors

In today’s complex healthcare landscape, medical billing errors are a costly and time-consuming problem for both providers and patients. From claim denials to delayed reimbursements, inaccurate billing can significantly disrupt the revenue cycle and hurt patient satisfaction. One of the most effective ways to minimize these issues is by performing accurate patient eligibility and benefits verification and doing it early.

Eligibility verification isn't just another administrative task; it's the foundation of successful healthcare revenue cycle management. It ensures that providers are paid on time, patients understand their financial responsibilities, and claims aren’t denied for preventable reasons.

What Is Eligibility Verification?

Eligibility verification is the process of confirming a patient’s health insurance coverage, benefits, and financial responsibility before services are provided. This includes checking:

Whether the insurance policy is active

What benefits are covered

Deductibles and co-pays

Pre-authorization requirements

In-network vs. out-of-network status

This verification process is usually done through payer portals, clearinghouses, or automated software integrations with the EHR.

Why It Must Come First

1. It Prevents Claim Denials and Rejections

According to industry data, insurance eligibility issues are one of the top five reasons for claim denials. If a patient’s coverage has expired, if their plan doesn’t cover a procedure, or if the provider is out-of-network, the claim will likely be denied—costing your staff time in rework and appeals.

Verifying eligibility before the appointment ensures that any coverage gaps or issues can be addressed ahead of time, avoiding unnecessary denials and write-offs.

2. It Improves Cash Flow and Accelerates Reimbursements

A clean claim starts with accurate patient data. When eligibility is confirmed in advance and benefits are clearly understood, the likelihood of submitting a clean claim increases significantly. Fewer denials mean faster reimbursements, reduced days in A/R, and a healthier revenue cycle.

Additionally, when patients understand their coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility ahead of time, they are more likely to pay their share at the time of service—boosting front-end collections.

3. It Reduces Patient Confusion and Billing Disputes

Patients are increasingly frustrated by surprise medical bills. One common reason? They weren’t aware of what their insurance would or wouldn’t cover.

When eligibility and benefits are verified before the visit, providers can clearly communicate:

Co-pay and deductible amounts

Services that require pre-authorization

Any out-of-pocket estimates

This transparency builds trust and reduces the likelihood of patients disputing bills or failing to pay.

4. It Frees Up Staff Time by Preventing Rework

Correcting a denied claim can take hours of staff time—time that could be spent on more productive tasks. If eligibility isn’t confirmed in advance, your medical billing team may have to:

Re-contact the patient

Re-submit claims

Appeal denials

Adjust accounts

By verifying coverage upfront, you eliminate the need for much of this back-and-forth and improve operational efficiency.

5. It Helps Determine Pre-Authorization Requirements

Many insurance plans require prior authorization services for high-cost or specialty services. If eligibility and benefits aren’t checked early, your team might miss this crucial requirement, resulting in denied claims—even if the procedure is medically necessary.

Eligibility checks often reveal which services need prior auth, allowing your staff to initiate that process ahead of time and prevent billing disruptions.

How to Implement a Reliable Eligibility Verification Workflow

To prevent billing errors, eligibility verification must be systematic, consistent, and integrated into your front-office workflow. Here’s how to build a strong process:

Verify insurance eligibility at least 48–72 hours before the appointment.

Use real-time eligibility tools or clearinghouse platforms to automate the process.

Train front-desk staff on how to check coverage details and ask the right questions.

Flag discrepancies and resolve them before the patient arrives.

Document verification details in the EHR or practice management system.

Communicate benefit information and financial responsibility to patients prior to the visit.

The Role of Technology in Error-Free Eligibility Verification

Manually calling payers or logging into multiple portals is time-consuming and error-prone. That's why many practices are turning to eligibility verification software that integrates directly with their practice management or EHR system.

These tools can:

Pull real-time eligibility data from payers

Identify pre-auth requirements

Alert staff to coverage limitations

Provide patient responsibility estimates

Automating eligibility verification reduces human error, speeds up workflows, and ensures your practice is always working with accurate, up-to-date information.

Final Thoughts

Eligibility verification is not optional—it’s essential. It’s the front line of defense against billing errors, claim denials, and patient dissatisfaction. By verifying coverage before the point of care, practices can protect their revenue, improve patient communication, and streamline their operations.

In an era where payers are becoming stricter and patients are more cost-conscious, getting eligibility right from the start is not just a best practice—it’s a business imperative.

What Makes a Great DevSecOps Developer: Insights for Hiring Managers

In the fast-pacing software industry security is no longer a mere afterthought. That’s where DevSecOps come in the picture - shifting security left and integrating it across the development lifecycle. With more tech companies adopting this approach, the demand for hiring DevSecOps developers is shooting high.

