Client or enterprise experience / Healthcare
Prior Authorization Workflow Design Experience
Administrative work and exceptions were being discussed as an automation problem before the review tiers and escalation paths were explicit.
What this is
Client or enterprise experience
My role
I contributed healthcare workflow, product, governance, and transformation experience inside enterprise operating environments.
Why it matters here
It shows why I begin with a measured workflow and exception baseline before assessing whether software, staffing, or AI is the answer.
1. Buyer or operating context
Healthcare operations spanning prior authorization, utilization management, provider-facing work, compliance, technology, and clinical review.
2. Triggering problem
Administrative work and exceptions were being discussed as an automation problem before the review tiers and escalation paths were explicit.
3. What was breaking
Routine handling, exceptions, human review, audit requirements, and payer/provider coordination were intertwined rather than designed as distinct workflow states.
4. Why conventional approaches were insufficient
Adding automation to an undefined workflow would have preserved inconsistent routing and hidden decision rights.
5. My role
I contributed healthcare workflow, product, governance, and transformation experience inside enterprise operating environments.
6. Intervention
The work decomposed the workflow into review tiers, exception paths, escalation, audit requirements, and human decision points before considering machine assistance.
7. Evidence or result
The operating requirements and control boundaries became explicit enough to support a responsible implementation decision, with review tiers and escalation paths defined before machine assistance was considered.
8. Why this matters to a prospective buyer
It shows why I begin with a measured workflow and exception baseline before assessing whether software, staffing, or AI is the answer.
Evidence record
What can be supported publicly.
Limits of this evidence
Employment-period experience, described anonymously. Confidentiality covers the client identity, workflow artifacts, baselines, and post-implementation measures, so I do not publish them. The evidence supports scope and mechanism, not a quantified client outcome.

The Program Recovery Review establishes what is actually wrong with one program, separates symptoms from addressable causes, and gives leadership a 90-day action plan.
