Automation Business Case

We’ve compiled information that will assist in developing your business case. Consideration must be given to each product workflow, be it cost-saving, timesaving, increased robustness, quicker processing, freeing staff for other tasks, or removing errors. If the focus is purely financial, the cost of time (clinical and/or administrative) allocated to running the workflow must be factored in, along with the additional tasks that can be performed if time is saved.

Approach:

  • Responsibility: Identify who oversees completing each task.
  • Time Consumption: Calculate daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly time spent.
  • Costing: Determine actual cost, including salary plus 30% National Insurance/Uplift.
  • Alternative Tasks: Consider what else could be done if these tasks were minimised.
  • Recruitment Challenges: Evaluate the challenges in staffing & training.
