An attempt to minimize the need for human labour throughout the development of goods and services, with the use of control systems and information technology is known as Automation. To be one of their top two financial priorities, three out of four CEOs of healthcare organizations cite total cost savings and quality. Automation of manual tasks may be an important aspect of a value management plan, with the healthcare sector constantly striving to minimize costs and waste and enhance productivity and throughput. Every day in our lives, automation often surrounds us, including automated teller machines (ATMs), Redbox DVD rentals, self-checkout at the grocery store, mobile phone controlled thermostats, auto park assistance in vehicles, and many other technology-managed everyday tasks. Healthcare has lagged behind in the use of technology, amid its use for years in banking, retail, and other sectors. Recent pressure from healthcare reform and increased competition has led to increased interest in cutting costs and eliminating waste in the provision of healthcare. And that has put to the spotlight the prominence in the usage of automation.

Here are 5 big advantages realized with the application of automation in the healthcare sector:

1. Savings in Labour
It can be a major time-saver to use automation to manually replace intensive tasks best handled by the system. It does not need to replace personnel, but rather to promote them to higher-functioning positions that make use of the clinical skills with which they have been qualified.

2. Efficiency and accuracy improved
Automation systems are not prone to fatigue or human error, so they can help provide a consistent basis for treatment operations. A research showed that greater automation tends to result in a decrease in deaths, complications, and costs in the fields of patient records, order entry, and decision support.

3. Lessened Wastage
A lot of waste will result from the use of paper and spreadsheets and other workarounds necessary for an overall workload. For starters, technology will help connect nurses and patients more easily instead of playing phone tag with a discharged patient in the free minutes between hospital nursing duties.

4. Increased Outcome Predictability
When patients follow a systematic automation-supported treatment path, they are more likely to be on track with expected results. Furthermore, technology can help identify whether a patient has deviated from the prescribed treatment plan in order to intervene with the care team.

5. Insights that are Data-Driven
In a continuous feedback loop that can be used for performance enhancement and optimization, technologies used to automate processes can also provide a wealth of data. Automation systems may gather input on how the system operates and use the knowledge to improve the software for each cycle. This reinforces itself over time, being much more reliable, more detailed, and more useful for the workload of the team.
