The Role of Electronic Prior Authorization Platforms in Streamlining Medication Access and Improving Patient Outcome

Abstract The growing intricacy of healthcare has rendered prior authorization a pivotal concern for healthcare providers, insurers, politicians, and patients. Initially intended to verify the medical necessity of services and regulate expenses, the prior authorization process has transformed into a considerable administrative
encumbrance, especially in drug management. This study looks at how Electronic Prior Authorization (ePA) systems can improve the prior authorization process, making it easier for people to get medicines and improving patient outcomes. By connecting electronic prior authorization (ePA) systems to electronic health records (EHRs), healthcare professionals can speed up the processing of prior authorizations, cutting down on the delays and wasted time that come with using the old way of doing things. This document looks at the expected progress in electronic Prior Authorization (ePA), which includes better
data security, more interoperability, and a design approach that puts the user first. Moreover, it underscores the significance of legislative frameworks in facilitating the deployment of ePA technologies. This research highlights the capacity of ePA systems to reduce the administrative load on healthcare providers, enhance patient care coordination, and guarantee prompt access to essential medications, thus fostering improved health outcomes and economic sustainability in healthcare delivery.
