Klivira's Integration with Veradigm for Pain Management Workflows

Klivira integrates seamlessly with Veradigm's modern EHRs, leveraging the Veradigm Developer Program and FHIR R4 APIs for Patient, ServiceRequest, MedicationRequest, and DocumentReference resources. Through SMART App Launch, our platform embeds directly within the Veradigm clinical UI, enabling pain management providers to initiate and manage prior authorizations from within their familiar workflow. This integration facilitates the automated retrieval of necessary clinical documentation from areas like Clinical Documentation / Notes and the write-back of PA status updates to Tasks / Worklists.

Optimizing Documentation for Pain Management PA in Veradigm

Successful prior authorization for pain management procedures within Veradigm EHRs relies on comprehensive documentation. Klivira helps ensure all required elements are captured and presented to payers, including conservative-care trial documentation, imaging confirmation correlating with symptoms, pain severity tracking (VAS, NRS scores), functional limitation documentation, and for spinal cord stimulators, psychological evaluations and trial-phase outcomes, aligning with ASIPP and AAPM guidelines.

Addressing Product Line Nuances: TouchWorks, Professional EHR, and Practice Fusion

The Veradigm portfolio encompasses distinct product lines such as TouchWorks EHR, Professional EHR, and Practice Fusion, each with unique integration surfaces and chart anatomies. Klivira's platform is engineered to navigate these variances, providing consistent prior authorization automation for pain management across different Veradigm deployments. This approach ensures that whether a practice uses TouchWorks EHR or Professional EHR, the PA workflow is optimized and integrated effectively.

Proactive Denial Prevention for Pain Management Procedures

Klivira's intelligent automation applies ASIPP-guideline-aware logic to proactively address common prior authorization denial reasons in pain management. This includes verifying sufficient conservative-care trial documentation, tracking frequency limits for repeat injections, and ensuring robust imaging-symptom correlation, thereby reducing administrative burden and improving approval rates.
