Regulatory and administrative simplification

AzHHA advocates for clear, consistent rules and simple workflows, enabling clinicians to concentrate on patient care. We promote consolidated reporting, standardized definitions and predictable rulemaking with sufficient lead time for implementation.

We support modern licensure and credentialing, electronic prior authorization and documentation with application programming interfaces (APIs) and attachments, and privacy-protective data sharing that works effectively across systems.

We oppose unfunded mandates, conflicting requirements across agencies or plans, retroactive claw-backs and audits that penalize technical errors without offering a way to fix them. The goal is to reduce red tape, minimize surprises and establish policies hospitals can implement without diverting staff from patient care.
