Problem Statement

When a Notice of Admission is submitted, the payer returns a 278N response, and the admission isn't finalized until that auth/cert status is recorded in the EMR. Done manually, this closing step is easy to defer while staff move on to the next admission, leaving accounts sitting with a returned-but-unrecorded status.

Automation Solution

This automation automates the auth/cert status update required to finalize admissions after the 278N transaction processes the Notice of Admission.
