An important part of patient healthcare is to ensure continuous supply of prescribed medications. Patients or caregivers submit medication refill requests to healthcare organizations for getting a new batch of prescribed medicines. The approval workflow for medication refill requests involves steps like request submission, patient info verification, and healthcare provider or pharmacist approvals. The efficacy of the treatment plan depends largely on prompt refill of medication. Moreover, patient wait times are reduced and uninterrupted patient care is delivered with a streamlined medication refill request approval process. 

However, healthcare professionals that rely on manual methods of medication refill management need to handle excessive paperwork, multiple approval rounds, and coordination between departments. Not just that, manual methods are prone to errors, delays, reduced patient satisfaction, and compromised patient care. 

Streamlining the medication refill request workflow can overcome all the challenges in manual methods and also ensure timely and accurate approval of refill requests. An automated workflow is capable of creating and routing refill requests accurately, and also verified patient information quickly for timely approvals. Coordination between multiple departments for approving the request is also improved by automation.
