    Faxed orders, scanned attachments, and inbox folders shouldn't be the reason prior authorizations are delayed. Yet for many radiology groups, that's still the case. Manual document capture creates friction at the front of the process—forcing staff to rename, sort, and route incoming faxes before a prior auth can even begin. In this episode, we explore how automating document capture accelerates the entire prior authorization workflow. From identifying STAT orders to extracting key order details and triggering auth submissions, we'll walk through how imaging centers are using AI-driven tools to minimize lag, reduce errors, and scale operations without burning out staff. Joining us is Charulata Nevatia, a healthcare product leader with deep experience in workflow automation. She'll share what high-performing radiology groups are doing differently and what steps you can take to modernize intake and boost auth readiness.
