Surescripts and athenahealth announced that their prior‑authorization automation is now live for 200 medications. The feature is built into athenaOne, the cloud‑based EHR used by about 98% of its prescribers. It uses AI to cut manual steps in the approval workflow, so patients can get needed drugs faster.
