RPA in healthcare: paving the way for efficient workflows

The healthcare industry is embracing automation in all areas — from administrative tasks to care-related procedures — and RPA technology definitely plays a part in this transformation. For healthcare providers, robotic process automation brings along many benefits but the core adoption drivers are economic: automation and analytics can help avoid $200–$360 billion of healthcare spending.

In this article, we will go through the details: the workflows that can be handled by RPA bots, the real-life business results they bring, and ways to adopt the technology.

Let RPA bots handle tedious tasks while you focus on what matters most — patients’ health.

Innowise offers a full range of RPA services for healthcare businesses, helping them efficiently automate complex and error-prone clinical workflows. Relying on the practical experience of our senior and middle RPA developers, we have delivered 10+ enterprise-level projects that optimize operations, reduce costs, minimize human errors, and bring ROI fast.

Planning van afspraken

When used for appointment management, RPA bots process patients’ request forms, suggest available time slots with suitable specialists at nearby locations, book online or in-person consultations, and send patient reminders. Also, bots can automatically adjust healthcare professionals’ schedules based on cancellations or reschedules.

Revenue cycle management

Healthcare providers employ RPA for smooth revenue cycle management (RCM) — from patient registration and insurance verification to payment settlement. RPA bots accurately capture all services provided by healthcare professionals, send follow-ups on unpaid bills, track financial data, and generate reports on the RCM flow.

Revenue cycle management

Billing and invoicing

RPA bots extract patient data from medical records, apply the correct billing codes, and populate patient invoice templates with relevant data. By automating billing and invoicing with RPA, healthcare providers ensure that all provided medical services are accurately billed to the right payers without the risks of human errors.

Billing and invoicing

Clinical documentation

Thanks to NLP, RPA solutions for clinical documentation distill valuable medical information from various sources, such as patient surveys, test results, appointment summaries, clinical document scans, and other relevant data. Then, the bots structure and record the information in EHR and other systems in real time.

Clinical documentation

Audit and compliance reporting

RPA bots can interpret the compliance or audit report forms using NLP technology. Then, bots pull key information from financial and clinical documents and IT systems, and create detailed reports. Also, RPA is efficient for cross-checking data accuracy and spotting any discrepancies, making sure final reports are spot on.

Audit and compliance reporting

Beheer van recepten

Instead of spending time filling out prescriptions, healthcare providers can automate the process with RPA. Bots can extract medication details from the EHR, populate prescription forms, and send them to pre-selected pharmacies. RPA bots can also check insurance coverage for prescribed medications and flag potential drug interactions.

Schadebeheer

As claims management is highly standardized, RPA bots can handle the entire process with ease, from claim submission to tracking and reimbursement. The bots fill in claim forms, verify patients’ insurance eligibility, track claim statuses, flag claim issues for review, and submit them to insurers.

Benefits of RPA for healthcare

Adopting RPA brings benefits for all types of healthcare organizations — from larger hospital networks to smaller clinics. When combined with other technologies, like AI and data analytics, RPA opens up even greater possibilities, driving improvements in patient care, operational processes, and decision-making.

Here, we list the most common benefits our healthcare customers experience after implementing RPA for their daily operations.

  • Reduced administrative costs thanks to efficient handling of routine tasks.
  • Minimized data entry errors due to reduced human factors.
  • Growing operational efficiency because RPA bots can work 24/7.
  • Improved clinical outcomes as more time is spent on patient care, not paperwork.
  • Lowered staff burnout thanks to the shift to more value-adding tasks.
  • Betere patiëntervaring thanks to automated patient request resolution.

“At Innowise, we know how important it is for healthcare providers to cut down on repetitive tasks, minimize costly mistakes, and boost efficiency. By implementing RPA into the workflows, we help organizations save time, reduce costs, and alleviate administrative burdens. With deep expertise in healthcare IT, we ensure that RPA works smoothly with your existing systems without compromising security.”

Real-life examples of RPA in healthcare

Singapore General Hospital Singapore General Hospital has implemented RPA for 36 workflows, from collecting patient-reported outcome measures to automating billing for laboratory tests. Over the course of four years, the healthcare organization managed to save 52,500 man-hours and gained over $1.8 million in productivity.
Asan Medical Center Asan Medical Center, a Seoul-based hospital, launched RPA to automate repetitive tasks, streamline operations, and allow medical staff to focus more on critical tasks. In over 3 years, RPA helped save over 10,500 man-hours and over $240,000 in operational costs.
University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust The University Hospitals Plymouth network employed RPA for multiple processes, including medical image uploading, patient survey mailing, and waiting time assessment. As a result, the provider saved around $100,000 and freed up around 4,300 staff hours. Over the next five years, the hospital network is expected to save around $4,000,000
Max Healthcare Max Healthcare hospital network utilized RPA to automate time-consuming processes like claims processing, data entry, and reconciliation for government healthcare schemes. RPA helped reduce the time for claim management by 65%–75% and accelerated turnaround time in the automated processes by 50%.

Summing up: the promise of RPA in healthcare

Proved to be effective in other industries — from BFSI to manufacturing — RPA is about to change healthcare operations as we know them. More and more healthcare organizations hop on the trend and witness tangible benefits: cost savings, lower error rates, growing efficiency, and more.

Whether your organization plans to adopt RPA for a single healthcare workflow or multiple clinical and business operations, contacting a trusted healthcare IT vendor is a good idea. We at Innowise are ready to help you choose the best-fitting RPA platform and seamlessly integrate intelligent bots into your workflows.

RPA in healthcare: FAQ

RPA or robotic process automation means using software bots to automate repetitive tasks like appointment scheduling, patient billing, or clinical data entry. This technology reduces manual work, minimizes errors, and lets healthcare professionals focus on patient care instead.

Using RPA significantly lowers costs for healthcare organizations. Instead of spending man-hours on routine tasks, healthcare providers can hand them over to smart automation bots, working tirelessly around the clock. Thus, businesses avoid delays and costly errors and redistribute the workforce to more strategic tasks.

Surely! To ensure the secure handling of sensitive healthcare data, we recommend choosing an RPA platform that encrypts data both in transit and at rest, applies proper access control measures, complies with data privacy regulations, and invests in regular security audits and updates. Then, we suggest configuring the platform according to your organization’s security requirements and designing RPA bots with data safety in mind.
