Frequently asked questions.

A call center or contact center in healthcare organizations is responsible for handling conversations with patients to answer questions, schedule appointments, refill prescriptions, handle billing, follow up on visits, and manage plans of care.


Healthcare call center best practices are capabilities, policies, and protocols that call centers can adopt to improve outcomes, drive efficiency, and enhance the experience of patients. Healthcare call center best practices include policies such as capturing and analyzing 100% of conversations with patients, collecting data from conversations instantly, scoring every call to provide agents with automated feedback, and enabling patients to communicate on any channel they choose.


Conversation intelligence is a technology that helps organizations analyze and gain insight from interactions with customers, patients, employees, and other audiences. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, conversation intelligence solutions can determine the meaning of a conversation as well as the emotion in voices to reveal needs, desires, opinions, and expectations. By turning the unstructured information in a conversation into structured data that can be analyzed, categorized, and scored, conversation intelligence helps organizations uncover areas for business performance improvement that can drive growth and transformational change.
