Klivira Streamlines Veradigm (Allscripts) Prior Authorization Automation

Klivira integrates directly with Veradigm (formerly Allscripts) EHRs to deliver advanced prior authorization automation, optimizing workflows for practices leveraging TouchWorks, Professional EHR, and Sunrise.

Revenue cycle leaders and prior authorization coordinators at organizations using Veradigm (Allscripts) face increasing pressure to accelerate PA turnaround times and reduce administrative burden. Klivira provides a robust solution, connecting seamlessly with your Veradigm environment to automate critical steps in the prior authorization process, from submission to status tracking.

Navigating the Veradigm (Allscripts) EHR Ecosystem for PA Efficiency

The Veradigm portfolio includes diverse EHR platforms such as TouchWorks EHR for larger physician groups, Professional EHR for smaller practices, and Sunrise for hospital and inpatient settings. Klivira's integration strategy accounts for these distinctions, providing tailored automation that understands the unique workflows and data structures across your Veradigm footprint, including Practice Fusion and the patient engagement platform, FollowMyHealth.

Comprehensive Integration with Veradigm's Developer Program

  • Leveraging the Veradigm Developer Program (veradigm-developer) for secure, programmatic access to clinical and administrative data.
  • Utilizing FHIR R4 APIs (us-core) for US Core resources, including Patient, Encounter, Coverage, ServiceRequest, and MedicationRequest, across modern Veradigm product lines.
  • Supporting SMART App Launch (smart-app-launch) for contextual workflows initiated directly from the Veradigm clinical UI, enhancing user experience and data flow.
  • Integrating with the Veradigm Unity API for broader data access, complementing FHIR capabilities where legacy systems or specific data needs require it.
  • Accommodating HL7 v2 interfaces, especially for Sunrise (hospital) deployments and certain TouchWorks/Professional EHR implementations, for ADT, ORM/ORU, and MDM messages.

Automating Prior Authorization Submission and Status Updates

Klivira automates the assembly and submission of prior authorization requests by extracting necessary clinical documentation and order details directly from your Veradigm EHR. We manage the diverse submission channels, including X12 278, payer portals, and ePA platforms. For critical status updates and documentation, Klivira supports write-back capabilities, depositing relevant PA packets into the Patient Chart or Clinical Documentation sections of your Veradigm system via DocumentReference and updating workflow tasks.
