A simple example of a small company BPM solution, is a doctor’s office that averages 1-3 million a year in revenue. A company of this size usually has one mid-sized multi-drive single/multi processor-server, with tape back-up, and 10 - 12 desk-top machines. Windows is often the OS of choice, running billing and payroll software packages. Despite its small size, a doctor’s office can realize significant benefits from Business Process Management. For a doctor, this means fewer people to run his office, more standardized and automated processes, single data entry, digitized forms, better HIPAA (health insurance portability and accountability act) compliance, fluid interaction with other offices/organizations and improved client information availability. A business like this would be overwhelmed with a large EAI-Workflow BPM architecture, but can benefit greatly from a simple Workflow solution. A BPM solution for a small business therefore might look something like this illustration. Client provisioning, Scheduling, and Patient Create and Information Mangement might be the extent of the Workflow, but the return on such an investment would run in the tens of thousands a year. The decreases in liability alone would make such a project worth considering.
