Project Progress

We joined the client’s team in 2022 and started with receptionists onboarding and training. We built a team of receptionists and confirmation team and took over a narrow specialization – Clinical Pharmacist & Medical Lab Technologist.

With all the above positions, the clinic reorganized its work more digitally by taking a paperless way and digitalizing the process and procedures. All calls became more personalized, and the speed and number of clients assisted increased significantly.

Well-organized work from our side allowed the clinic administration to pay more attention to medical procedures, as customer support is at a high level now.

Complexity

Our remote specialists are provided with a cloud PBX platform connected with VoIP professional phone stations with exceptional voice quality, completely data secure and accurate call reporting for the business.

The Center needed the scope of innovative technologies to save confidential personal data. As a result, the transactions, daily routine operations, and insurance updates are 100% confidential now with HIPAA, PCI DSS, and specific 3rd party software.

Solution

We started from the reception department by preparing reception remote specialists who could handle patient calls with different requirements.

After a few months, we had a team of 10 receptionists covering all incoming calls to the medical center. The team was able to assist patients who speak Russian, Spanish and English languages. Per day team was handling around 400 calls.

Afterwards, we had trained employees for the confirmation department, who operated the appointment confirmation, rescheduled no-shows, and canceled appointments with the best outcome for the Medical center and the client.

We have also implemented a workflow of highly qualified – Clinical Pharmacist & Medical Lab Technologist. They become significant assets to the clinical team.

Today we have team members assisting patients with numerous inquiries in the following departments:

  • Front operators 
  • Confirmation
  • Clinical Pharmacist
  • Medical Lab Technologist

The team is growing, and the Client requests staff members to join the crew in various positions.
