Supported Workflows

Expedited Patient Verification and Call Resolution with Patient Assist

In tandem with an incoming call, Patient Assist automatically looks up a patient’s caller ID connected to their record in your EHR and routes the call to the right staff/department for patient verification based on factors like:

  • Patient Phone Number
  • Family Members
  • Patient Phone Number, ID, Insurance, Request type, etc.

Patient Assist then automatically pops up a dashboard from every incoming call with a 360° view of the patient’s record (Members in household, outstanding bills, prescriptions, etc.) and based on that patient’s caller ID, it expedites the patient verification process and call resolution times. Vital patient information includes:

  • Patient demographics
  • Appointment Details
  • Medications
  • Outstanding/Paid Bills

How Much Time Could Patient Assist Save You?

1 Healthcare Employee × 75 Calls Managed Per Day × 43 Seconds Spent Verifying Patient ID = 6 HR Total Time Spent Per Week


Inbound Self-Service Voice with Patient Engage

Deflect inbound calls using Contact centre’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR). IVR uses input supplied by the patient (patient ID, date of birth, etc.) to look up information within your EHR and fulfil simple patient requests like bill payments, appointment setting, and prescription refills.

How Much Time Could Patient Engage Save You?

1 Healthcare Employee × 75 Calls Managed Per Day x 7 Average Call Handle Time (Minutes) = 8 HR Total Time Spent Per Week

Using Patient Engage could reduce calls by 70% to free up over 6 hours in just one day!

SMS Text Message

Send notifications via text and let patients reply if needed.

Emails

Send more than just plain text for emails including URLs and images.

How Much Money Could Patient Engage Save You?
