Business Process Management in Healthcare

1. Process Mapping – Healthcare processes are complex and critical and requires a smooth flow of information. BPM technology can simplify these processes by streamlining each associated activity. The processes can be handled more quickly and monitored at every step, to make it easier to track and prioritize activities.
2. Big Data – Big data refers to the massive amount of data now available to businesses through the proliferation of the Internet. It is defined in terms of volume, velocity and variety. Thanks to electronic health records, a rapidly growing amount of healthcare information is now available and shareable. BPM technology allows organizations to manage their data and improve the way it is utilized.
3. Software Applications – BPM can help fill in the gaps that occur when multiple software applications are used in performing routine healthcare processes. It forges links that capture information not covered by existing applications, and provides information more quickly to expedite patient care. BPM also bridges gaps from manual functions, such as face-to-face or email patient interactions that can raise costs and place an organization at risk of non-compliance.

The healthcare industry has not historically been recognized for its consistency, which has led to tremendous waste and lower levels of patient care. When BPM is at the core  of a healthcare organization’s approach to business, it allows people, systems and information  to interact with greater consistency. BPM can fundamentally change the way the business of  healthcare is accomplished, with less waste, cost savings, streamlined processes, increased compliance and better patient care.
