    • Manual, inconsistent processes that rely on shared credentials and weak audit trails—making it difficult to secure medical payment processing and protect PHI
    • Legacy RPA tools that were never designed to handle high-volume, regulated healthcare data securely
    • Fragmented financial and clinical systems that complicate efforts to keep hospital revenue data safe, increasing the likelihood of costly breaches
