QI Toolkit: Track PA outcomes and time to medication access
Use GreenlightPA to support a simple Quality Improvement project. Track cases with and without the app, measure approval rates and time-to-treatment, and optionally share de-identified results to help improve the tools.
No PHI rule
Do not enter names, MRNs, DOBs, phone numbers, addresses, or other identifiers. Use a private local_patient_key
(e.g., PN-014) that only you can map locally.
Suggested sample sizes
- Pilot: 10 with app + 10 without
- Standard: 20 with + 20 without
- Strong: 30 with + 30 without
Tip: for clean results, choose one primary drug + indication + insurer for your main analysis.

- Download the CSV template (or use your own spreadsheet with the same headers).
- Track consecutive cases: some with the app and some without.
- Update the row when you learn: insurer decision, and when the patient actually received medication.
- Summarize results (approval rate, % received within 30 days, median days to decision/receipt).
