Health care continues to lead in automation

Health care continues to lead in automation

Although the manufacturing sector was arguably the first to truly leverage automation as far back as the 1950s, the health care industry has been making some waves with the technology more recently. Largely because of the demands and requirements under modern laws and regulatory compliance, medical firms have been all but forced to get moving with workflow, content management and business process automation deployments as soon as possible. 

Luckily, the automation tools that are available today are among the most seamless, intuitive and efficient in history, meaning that health care firms are provided with a wealth of options that will fit directly alongside their requirements and objectives. In many ways, the health care sector can be viewed as a beacon and exceptional example of what automation can be used to accomplish in the modern market, regardless of which processes might be targeted. 

In the supply chain
Digital Supply Chain recently explained some of the upcoming steps the health care sector is expected to take with respect to further workflow and process automation, affirming that many of the moves will relate directly back to content management. Information governance has always been a critical aspect of running a medical organization, but the mass and rapid digitization of files has completely transformed the rules of engagement in this regard. 

For example, medical firms have to oblige the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act, as well as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, both of which have major requirements related to information safety, access and privacy. According to the news provider, the supply chain will likely be the next frontier for automation, as many firms have already digitized these aspects of the job and integrated the systems into content management platforms. 

Furthermore, the source noted that health care providers might begin to automate accounts payable and receivable processes more frequently in the coming months. 

Takeaways for other industries
Companies that are not under the strict guidelines governing health care can still attain a strategic advantage in their respective markets through the use of supply chain and data management automation. From more efficient use of corporate dollars and resources to enhanced accuracy and timeliness in reporting, automation that works to eliminate data entry from various processes can have profoundly positive impacts on any business, regardless of its industry.
