  • Description: In 2018, the finance department of the Mass General Brigham hospital system in Boston was facing a worsening bottleneck in keeping track of the providers in its network. Front-line employees needed to gather up-to-date information on an increasing number of health care providers, but the process was slow and inefficient, requiring three separate hospital administrators to manually collect, aggregate, and export data through a mind-numbing series of clicks. The scorecards work similarly at each hospital system: A business team identifies a process that seems like a good candidate for automation, fills out the scorecard summarizing the costs and benefits, and sends it to a steering committee of executives for approval. 2 At Mass General Brigham, business team members responsible for managing complex processes, in partnership with the intelligent automation team responsible for the technology, fill out the scorecard and rate tasks on a scale of 1 to 5, based on 11 factors, to determine their suitability for automation and the level of effort that would be required.
