RPA in Healthcare: The Areas for Automation

November 11, 2021

Care providers and payers are shackled by a myriad of processes and accompanying documents to authorize, deliver, and record healthcare services. From patient health records to care provider information and payment data, the web of processes involved in care delivery and reimbursements quickly breach human interest, resulting in monotonous work for the people involved. Healthcare automation can eliminate the time spent by personnel working on time-intensive, low-value, and rule-based tasks. In this white paper, we explore the nature of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and the key areas for care providers and payer organizations to focus on to leverage the power of RPA.

In the decade since the HITECH Act was passed, first-generation electronic health record systems provided a foundation for innovations such as electronic prescribing, clinical decision support and predictive analytics. While usability and productivity issues with EHRs have been well documented, there are significant untapped opportunities to optimize the EHR and health IT. In this whitepaper, PatientKeeper outlines a vision for the future of health IT through the next decade, which includes New data-driven approaches that leverage the clinical information being captured by the EHR to improve patient outcomes and reduce physician burnout, Optimized communication between physicians, nurses and ancillary staff to produce better patient outcomes as efficiencies improve, Better interoperability to improve care coordination and inspire opportunities for ideas like telemedicine to alleviate physician shortages
