Healthcare Intelligent Process Automation (IPA): A Guide for Providers
Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) in healthcare uses advanced automation–like AI and machine learning–alongside traditional tools to streamline complex workflows. Unlike earlier automation (e.g., basic RPA bots that follow fixed rules), IPA adapts and learns from data, enabling it to handle non-routine tasks and make context-aware decisions. By combining RPA with AI, analytics, and other technologies,…
