Business process automation in healthcare:
Why you should invest today

The future of business process automation in healthcare

Today, more and more organisations are investing in automation, with the aim of gaining a competitive edge in the industry and delivering higher quality customer service.


With the vast number of benefits business process automation ensures, it’s no surprise that this change can be witnessed in more than one industry—from transport and tourism, and financial services to retail, manufacturing and, of course, healthcare.


Business process automation in healthcare, in particular, has the potential to automate virtually any repetitive and manual task including procedures like diagnostic activities to administrative tasks like patient data handling.

What does business process automation in healthcare look like

Automation and artificial intelligence solutions in healthcare not only improve operations by streamlining workflows and optimising resources but also reduce clinician burnout, especially during times of crisis.

Moving forward, some of the trends that will arise and gather prominence in the coming years are:

Smart analytics

From clinical checkups to health diagnoses, patient data management requires precision and accuracy of the highest level.

The use of smart analytics through intelligent process automation in healthcare enables easy data management and analysis, ensuring greater diagnostic precision, and a high level of patient satisfaction.

The health cloud

A health cloud or a healthcare cloud is software that allows healthcare professionals to store, maintain, and backup the personal health information of patients. It also can store more data than an on-site physical server and makes it easier to organise and access all data—simplifying processes like automated clinical decision support.

Automated telehealth services

Automating essential telehealth tools such as telediagnosis, direct messaging, remote monitoring, and administrative tasks significantly optimise your services. This facilitates the delegation of tedious and time-consuming tasks to AI-enabled technology and focuses more on providing cohesive patient care.

Robotic Process Automation

The rise of RPA is expected to automate hospital workflows, cut down inefficiencies, and increase productivity institution-wide. This will allow practitioners to automate a wide range of activities like paper records, appointment scheduling, bill processing, and claims processing—streamlining administrative processes.

Automated patient communication

Quicker and smarter interactions are improving the patient experience with an accelerated response rate. Chatbots, for example, can answer patient questions and schedule appointments. With natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, AI can conduct surveys and analyse responses to gather accurate patient information.

Internet of Things

Wearable medical devices and smart thermometers are some of the ways that providers are improving the delivery of healthcare outside of a clinic or hospital. By pairing IoT with automation, medical practitioners can use automation to gather patient data, come to accurate diagnoses, and provide more sophisticated care.
