The Communication Breakdown

Patients rely on calls, but traditional phone systems leave many unanswered calls and voicemails without timely follow-up.

Common Challenges in Call Handling

01.

Missed calls often go unreturned, leaving patients frustrated.

02.

Voicemails are rarely checked, causing delays in follow-up.

03.

Manual texting from personal phones creates inconsistencies and errors.

04.

Lack of conversation history makes continuity of care difficult.

05.

Delayed follow-ups reduce patient satisfaction and risk losing opportunities.

Industry-Specific Challenges

Physical Therapy

  • Rescheduling coordination consumes significant time for team members.
  • Frequent cancellations and follow-ups create repeated interruptions during calls.

Optometry

  • Pickup notifications and routine inquiries are often delayed.
  • Authorization and insurance-related calls slow down patient handling.
