Authority Assistant

Authority paperwork

Prepares the authority, the approval and the pre-approval a prescription or a procedure needs. A clinician signs.

What Authority Assistant does

Prepares PBS authority applications, DVA prior approvals and private health fund pre-approvals from a clinician’s decision.
Lists each criterion beside the record it rests on, and names any criterion the record does not support.
Keeps the history — what was approved, when, for how long, and when it lapses — beside the new application.
Puts the finished paperwork in a worklist for a credentialled person to submit.

Guardrails

Submit an application. A credentialled person submits under their own login.
Assert that a clinical criterion is met. A clinician decides that.
Choose the medicine or the item. It is handed a decision and prepares its paperwork.
Contact a patient.

Who it helps

The GP who spends an hour a week on hold. The hospital pharmacist preparing authority scripts for discharge. The private hospital admissions clerk chasing fund approvals. The practice manager who sees the rejections.
