The Challenge

Prior authorization and referral workflows in healthcare are complex because they rely on data spread across multiple systems. Patient records live in EHRs, authorization details sit in revenue cycle platforms, payer rules are housed in external portals, and care coordination happens in separate tools.

Teams are responsible for reviewing documentation, interpreting payer requirements, and making decisions with incomplete context. This slows down approvals, increases the likelihood of denials, and adds administrative overhead across clinical and operational teams.

Delays in authorization directly impact treatment timelines. Incomplete submissions lead to rework. Manual routing of cases creates bottlenecks. Even when organizations have visibility into these issues, the process still depends on human coordination across systems.


The Syntes AI Solution

Syntes AI provides a unified layer that connects clinical, administrative, and payer data into a single, continuously updated context.

At the core of the platform is a live knowledge graph that links patient records, authorization history, payer policies, and referral data. This creates a shared foundation where all relevant information is connected and accessible in real time.

On top of this foundation, AI agents operate across workflows. These agents analyze data in context, apply policy logic, and support decision-making throughout the authorization process.

The system continuously evaluates each case, surfaces gaps in documentation, and supports next steps based on historical patterns and payer-specific behavior.


How It Works

Unified Context Across Systems
Data from EHRs, payer systems, and operational tools is connected into a single model that reflects the full state of each authorization case.

Continuous Operational Memory
Historical approvals, denials, and reviewer actions are retained and used to inform future decisions. The system improves accuracy over time as more cases are processed.

Workflow Execution with AI Agents
Agents support the authorization process by:

Reviewing submissions for missing or inconsistent documentation
Assessing denial risk based on payer patterns
Recommending corrective actions before submission
Routing cases to appropriate reviewers based on complexity
Coordinating updates across connected systems

Each step is supported by the full context of the case and aligned with defined policies.


Key Capabilities

  • Context Graph for Authorization Workflows
    Connects patient data, payer requirements, and historical outcomes into a unified structure.
  • Policy-Aligned Decision Support
    Applies payer rules and internal guidelines consistently across cases.
  • Pre-Submission Evaluation
    Assesses completeness and likelihood of approval before cases are submitted.
  • Dynamic Case Routing
    Directs cases to the right reviewers based on risk, complexity, and workload.
  • Human Oversight
    Supports escalation and review for complex or sensitive cases.
  • Audit and Traceability
    Maintains a complete record of decisions, actions, and data sources.

The Outcome

Healthcare organizations gain a more coordinated and efficient authorization process.

Authorization timelines are shortened
Denial rates decrease through improved submission quality
Administrative effort is reduced across teams
Care coordination becomes more consistent
Compliance requirements are supported through clear audit trails

The result is a process where decisions are informed by complete context and supported by systems that can coordinate actions across the workflow.
