NR-0 / OPEN
NO

If the computer says no, let the computer say no.

The unit sits between the decisioning system and the customer. It delivers the decision. It takes the reply back.

01 — Exhibit

The person in the middle

A prior authorization comes back no. Someone still has to open the chart, find the voice, and say it. The computer decided in a moment. The person spends the rest of the hour inside the answer.

No Robot sits in front of that system. It delivers the decision to the customer, takes the reply, and sends the reply back. It does not reopen the decision. The person goes back to the work that is not this.
