1. RPA in Health Care Industry. •Along with treatment for patients, Healthcare industry across the world carryout several tasks ranging from billing & claims management, patient onboarding, to providing prescriptions. •These tasks were usually managed or monitored manually or with the help of off-the-shelf software. •However, executing and tracking these procedures along with core tasks can be tedious, and error-prone, along with the risk of ensuring compliance for regulations in the industry. •Non-compliance of regulations in Health Industry attracts huge penalties along with dents to reputation of the hospitals as well. •Leveraging RPA in healthcare will present feasible solutions for the problems health care industry is facing. •Appointment Scheduling made simple: RPA bots can schedule patient appointments according to diagnosis, location, doctor availability, and other criteria. This can be achieved by automating patient Data Collection & Processing. These bots have also got the capability of sending appointment notifications to patients. •Faster Settlements: Leveraging RPA for payments can reduce payment delays and inaccuracies. RPA bots can generate the accurate hospital bill amount for patients covering tests, doctor fees, room rent etc, and notifies patients on the same, helping in faster settlements. •Claims Management: Utilising RPA for health insurance claims can speed up data processing, along with zero errors.

Bots can save considerable amount of money for hospitals by automating tedious human tasks. Automating crucial workflows can also improvise the overall efficiency across the board. A major drawback of leveraging RPA in healthcare is that RPA can only process structured data and work with a rule-based approach. However, the advent of intelligent process automation (IPA) can make RPA smarter in the coming days.
