New framework prioritizes healthcare RPA opportunities using data-driven approach

Researchers have developed a data-driven framework to improve the selection and prioritization of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) initiatives in healthcare. This four-module system aims to address the underperformance of many RPA projects by providing a repeatable method for cataloging potential processes, prioritizing them using an Analytic Hierarchy Process, selecting the appropriate technology tier (from Python bots to enterprise platforms like UiPath), and forecasting financial returns. When applied to a synthetic portfolio of 20 hospital processes, the framework identified 12 suitable candidates and demonstrated robust prioritization, with a budget-constrained optimization showing diminishing marginal net present value as investment increased.

IMPACT This framework could lead to more efficient and cost-effective implementation of automation in healthcare, potentially freeing up resources for patient care.

    A Data-Driven Framework for Identifying and Prioritizing RPA Opportunities in Healthcare Processes

    Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is widely used to reduce administrative burden in United States hospitals, yet an estimated 30-50% of RPA initiatives underperform because processes are selected informally, without a repeatable method to catalogue candidates, prioritize them, mat…
