The adoption of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in healthcare has increased in recent years as medical professionals and administrators realize the importance of automating several administrative tasks such as patient scheduling, onboarding, billing, and claims management. RPA allows healthcare providers to improve productivity, profitability, and patient satisfaction and offer better medical care while ensuring compliance.
Use Cases of RPA in Healthcare
RPA in healthcare builds a scalable, secure, and reliable digital workforce that can automate rule-based tasks in high volumes such as reporting, HR administration, and procurement to generate accurate results and avoid errors. Some areas where RPA can be implemented are
Patient Scheduling
Allow patients to quickly schedule appointments without any intervention from employees.
Claim Management
Automate time-intensive tasks like inputting, processing, and evaluating documents for faster and error-free claim processing.
Regulatory Compliance
Comply with the external audit with a digital trail that helps easily track and document each process.
Clinical Documentation
Extract data from paper documents and digitally store them on the cloud to let doctors and patients access them online.
Account Settlement
Accurately calculate the patient’s bill amount and notify them as soon as the bill is generated.
Discharge Instructions
Set discharge instructions and automatically send reminders to patients about their prescription pick-ups, upcoming appointments, etc.
Healthcare Cycle
Generate analytics of data recorded by the bot to improve the delivery of diagnosis and treatment.
Streamline Workflows
Enhance existing workflows with automation to let healthcare workers spend their time on patient care and other critical activities.
