What is Business Process Management (BPM)?
Business Process Management (BPM) is an effective management tool on aligning organizations with the wants and needs/desires of clients. This management approach promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology. This combination of forces with technology yields unexpected returns for the organization. Business process management attempts to improve processes continuously and thus is an ongoing process. It optimizes the process continually in phases. BPM is now considered as the backbone of enterprise content management.
BPM has become a critical part of Healthcare industry worldwide. Without driving an efficient and effective business process management, Healthcare IT Service initiatives would fall apart and ultimately fail. Abstraction of business process from technology infrastructure has been the forte of BPM and thus this process goes beyond automatic business process (software) or solving business problems (suite). BPM gives the organization a definite competitive edge over its adversaries by enabling business to respond to changing consumer, market and regulatory demands much faster.
Business Process Management in Healthcare
Healthcare industry spending in the U.S. is currently at about 16% of the gross domestic product, not only higher than any other major industrialized country, but also projected to continue increasing over the next decade. Expensive new medical technologies, the rising cost of pharmaceuticals, and physician and patient demands for higher quality healthcare all contribute to rising costs, even as the number of uninsured Americans is at an all time high.
Healthcare organizations can improve the quality of the services they offer to their patients by streamlining supporting processes from patient care management to purchasing practices with pharmaceutical and medical suppliers.
