Most don’t. I’ve seen attempts to use RPA when healthcare companies shift over to cloud based ERP platforms.

If your talking lean or six sigma, then likely folks applying those techniques too mad production areas like, lab, pharmacy, or, clinic but take the Industrial Engineering techniques for high mix low volume and look at inpatient intervention and specialty outpatient to gamify the reimbursement mix through aco

Industrial engineering. Already happening at the large academic centers.

Yes - lean and six sigma are IE 'light'. I've done process improvement work in that arena, even teaching lean to nurses and doctors. Most practical applications have been in the up front design of new clinical workspaces. Mayo's surgical suite layout is a great example of this - mayo in general. They have a large team of IEs.

I meant actual IE work that includes more mathematical modeling, computational methods, wiring theory, etc.

In application, I've worked on things like predictive analytics and optimization of surgery schedules. Better patient scheduling to reduce wait times while still fully utilizing most expensive resources. Prediction of delays for patients in downstream clinics (patient needs to go get scans and blood work before coming to another clinic).

Will be interesting to see if RPA and AI become more than buzz words in healthcare. I have had a couple of companies hit me up about RPA/AI related roles in healthcare. I am wondering if I should focus my energy on learning the stuff on a deeper level!

@OP - How's KP? Are you in CA? Covid effects?

Oddly, I have never worked on a KP project. I have had plenty of consulting interviews but the rate has always been low. My target exit is KP or Blue of CA...

Transformative change will be forced upon life sciences and healthcare companies.

That change will be necessary to meet the challenges posed by new entrants and customer expectations.

How do the economics of this city work?

I make ~150K & get 8K per month net.

Assuming I have 3K rent + 1K for (car + insurance) + 1K for (grocery + utilities + misc expenses), I’m left with 3K/month saving which is 36K/yr.

If I decide to buy a 1M house/townhouse/apartment, I’ll need to put down 200K deposit which will take ~5-6 years - IS THIS NORMAL?

Feeling de-motivated as a consultant in healthcare. Doesn’t feel like a lot of the work I do actually helps patients or make anyone’s life better, which was the whole draw when I started 5+ years ago. I also sometimes feel stifled bc healthcare doesn’t have the $ and growth opps that I see my peers that work in other industries. Anyone ever feel this way?
