Bridging the communication
gap for patients from
EVERY generation.
Overview
Intelligent Contacts facilitates communication between healthcare providers and patients
from every generation. Every patient has different communication styles and preferences.
Most Baby Boomers prefer a more personal touch, while Gen Xers enjoy “do it yourself”
independence, and for Gen Y and Millennials a smartphone might as well be a prosthetic
appendage. With these differences in style, how do providers make every patient feel
special?
The Intelligent Care solution combines voice, text/SMS, email, and web self service
technologies to provide the perfect balance of automation and personal touch utilizing the
communication channel each patient prefers without overburdening staff. Matching
communication channels with patient preferences engages the patient and makes them feel
more connected to the provider, more valued, and “cared for”. It puts them in control and
patients respond by relating higher overall satisfaction. Patients express they feel more
nurtured and supported. In short, they report that they received a higher level of care.
Intelligent Contacts solutions are delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS) which means no
capital expense, no hardware required, and no additional burden on IT staff.

Internal Communication
Intelligent Contacts is great for patient communication, but it works just as well to get the word
out to internal staff and more. Our clients use IC solutions within their organizations for:
Post Discharge Follow Up
Preventing unnecessary readmission is a challenge due to the complexity of diseases and social
situations. Most hospital stays are short. After discharge continued healing is dependent on the
patient and family care givers following instructions they may or may not have completely
understood. Unfortunately many patients lack the
support they need for optimal recovery at home. Left
alone patients are often confused about medications,
therapy, and follow up procedures, and all too often
make their best guess without asking their provider.
While there is no one perfect solution, Intelligent Care
includes multiple components each playing a key role in
patient care and promoting recovery.
Live Voice: Ideal for patients at high risk of readmission, Intelligent Contacts predictive dialer
fills the need of connecting patients with nursing staff, social workers, case managers, or
volunteers by managing inbound and outbound call campaigns. 300% more productive
than manual dialing, IC maximizes staff productivity without sacrificing a personal touch.
Automated Message: An effective follow up for many patients is an unobtrusive message.
After receiving a message, patients report higher satisfaction and report feeling that the
provider is more concerned about their long term health. Messaging puts the patient in
control by giving them an opportunity to instantly connect to a live person if they have a
question or need assistance. The call is perceived as friendly contact if things are going well.
Text/SMS Message: Many patients under 30 communicate extensively via text message.
Texting has proven to be an incredibly effective follow up tool and the IC SMS solution
supports instant two way communication. In addition to simple messages, staff can include
web links to post discharge instructions, worksheets, and other helpful information. Like
voice messaging SMS puts patients in control of communication without interruption while
adding a friendly way to communicate in the way they prefer.
E-Mail: Easily send patient reminders, follow up referrals, and informally check up on their
recovery progress. Email is the ideal channel to provide web links and easy access to care
instructions, therapy worksheets, notes, e-cards, preventative care information, and
newsletters. The IC email system is also the perfect way to solicit patient feedback through
surveys and easily measure patient satisfaction.
Patient Reminders
Missed appointments are costly and time is the one resource that
can never be recovered. Staff time is incredibly valuable also and
using them to make manual reminder calls is inefficient. Intelligent
Care includes automated voice, text, and email reminder tools for
friendly and efficient patient reminders. Communicate to patients in
the way they prefer to hear from you. Make “no shows” a thing of
the past and keep staff focused on their high value responsibilities. Intelligent Care
