Enterprise contact center
A strategic opportunity for health care providers
A contact center can help provide a more integrated experience across the major contact points throughout a patient’s lifecycle
For many businesses, consumer interaction is delivered through a wide range of channels and engagement capabilities, with the contact center often serving as the hub of these capabilities. The role of a contact center in shaping consumers’ overall experience with an organization continues to gain importance as it allows a direct, two-way voice in the consumer interaction–enabling relationship building. The contact center can be critical to delivering a differentiating patient experience, helping drive loyalty and increasing market share for health care providers.
Many health care providers today operate across a large network of geographically distributed hospitals, physician practices, ambulatory centers, and diagnostic centers that serve patients independently at each facility–each under a different set of policies and procedures. A contact center can help to unify the disjointed experience across various facilities and locations, enabling a consistent and high-quality patient experience that helps develop long-term consumer loyalty.
