How Much Time Could You Save with Intelligent Document Processing?

Doctor and Patient Discussing Healthcare in a Clinic

In healthcare, time isn’t just money – it’s momentum.

Every hour spent moving documents, entering data, or chasing missing information is an hour that could be spent on patient care, problem-solving, or innovation. But manual document handling still dominates healthcare workflows – even in organizations that have otherwise gone digital.

That’s the quiet cost of inefficiency: time slipping away in five-minute tasks that repeat hundreds of times a day.

The Documo IDP ROI Calculator was built to make that cost visible – and to show just how much time healthcare teams can reclaim through Intelligent Document Processing (IDP).

The hidden drain of manual document work

If your team handles incoming faxes, forms, or patient records manually, you already know how repetitive it gets. A single document might pass through multiple hands for sorting, data entry, verification, and filing.

Five minutes here. Ten minutes there.

Multiply that by hundreds or thousands of documents per week, and suddenly you’re looking at hundreds of staff hours spent just moving data from one place to another.

These aren’t inefficiencies caused by lack of effort – they’re the byproduct of systems that weren’t built to handle the modern volume of information healthcare organizations manage today.

That’s where automation and IDP makes the difference.

What the Documo IDP ROI Calculator does

Our IDP ROI Calculator helps you translate manual document processing into measurable time savings.

Here’s how it works:

  • Enter your document volume. How many documents does your team process per month?
  • Estimate your workflow inputs. Provide your average time per document, average pages per document, total FTE hours per year, and expected IDP time reduction percentage.
  • Instantly see your potential time savings. The calculator uses conservative benchmarks to estimate how much time Documo’s Intelligent Document Processing could save your team each month and each year.

The result isn’t a generic automation claim — it’s a clear, data-driven look at how much of your team’s time could be given back through automation.

Why “time saved” is meaningful ROI

Time saved doesn’t just mean fewer hours spent on manual work – it means:

  • Faster turnaround times on patient records and authorizations
  • Quicker access to accurate data across departments
  • Reduced staff burnout from repetitive, low-value tasks
  • More capacity for patient-focused and revenue-impacting work

When time is freed up, everything downstream gets faster and smoother — patient care, billing cycles, compliance audits, and reporting all benefits.

That’s the ripple effect of automation done right.

Built for healthcare, not just automation

Documo’s Intelligent Document Processing was built specifically for healthcare workflows.

That means it understands the complexity of forms, faxes, and records — and handles them with the accuracy, security, and compliance healthcare demands.

  • HIPAA and SOC 2 certified
  • AI-powered document classification and data extraction
  • Seamless integration with EHRs, fax systems, and other healthcare software
  • Human-in-the-loop verification for continuous accuracy

Every second saved with Documo IDP is time gained without compromising compliance or control.

Turning visibility into action

The value of the IDP ROI Calculator isn’t just in the number it shows –  it’s in what that number enables.

When you can quantify time saved, you can:

  • Build a business case for automation investments
  • Prioritize workflows that deliver the fastest impact
  • Communicate tangible value to leadership or operations teams
  • Benchmark progress as automation scales

It’s the clarity you need to move from idea to execution with confidence.
