Intelligent automation is revolutionizing the healthcare industry by providing more efficient, cost-effective, and higher-quality services. Automated systems can process data faster, more accurately, and at a larger scale than manual methods, allowing for improved decision-making and faster diagnosis. Automated systems can also be used to streamline administrative processes, such as billing and scheduling, reducing the amount of time spent on paperwork. There were the reasons why Alberta Health Services started the Intelligent Automation program, a program that is now a central initiative for the organization connecting business units and IT creating a true automation-centric company. Learn more about this experience, the good, bad, and ugly, with Jesse Tutt, the automation program leader at Alberta Health Services.

80% of the information we exchange daily is unstructured, which raises significant barriers to the deployment of automation since bots cannot use or parse unstructured data. With the maturity of RPA initiative, the interest in Intelligent Document Processing has spiked since IDP enables organizations to digitize and automate unstructured data from various documentation sources. In our XMAS special episode, we invited a world expert on IDP, Prakash Narayanan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rcnprakash/) from Cyient, to join Automation Notes and share a quick start guide under 30 min, on how an organization can start with Intelligent Document Processing.

Business units are frustrated at how long it takes IT to complete any automation implementation, and IT is frustrated by the need for more understanding of the already limited resources to keep the technology that runs the business operating. This friction is common in many companies and leads to businesses leveraging “shadow IT” — external technology support — or, worse, a status quo limiting the continued improvement and increased business agility. In this episode, we discuss this automation battleground between business and IT with Lasse Rindom from Zenzorganic and Devin Gharibian-Saki from Redwood in a 45 min roundtable.

By 2025, organizations will build 70% of their new applications using low-code or no-code platforms. (This is up from less than 25% in 2020.) In this episode, we will discuss with Graham Lee, from Argo Labs, how low-code may bring significant advantages to automation projects and how Argo Labs is making available a low-code-based platform that takes 10 minutes to setup and 90 minutes to learn.

Even without quantitative proof from studies like the one above, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence across industries that suggests enterprises are struggling with RPA management.  Constant break-fix cycles that require bots to be pulled out of production bring on massive maintenance costs that keep them from delivering on expected ROI.  Ultimately these break-fix cycles inhibit the broader business objectives that RPA was meant to drive, like reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and improving process quality. In this episode, we will discuss with Eric Hochstein, from ChoiceWork the impacts of poor RPA ops, whys this problem is growing, and the best approaches to streamline RPA ops and maintenance.

Intelligent Automation has a high failure rate, and unfortunately, some organizations give up as the first few attempts prove to have limited value or simply fail. According to a study from E&Y, between 30 to 50% of RPA projects fail. In this episode, we will discuss with Olivier Gomez, from Intelligent Automation Company the root causes of such failures and how to mitigate risk in deploying and scaling Intelligent Automation. We will discuss the best practice for choosing the best Intelligent Automation integrator and what are the most suitable engagement models for mitigating implementation risks. Oliver will share lessons learned and success stories of +20 years of experience successfully deploying Intelligent Automation projects and we will know more about IAC's outcome as a service engagement model where customer pay based on outcome.
