Can AI Healthcare Phone Services Increase Patient Access & Improve Engagement?

You know what frustrates many patients (including yours truly)? Phone trees. “Press one to select scheduling” (Presses 1) “By pressing 1 you have indicated that you would like to connect to scheduling. Is this correct? Press 1 to confirm or 2 to cancel”. It drives many patients to hand up the phone, drop off the schedule, or go find another healthcare provider. But what if there was a way that automated phone messages could increase access, patient engagement, and experience? Enter an AI Healthcare Phone Service.

If implemented well, AI has the ability to greatly increase practice efficiency and allow clinicians to actually spend more time delivering care. The same holds true for the administrative process of care. Healthcare workers, including office managers and patient access personnel who manage scheduling, struggle with the overwhelm of more phone calls and requests than they can manage. And, despite the fact that many healthcare providers offer an online patient portal, only around 30% of patients actually use those portals. Patients still want to talk on the phone with their providers. So, this week, I speak with Ada Andruszkiewicz from Talking.ai about how implementing AI into processor care can actually increase patient access and improve human connection in healthcare.
