Why automate?

Post treatment patients may require wheelchairs or home hospital beds, or oxygen tanks for continuing care at home. For acquiring these durable medical equipment, you need prio approval from medical personnel. Granting permission for the use of durable medical equipment is based on insurance coverage terms and supporting documentation like prescriptions and medical reports.
