What the patients want
- Get the Necessary Information Fast
- When patients are calling into an office after hours, they are prepared to get an answering service of some type.
- What patients don’t want are:
- Having the phone ring multiple times before being answered
- Being put on hold just to leave a quick non-emergency message
- Emergency or Non-Emergency Messages
With the option to self-select from escalating the call to an emergency or leaving a message, patients are much more effective at self-selecting the right option than a live operator.- If the call is not urgent, the patients can quickly leave messages for the next business day
- If the call is truly urgent, the doctor on-call will be notified within 3 seconds and can return the call quicker than ever before
