Yachamaneni, Siva Sai Kumar (2025) Impact of quality engineering and automation on the healthcare industry. World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 15 (1). pp. 1951-1958. ISSN 2582-8266

The healthcare industry is experiencing a transformative shift through the implementation of Quality Engineering (QE) practices and automation technologies. This comprehensive article explores how these technological approaches are addressing critical challenges in healthcare delivery and research. It examines multiple dimensions of impact, including enhanced patient care and safety through automated monitoring and medication systems, streamlined administrative processes that reduce operational burdens, significant cost reductions and efficiency improvements across various healthcare functions, strengthened regulatory compliance and risk management capabilities, expanded access to care through telemedicine and remote monitoring solutions, and accelerated healthcare research through advanced data analysis capabilities. By integrating evidence from diverse healthcare settings and research studies, this article demonstrates that QE and automation are not merely technological additions to healthcare systems but represent a fundamental paradigm shift in how healthcare is delivered, managed, and advanced. The article suggests that the continued evolution of these technologies will play an increasingly vital role in creating more efficient, accessible, and patient-centered healthcare systems worldwide.
