Automation is the future. In fact, nearly two thirds of hospitals are planning to implement additional automation in the next two years.
Arguably automating a process is the easiest way to increase efficiency. That means improving productivity by prioritizing tasks, enhancing and streamlining workflows to save time and reduce redundancy, and improving quality by reducing chances for error. An added benefit is the ability to manage valuable resources more appropriately.
