Medications frequently require prior authorization from payers before filling is authorized. Obtaining prior authorization can create delays in filling prescriptions and ultimately reduce patient adherence to medication. Electronic prior authorization (ePA), embedded in the electronic health record (EHR), could remove some barriers but has not been rigorously evaluated. We sought to evaluate the impact of implementing an ePA system on prescription filling.

大型医疗保健系统电子病历系统实施电子事前授权对药品填写的影响

在授权填充之前，药物经常需要付款人的事先授权。获得事先授权可能会延迟开具处方并最终降低患者对药物的依从性。嵌入电子健康记录 (EHR) 中的电子事先授权 (ePA) 可以消除一些障碍，但尚未经过严格评估。我们试图评估实施 ePA 系统对处方配药的影响。
