Healthcare Automation Is Revolutionizing Health Care Sector with New Technologies

 

The healthcare industry is increasingly adopting new technologies (such as medical imaging analytics, robotics, Artificial Intelligence) and reaping maximum benefits to reduce operational efficiencies, increase the quality of care, and reduce the cost of care. Healthcare automation helps hospital administrators and healthcare professionals to conduct daily activities and manage patient care more efficiently. For instance, 50% of the U.S. healthcare providers planned to invest in robotic process automation (RPA) in the next three years (2021-23). RPA could help hospitals process information faster, more accurately, and less painfully, and let hospital staff get back to patient care sooner.

Moreover, the global pandemic (COVID-19) has improved automation in the Italian healthcare system. The use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector will revolutionize the quality of patient care. Furthermore, the U.K. planned to invest US$ 330 million to lead the world in healthcare AI. Around 20% of all patient interactions will involve some form of AI within clinical or non-clinical processes and more than one-third of all healthcare workloads will be in the cloud by 2023.

Healthcare automation automates existing procedures, streamlining processes that used to take a significant amount of time and require human intervention. The healthcare industry will see more investment around medical robots, which includes pharmacy dispensing robots, non-invasive radiosurgery robots, rehabilitation robots, surgical robots, etc. It is to be expected that more and more healthcare facilities will adopt automation to lessen the burden of their staff and increase the quality of care.

Healthcare automation helps reduce wait time for patients, save time in collecting/maintaining information, and improves the facilities to adequately care for patients. Moreover, it is expected to accelerate the development of clinical, hospital, and health care processes. The future of the healthcare industry can be defined by the advent of faster, more accurate, and easy-to-use devices that are riding high on the wave of healthcare automation.
