Computer technologies have already become an integral part of medicine, and the process is accelerating, showing the world such innovations as medical chips and various types of computer research, including using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
But despite all this, there are a vast number of simpler tasks where AI can demonstrate itself in the best way, primarily in improving the quality of medical services and taking care of patients and medical workers.
We are talking about situations where patients are forced to wait 10, 20, or even more minutes listening to the music of a standard Interactive Voice Response (IVR) menu before a call center operator responds. But what if a second call is required? Another 20 minutes?! The list of existing inconveniences when communicating with a medical institution is quite long. Let’s review the most common:
- Waiting time for an operator response and a long list of IVR options
- Heavy load for doctor assistants of checking and updating appointments
- Poor or non-existing reminder service for patients
- Lack of automation and integration with internal systems
- After-hours availability of making appointments or updates
Patients get upset if they cannot reach support services. In many cases, they receive unprofessional, low-quality support due to the operator’s rudeness or non-constructive dialog, especially when the operator is overloaded and facing emotional burnout.
