What most people get wrong
Many teams think about AUT or TUE too late, after the clinical decision is already made and the supporting file is weak. The highest-value intervention is earlier: deciding whether a prohibited option is truly necessary and documenting that decision correctly.
- Assess whether a prohibited substance or method may be involved.
- Check whether a permitted alternative may solve the clinical problem.
- Prepare the medical rationale before escalation.
- Reduce avoidable delays and weak submissions.
