The new solution, Allscripts eAuth, prompts physicians to conduct prior authorization for prescriptions within the electronic prescription workflow, replacing the need and process of manual prior authorization.
Conducting digital prior authorizations for prescriptions may reduce follow-up phone calls, faxes and other manual processes involved with retrospective pre-authorization, according to a news release.
Allscripts eAuth will soon be integrated into every Allscripts EHR platform.
“Electronic prior authorization is a major enhancement that returns coverage decisions instantaneously and dramatically improves efficiency for physicians, while continuing to safeguard patients from treatment that may be harmful, ineffective or more costly than need be,” said Glen Stettin, MD, senior vice president of clinical research and new solutions at Express Scripts.
