These days, service quality isn’t a luxury – it’s the bare minimum for customers who expect healthcare providers to be efficient and attentive. Expectations when it comes to appointment setting services, communications with referring medical professionals, and patient retention initiatives are at an all-time high.
With this in mind, how does your organization plan to stay on top of the ball?
Healthcare call center services deliver a range of benefits. If you haven’t already considered outsourcing, here’s what a contact center can do for you:
Patients’ well-being depends entirely on the accuracy of the information and the quality of the services they receive. The presence of live agents who are familiar with patients’ needs and have the skill and expertise to respond to different situations also helps create a positive experience for them. Healthcare automation is now a major requirement for providers.
A dedicated contact center can handle large volumes of calls while at the same time keep hold time and abandonment rates to a minimum. A commitment to first call resolution can also translate to fewer escalations. This eases some of the pressure on your in-house staff without compromising the needs of your patients.
Outsourcing to a contact center enables you to scale the offshore team and technology up and down as your client base and business operations grow. This gives you a lot of flexibility and control. This also helps your organization expand and reduce costs in the process.
Patients’ activity records and prescriptions can be difficult to manage. Healthcare call center services can improve efficiency by prioritizing and proactively distributing this task where it’s appropriate. This also helps you gather business intelligence, allowing you to improve and streamline business operations. This, in turn, enables you to meet service level agreements (SLAs) and measure compliance.
The collection is important to any healthcare provider. A contact center can make collections more efficient and help improve the collection department’s productivity. Phone payments using automated service, for instance, is fairly easy to implement. This feature can either be implemented as a standalone application dedicated to bill payments or embedded in a regular phone sales process.
Delivering proactive customer service and creating high levels of customer engagement continue to be a challenge to healthcare professionals despite their qualifications and the availability of advanced technology. They still face hurdles that keep them from moving to a proactive health model.
Healthcare call center services enable you to offer multichannel support through email, SMS, or call. This keeps the number of interrupted transactions that cause customers to switch to other providers to a minimum. Moreover, keeping customers informed of any developments so that they don’t have to call can help improve loyalty, and ultimately, have a positive impact on the bottom-line