But what exactly counts for a great hire?

If you are a hiring manager considering developing secure, scalable, and reliable infrastructure, to understand what to look for in a DevSecOps hire is the key. In this article we will look at a few top skills and traits you need to prioritize.

Balancing Speed, Security, and Scalability in Modern Development Teams

Security mindset from day one

In addition to being a DevOps engineer with security expertise, a DevSecOps developer considers risk, compliance, and threat modelling from the outset. Employing DevSecOps developers requires someone who can:

Find weaknesses in the pipeline early on.

Include automatic security solutions such as Checkmarx, Aqua, or Snyk.

Write secure code in conjunction with developers.

Security is something they build for, not something they add on.

Strong background in DevOps and CI/CD

Skilled DevSecOps specialists are knowledgeable about the procedures and tools that facilitate constant delivery and integration. Seek for prior experience with platforms like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.

They should be able to set up pipelines that manage configurations, enforce policies, and do automated security scans in addition to running tests.

It's crucial that your candidate has experience managing pipelines in collaborative, cloud-based environments and is at ease working with remote teams if you're trying to hire remote developers.

Cloud and infrastructure knowledge

DevSecOps developers must comprehend cloud-native security regardless of whether their stack is in AWS, Azure, or GCP. This covers runtime monitoring, network policies, IAM roles, and containerization.

Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes are essential container security tools. Inquire about prior expertise securely managing secrets and protecting infrastructure as code when hiring DevSecOps developers.

Communication and collaboration skills

In the past, security was a silo. It's everyone's responsibility in DevSecOps. This implies that your hiring must be able to interact effectively with security analysts, product teams, and software engineers.

The most qualified applicants will not only identify problems but also assist in resolving them, training team members, and streamlining procedures. Look for team players that share responsibilities and support a security culture when you hire software engineers to collaborate with DevSecOps experts.

Problem-solving and constant learning

As swiftly as security threats develop, so do the methods used to prevent them. Outstanding DevSecOps developers remain up to date on the newest approaches, threats, and compliance requirements. Additionally, they are proactive, considering ways to enhance systems before problems occur.

Top candidates stand out for their dedication to automation, documentation, and ongoing process development.

Closing Remarks

In addition to technical expertise, you need strategic thinkers who support security without sacrificing delivery if you want to hire DevSecOps developers who will truly add value to your team.

DevSecOps is becoming more than just a nice-to-have as more tech businesses move towards cloud-native designs; it is becoming an essential component of creating robust systems. Seek experts that can confidently balance speed, stability, and security, whether you need to build an internal team or engage remote engineers for flexibility.

As a business owner or HR manager, you understand the importance of providing your employees with the necessary training to excel in their roles. A well-structured employee training manual is essential for achieving this goal. However, creating such a manual can be a daunting task, especially if you're unsure where to start.

In this article, we'll break down the process of crafting a powerful employee training manual into seven manageable steps. By following these steps, you'll be able to create a manual that effectively trains your employees, improves job satisfaction, and boosts productivity.

What are the company's policies and procedures that need to be communicated?

By clearly defining the purpose and scope of your manual, you'll be able to create a roadmap for the rest of the development process.

By gathering relevant content and resources, you'll be able to create a comprehensive and informative manual that covers all the essential topics.

How can you break down complex topics into smaller, more manageable chunks?

What headings, subheadings, and bullet points can you use to make the content more readable and scannable?

A well-organized and structured manual will make it easier for employees to find the information they need and to follow along with the training.

Step 5: Write Clear and Concise Content

When writing your employee training manual, it's essential to use clear and concise language. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that may be unfamiliar to your employees. Consider the following:

What is the simplest way to explain complex concepts and procedures?

How can you use examples, anecdotes, and case studies to illustrate key points?

What tone should you use to engage and motivate your employees?

By writing clear and concise content, you'll be able to communicate complex information in a way that is easy for your employees to understand.

To make your employee training manual more engaging and interactive, consider adding visuals and interactive elements. This may include:

Images, diagrams, and illustrations to help explain complex concepts

Videos, animations, and simulations to demonstrate procedures and techniques

Quizzes, games, and interactive exercises to test knowledge and reinforce learning

By incorporating visuals and interactive elements, you'll be able to create a manual that is more engaging, memorable, and effective.

Step 7: Review, Revise, and Update the Manual

Finally, it's essential to review, revise, and update your employee training manual regularly. This will ensure that the information remains accurate, relevant, and up-to-date. Consider the following:

How often should you review and update the manual?

