Performance management

  • Authorization turnaround
  • Pending authorization aging
  • First-pass completeness
  • Touches per authorization
  • Quality score
  • Turnaround time
  • Clean-order rate

Performance reviews should consider turnaround, accuracy, backlog and documentation trends together.

Technology in the workflow

Workflow tools, document management and AI-assisted classification can reduce administrative effort and improve queue visibility. Teams focus on case completeness, follow-up and exceptions.
