A robotic process automation (RPA) programme implemented by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHFT) at its two hospitals in West Yorkshire is seeing some significant time and cost savings.<\/p>\n
The programme, jointly pioneered with The Health Informatics Service (THIS), which CHFT hosts, is harnessing digital workhorses \u2013 bots \u2013 to carry out computer-based processes they have been programmed to do, working just like a human would, but 24\/7 every day of the year and without human error.<\/p>\n
It has been described as \u2018taking the robot out of the human\u2019 to alleviate the mundane workloads of small, time-poor teams, making more time for clinicians to concentrate on patient care.<\/p>\n
The bots, five in total, are equipped with \u2018intelligent automation\u2019, or cognitive automation, the concept of which is to emulate the way people use digital systems, the decisions they make and the processes they follow.<\/p>\n
Such is the benefit of RPA at CHFT, it has commissioned a white paper chronicling its RPA journey, with detailed benefits and further examples of where it has been put to productive use, examples of cost savings, and advice on how to communicate and implement the technology successfully.\u00a0\u00a0Read On:<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A robotic process automation (RPA) programme implemented by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHFT) at its two hospitals in West Yorkshire is seeing some significant time and cost savings.