What process should you use to gather feedback and suggestions from employees?

How can you ensure that the manual remains compliant with changing laws, regulations, and industry standards?

Best Practices for Creating an Effective Employee Training Manual

In addition to following the seven steps outlined above, here are some best practices to keep in mind when creating an effective employee training manual:

Use a conversational tone: Write in a friendly, approachable tone that makes the manual feel more like a guide than a textbook.

Include real-life examples: Use real-life scenarios and examples to illustrate key points and make the training more relatable.

Make it interactive: Incorporate quizzes, games, and interactive exercises to keep employees engaged and motivated.

Use visuals: Incorporate images, diagrams, and illustrations to help explain complex concepts and make the manual more visually appealing.

Vendor Onboarding: Building Strong Partnerships

In today’s fast-moving business world, vendor onboarding is more than just a process – it’s the start of a strong and long-lasting partnership. Whether you run a small business or a large company, working with reliable vendors is important. But how you begin that relationship can make all the difference.

What is Vendor Onboarding?

Vendor onboarding is the process of bringing a new vendor into your system. This means collecting their company details, verifying documents, agreeing on payment terms, and making sure both sides understand how to work together.

It may sound simple, but a smooth onboarding process helps avoid problems later and builds a good foundation for trust and collaboration.

Why is Vendor Onboarding Important?

Here are a few reasons why vendor onboarding matters:

Saves Time and Reduces Mistakes By setting clear expectations and providing the right information from the start, you reduce the chances of miscommunication or errors later on.

Improves Compliance When you collect the necessary documents early (like tax info, business licenses, etc.), you ensure your business stays compliant with local laws and policies.

Builds Trust A well-structured onboarding process shows vendors that you are serious and professional. This encourages them to deliver better service.

Better Relationships Good onboarding helps vendors feel like a part of your team, not just another supplier. This creates strong and more committed partnerships.

Steps for Effective Vendor Onboarding

Let’s look at the basic steps to onboard a vendor the right way:

1. Collect Basic Information

Get the vendor’s business details like company name, address, bank info, tax documents, and certifications.

2. Review and Approve Documents

Make sure all legal documents are valid. Double-check for errors or missing information.

3. Agree on Terms

Clearly define payment terms, delivery schedules, return policies, and expectations. Put everything in writing.

4. System Setup

Add the vendor to your company’s systems. This includes accounting, inventory, or any platforms you use to manage vendors.

5. Provide Training or Guidance

If your company uses special tools or follows certain procedures, share that information with the vendor. This helps them align with your way of working.

6. Stay in Touch

Even after onboarding, keep the communication open. Regular check-ins can help solve small issues before they turn into big ones.

Tips to Improve Your Vendor Onboarding Process

Use simple forms and checklists

Automate where possible, but keep a human touch

Make the process fast and easy

Be available to answer vendor questions

Ask for feedback to improve the experience

Common Challenges in Vendor Onboarding

Even though vendor onboarding is important, many businesses face challenges during the process. Here are a few common ones — and how to handle them.

1. Incomplete Documentation

Sometimes, vendors may miss out on submitting key documents. This can slow things down.

Tip: Share a clear checklist with all required documents at the beginning. Follow up regularly to make sure nothing is left out.

2. Poor Communication

Lack of communication can lead to confusion, delays, or misunderstandings.

Tip: Set up one main point of contact from your team who handles vendor communication. Also, make sure instructions are simple and clear.

3. Manual Processes

Doing everything manually can take time and lead to human errors.

Tip: Use digital tools or vendor management software. Even a basic spreadsheet system or online form can help keep things organized.

4. One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Not all vendors are the same. Some may need more help or details than others.

Tip: Customize the onboarding process based on the type of vendor, product, or service. A little flexibility goes a long way.

Benefits of a Smooth Vendor Onboarding Process

When you invest time in improving your onboarding, you’ll see benefits across your entire business:

Faster Start Times Vendors can begin work quicker when everything is sorted in advance.

Stronger Vendor Loyalty A good first impression creates a lasting relationship.

Fewer Disputes Clear terms from the start mean fewer disagreements about pricing, payments, or delivery timelines.

Better Quality Control When vendors understand your standards clearly, it leads to better results.

Final Thoughts

Vendor onboarding is not just paperwork — it’s the first step in a business relationship that can grow and benefit both sides. By making the process clear, simple, and respectful, you show your vendors that you value their time and effort.

Remember, the stronger your onboarding process, the stronger your partnerships will be. And in business, strong partnerships often lead to better growth, smoother operations, and long-term success.
