The Automator | August 2022 | Vol. 25
CampTek Software
Intelligent Automation SaaS Provider | Intelligent Automation. Support You Can Trust.
Our very own?Chief Technology Officer of CampTek?Software, Peter Camp?joined?Senior Director of Revenue Cycle Transformation at Cleveland Clinic, Bob Gross?and?Co-founder heading strategy for Founda, Jeroen Netten for?a webinar?on?FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources)?and the ability to transform healthcare organizations through the implementation of intelligent, scalable automations. ?
The advanced capabilities that FHIR offers can change the way healthcare enhances interoperability of systems and builds on the next generation of Intelligent Automations. Both?Founda?and?CampTek?are exploring potential solutions that incorporate both scalability and security. ?
The discussion focused on the need for this technology throughout healthcare and the Cleveland Clinic. In?addition,?there was conversation on how the use of FHIR can enhance the capabilities of attended automation.?The use case around providing Notice of Admission documentation from payers?came to?the forefront as there is a lot of data needed in many places in an EMR.??Currently,?teams of people?have?to manually collect this data and it was agreed that using a Bot to do this was not efficient at scale.???
To summarize, the session was really beneficial, and the group will be collaborating further as the implementation and rollout of this standard becomes more pervasive.?There will be other follow-on webinars in the future, please let us know if you would like to be invited!
We're personalizing the chatbot experience!
If you find yourself screaming to "speak to a person!" then this initiative is right for you. Chatbots are obvious to spot but when we added RPA to the equation, the bot became more personable with client/patient details, names, etc. Of course, in some way you'll have to confirm your identity before we bring those details to the chat but once the bot confirms it's you, you're off and running with a user-friendly experience that allows you the flexibility to get your information or task complete without having to call.?
RPA as a Service is Not New or Unique
Is an RPA platform or is a Partner most important when starting or continuing your automation journey??
This is a question we are often asked, and the answer isn’t always clear.?As RPA started to take off in 2016/2017 the focus was on enterprise RPA vendors, e.g.?UiPath,?Automation Anywhere,?Blue Prism?and others. They all made promises that the technology would just work with little-to-no guidance or support, that they had a very clear and immediate ROI and the solutions would be built resiliently. Large ISP’s treated RPA similar to the way they implemented other enterprise technologies: throw resources at the problem with either too much strategy or not enough.?I’ve read a statistic out there that says close to?50% of RPA projects fail.?You can appreciate why this is the experience of too many. Often times, reasons that automations aren’t successful is because: a) there is not enough definition around the overall need and/or b) there is a lack of understanding of how to identify, create, and continue discovering more processes to automate.??As I have shared before, the main reason I started CampTek Software, was because there is an obvious need for “support.” The bots need to be supported for their entire life cycle, from the analysis/discovery phase, development, testing/acceptance, and through production/hyper care, and legacy support.???
Lately there has been a lot of talk about RPA Managed Services or Automation as a Service etc. as the “next step” in the lifecycle of RPA. The truth is anyone who understands the technology and has successfully built a longstanding automation program has either created an internal managed services or has relied on an external managed service provider like?CampTek Software?to help them with managing technical debt, minimizing costs and providing a reliable backbone to automate their enterprise.?I started this business close to five years ago as I understood the capabilities of these RPA platforms, as well as their limitations, but also recognized the opportunity to provide value-added support services to ensure that the bots created are given the long-care they need.???
While it’s exciting to hear that even the?RPA software vendors are understanding the need to provide a managed service component?for their technology, the truth of the matter is that there are RPA service providers/partners have long-been successful in providing a managed service component since the beginning, because, truthfully, that was what has always been needed. You can’t build a bot and not have the structure, and tools in place to support it.?
Bottom Line: Companies are?now?jumping on to the latest trend, who should you trust your?mission critical?bots to??
