Postpartum Psychiatric Prior-Authorization Audit Agent with Claude Agents SDK

Reproductive psychiatry treatments involve complex liability and strict authorization rules. Construct a safe clinical reviewer agent using Claude Agents SDK to audit prior-authorization requests against clinical guidelines and risk markers. Achieve 100% audit trail completeness and zero unhandled adverse contraindications.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates prior-authorization decision accuracy and audit trail compliance.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

audit_completeness

Requires non-empty audit trail array for compliance.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

contraindication_detection_rate

Accuracy in detecting critical clinical drug contraindications • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Build extended-thinking clinical safety reviewers using Claude Agents SDK

  • Implement prior-authorization rule checks for high-risk psychiatric drug approvals

  • Verify contraindication flags against maternal health safety databases

  • Enforce deterministic clinical logging for regulatory and liability compliance
