The age we live in is incredible.
The title of this blog post is not far off from the truth.
My company is currently working on automations that can completely take over tasks for healthcare practices that currently require full-time employees (FTE).
The automations are becoming easier and easier too. Things can even be automated by noobs like me.
As I bring automation ideas with prospects, it’s amazing to hear the doubt in their words. They either don’t believe it’s possible or they don’t trust in how it will be done. People want control, the more you take away, the more they try to hold on. It seems the only way to get people to understand how it will help is to talk about the money.
We took a project to automate a task for a large Ophthalmology group in Texas that was taking 4 FTE’s 8 days a month to complete. We trained a robot to do the same task in 8 minutes.
The cost saving is out of this world. So much that we give guaranteed ROI returns to our customers. If it doesn’t give them a return in a year, we give them their money back.
This is so obviously the way the world is going. Automating tasks and training bots to do tasks for humans but some people still don’t want to believe it. To the people who are scared of it taking away their job, you should be. But remember what a robot can do and what it will never do.
A robot will never be able to take on the human interaction and conversation of another human. Especially in the healthcare world this is important. In my company, we look for ways to automate task that can be automated so that the doctors and staff at the practices can spend their time doing the things that only they can do – meaningful human interaction.
The world is going to be taken over by robots, I have no doubt, but why does everyone think it’s a bad thing? There will always be things that a robot can never do.
