While it was designed to control healthcare costs and encourage appropriate care, prior authorization often becomes a bottleneck, delaying treatment and frustrating both providers and patients. Electronic Prior Authorization (ePA) has been introduced as a solution to reduce paperwork, speed up approvals, and bring efficiency into the process. However, the full benefits
Can Hospitals Safely Share Emergency Room Wait Times with Patients?
